I have a custom WordPress plugin in zip format, and I’d like to update it on my website without a lot of work.
Thankfully, it’s actually simple!
How to Update WordPress Plugin from Zip File
- Install & activate the Update Theme & Plugins From Zip File WordPress plugin.
- Go to your plugins page in WordPress.
- Click on the ADD NEW button.
- Click on the UPLOAD PLUGIN button.
- Click BROWSE and choose your zip file you downloaded.
- Click the INSTALL NOW button.
That’s it!
