My website is using WooCommerce 2.6.14, so I thought I should update to WooCommerce 3.1. The weird thing is that I don't see "Update now" button in the Plugins admin page:
Plugins page
And I can't manually update WooCommerce by overwriting the folder in FTP because it's not visible!
FTP
Any idea how can I update WooCommerce?
First back-up your WordPress site if you haven’t already.
Download a ZIP file of the plugin you need to upgrade.
Use FTP to delete the existing plugin directory from the wp-content/plugins/ directory on your site.
Replace the deleted directory by uploading the unzipped plugin to the wp-content/plugins/ directory leaving it in a directory that looks like (for example) wp-content/plugins/plugin-name
5.Sign in to your WordPress site. Go to the ‘Plugins’ menu and verify that the plugin you upgraded is the newest version.

So I have a wordpress theme I'm working on. When I deploy the theme to the server I pack it into a zip and upload using WP admin. Assuming this theme is already installed I expect an update to happen but WP treats it as new and proposes to activate the uploaded theme. What am I doing wrong?
Unfortunately, I have no (s)FTP or SSH access to the server.
It is worth mentioning that metadata in style.css is the same (hence theme name, author etc).
WP version is 6.0.2
Thanks in advance.
Can i update wordpress version of my PHP5 customised wordpress site into latest wordpress version? Now it is in 4.6 and i want to move it to 4.9.1. Any issues will be rised?
You can do it and mostly that will not cause any of issue. But before do WordPress update make sure you have to take backup for your databases once.
First of all take backup for database and make your full theme folder backup and store it as a zip , so if any issue will be raised then you directly unzip that as a theme and that will work fine.
If you have do your WordPress customization all in function.php file then your new WordPress will work perfect with your changes.
If your site have Woocomerce or other more useful plugin for front site then you should take backup for that also.
After WordPress update you may be find plugin update so do it one by one.
I want to install custom theme on wordpress, but have some errors while uploading it. now i want to reinstall wordpress from Cpanel file manager, will my plugins be deleted?
Your Theme and Plugins are stored within the wp-content folder, which is 'inside' WordPress. So, yes, deleting WordPress would delete your Plugins and Themes.
Solution:
Download Filezilla.
Head over to httpdocs > wp-content folder, where you should see two folders entitled plugins and themes.
Drag these folders over to your Desktop (or wherever suits you). What you are doing here, is creating a backup of your Theme and Plugins.
Go ahead and reinstall WordPress (To make a clean install, obviously remove all reference of WordPress and create a new MySql Database)
Once completed, simply access your website via Filezilla again. Head back into httpdocs > wp-content and drag back over the your plugins and themes folder.
By following the above, you can delete WordPress, without losing your Theme files or Plugins.
I have a multisite installation and i want create a plugins and uploads directory for every site , is it possible to change site plugin and uploads path from wp_options ?
The problem is, that a multisiteis supposed to only use one directory for uploads and one for plugins. Thats the purpose of it.
However, you can install the plugin plugin organizer. With that you can use plugins individually for each page.
If you need own plugins and upload directories I suggest that you make one wordpress site for each site instead of a multisite
I just created my first Wordpress theme. I zipped it up and installed it on the server using the Wordpress 3.0.1 Administration Panel. That worked fine. But now I've made a few changes to my theme and I want to update it. I couldn't find an "upgrade" option for uploaded themes so I tried just uploading it again. This is what I got.
Installing Theme from uploaded file:
my-theme.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
Destination folder already exists.
/path/to/wordpress/wp-content/themes/my-theme/
Theme install failed.
Is there any way to update the theme through the administration panel? Or do I have to access the filesystem somehow (FTP, etc.) and delete the directory first?
You can do it all through the control panel. Each theme has a Delete link that you can use to wipe it from the server's file system. Once it's gone, you can re-intall your updated version.
