This article currently needs to be rephrased to be worded better for the RoboWiki environment. Please edit this page to improve the article. |
This post will describe the process of upgrading any plugins installed. Most of the time installing manually is more reliable and is recommended (spending 30 minutes fixing a problem that Wordpress created or spending 5 minutes doing it yourself).
How to Upgrade Wordpress Plugins
- From the Dashboard, click "Plugins" on the left hand navigation bar.
- Quick Tip: A number in a circle should inform you how many, if any, plugins need upgrading.
- On this page, you should see a list of plugins. Ones that need to be updated should be highlighted with a box below them informing you of this.
- Upgrade Automatically
- Click "Upgrade Automatically" underneath the desired plugin.
- Fill out the FTP information, and click "Proceed". After this, you will be waiting a bit. Don't close anything.
- If this works, life is good. If not, move on to "Upgrade Manually".
- Upgrade Manually
- Click "View version x.x.x Details" underneath the desired plugin.
- From this new page, click "WordPress.org Plugin Page" on the right hand navigation bar.
- From the WordPress.org page, click the orange "Download" button on the right hand navigation bar.
- Extract the file.
- Using a FTP client, upload the plugin to /public_html/team/wp-content/plugins (if you don't know how to use FTP, look here)
- Merge the plugin folder (just in case there are any preference files or such though it should be in the database).
- This is only best unless the plugin says otherwise! Read the README.txt!
- Merge the plugin folder (just in case there are any preference files or such though it should be in the database).
- Upgrade Automatically
- A database upgrade may be required, but this all depends on the plugin. Things should be nominal now.
