Allows plugins and themes to be updated using the standard WordPress plugin or theme update process.
When you want to update a custom plugin or theme but don’t have an automated process 
then you can use this plugin to allow you to install a new version of a plugin or theme 
without having to delete the existing plugin or theme.
Tested with WordPress 6.4 and WordPress MultiSite. 
Note: This plugin is no longer necessary. WordPress core functionality allows you to update existing plugins and themes.

With the upgrade to WordPress 4.7.1, some non-image files fail to upload on certain server setups. This will be fixed in 4.7.3, see the <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/39550" rel="nofollow ugc">Trac ticket</a>.
In the meantime, this plugin is a workaround that disables the recently introduced strict MIME check to restore the upload functionality.
Don’t forget to remove the plugin once WordPress 4.7.3 is available!

Disable Real MIME Check


IDK if it's a bug in WC or something, but I can't upload .csv files, had to hook this in so I can update some prices... very helpful!
