Who doesn’t know this: You published a post, you add an Update and then you need some time to perhaps link the updates at the beginning of the post.
This will solve your problem: just update, put the shortcode around your update and leave the rest up to the plugin.
<h4>Usage</h4>
Put the Shortcode [update] around some Update-Section. You’re done.
<h4>Examples</h4>
Auto generated title:
<blockquote>
[update] 
 This is an Update 
 [/update]
</blockquote>
Self defined Text:
<blockquote>
[update title=”My custom Update title”] 
 This is an Update 
 [/update]
</blockquote>
Self defined title not shown in post
<blockquote>
[update title=”My custom update link text” notitle=”true”] 
 This is an Update with a custom link text in the beginning, but not showing inside the post 
 [/update]
</blockquote>
Auto generated title not shown in post
<blockquote>
[update title=”false”] 
 This is an Update with a default link text in the beginning, but not showing inside the post 
 [/update]
</blockquote>

WordPress Post Update Links

WordPress Post Update Links will place some links at the beginning to Update-Sections in a Post or Page.

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 fixes this limitation in WordPress by automatically upgrading the theme or plugin if it already exists.
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.

Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades

This is a great plugin, and works exactly as intended.

Works great!


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.


No longer needed

Easily upgrade your themes and plugins using zip files without removing the theme or plugin first.
