## Beschrijving

WordPress has a built-in feature to install themes and plugins by supplying a zip
file. Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade a theme or plugin using the same process.
Instead, WordPress will say “destination already exists” when trying to upgrade 
using a zip file and will fail to upgrade the theme or plugin.

Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades lost deze beperking op in WordPress door het thema
of de plugin automatisch te upgraden als deze al bestaat.

While upgrading, a backup copy of the old theme or plugin is first created. This
allows you to install the old version in case of problems with the new version.

Attention: Version 2.0.0 changed the functionality of the plugin. You are no longer
required to select “Yes” from a drop down before the theme or plugin can be upgraded.
The need for an upgrade is now detected automatically. So, if you are used to the
old functionality of the plugin, do not be concerned about the absence of upgrade
details on the theme and plugin upload pages. Simply upload the theme or plugin 
as if you were installing it, and the plugin will automatically handle upgrading
as needed.

## Installatie

 1. Download and unzip the latest release zip file
 2. Upload the entire easy-theme-and-plugin-upgrades directory to your `/wp-content/
    plugins/` directory
 3. Activeer de plugin via het ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

### Why does the plugin no longer show the drop down to select “Yes”? Is the plugin broken?

Vanaf versie 2.0.0 vereist deze plugin niet langer dat een vervolgkeuzelijst wordt
gebruikt om aan te geven dat een upgrade moet worden uitgevoerd. De plugin kan nu
bepalen of een upgrade automatisch vereist is. Deze wijziging stroomlijnt niet alleen
het proces voor veel gebruikers, maar lost ook compatibiliteitsproblemen op die 
sommige gebruikers ondervonden bij oudere versies.

### How do I upgrade a theme?

 1. Download the latest zip file for your theme.
 2. Log into your WordPress site.
 3. Go to Appearance > Themes.
 4. Click the “Add New” button at the top of the page.
 5. Click the “Upload Theme” button at the top of the page.
 6. Select the zip file with the new theme version to install.
 7. Click the “Install Now” button.

### Hoe upgrade ik een plugin?

 1. Download the latest zip file for your plugin.
 2. Log into your WordPress site.
 3. Ga naar Plugins > Voeg nieuwe toe.
 4. Klik op de knop “Upload plugin” bovenaan de pagina.
 5. Select the zip file with the new plugin version to install.
 6. Click the “Install Now” button.

### Hoe krijg ik toegang tot de back-up van een oud thema of plugin?

 1. Log into your WordPress site.
 2. Ga naar Media > Bibliotheek.
 3. Type “backup” in het zoekveld en druk op de “Enter” toets.
 4. Zoek de gewenste back-up in de resulterende lijst.
 5. Klik op de titel van de gewenste back-up.
 6. The URL to the backup file is listed on the right side of the page under “File 
    URL”. You can copy and paste that URL into your browser’s URL bar in order to start
    a download.

 [Topher](https://profiles.wordpress.org/topher1kenobe/) 16 september 2024

This was a GREAT plugin and I used it for years, but WordPress core does this now,
so the plugin is no longer needed. Thank you for your great work all these years.

I used this plugin in the past and recently on a WordPress 6.4.2 installation without
problems. It does what it is supposed to do.

 [tophatcc](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tophatcc/) 8 november 2022

Add plugin results in “The plugin does not have a valid header.” Everything about
this theme is low-grade and they are slow to update. I have over 100 themes and 
this is the only one that has continual update problems and even the recommended
way of updating has problems. Pfft

## Changelog

#### 2.0.2

 * Misc: Version bump to show that this project is still active. No code changes
   are needed for functionality to continue.

#### 2.0.1

 * Compatibility Update: Updated to indicate compatibility with WordPress 4.9.8.

#### 2.0.0

 * Enhancement: Removed the requirement for the user to select “Yes” from the drop
   down in order to initiate an update. This new version does not change the appearance
   of the upload form. Instead, it automatically creates a backup and performs an
   upgrade if the supplied plugin or theme already exists.
 * Enhancement: If a zip backup file cannot be created, the old directory is renamed
   to a new name in order to still keep a backup.
 * Enhancement: Updated the code to use a better way of integrating the upgrade 
   logic. This approach should greatly reduce the potential for conflicts with other
   code or site configurations.
 * Enhancement: The backup details now are found in the same format as the rest 
   of the upgrade messages.

#### 1.0.6

 * Bug Fix: Fixed updates not working with some formats of zip files. Thanks to 
   the team at [Kaira](https://kairaweb.com/) for helping solve this issue.
