Force Reinstall

Description

The Force Reinstall plugin is a useful tool for when you need to reinstall a plugin or theme on your WordPress site. Whether you’ve experienced a broken update, suspect your plugins may have been affected by malware, or simply need to reset changes you’ve made to a plugin, this plugin can help.

With just one click, Force Reinstall sets the plugin or theme as needing an update, which forces WordPress to reinstall the plugin or theme. This is only a temporary setting and will be reset when you visit the updates page or update a single plugin or theme. You don’t have to worry about any plugin or theme files being manipulated.

Give the Force Reinstall plugin a try and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your plugins and themes are intact and up to date.

This plugin also includes non-intrusive ads (shown only in the backend) that help support the ongoing development and maintenance of the plugin. Please see our privacy policy for information on data collection.

FAQ

What if I need to reset changes made to a plugin or theme?

You can simply use the Force Reinstall option to revert any changes made to the plugin or theme back to its original state.

Why do some plugins or themes not have the Force Reinstall option?

This is likely because the plugin or theme was not installed from www.ads-software.com and therefore does not have a download link available.

Will my data be affected when I use the Force Reinstall option?

No, your data will not be affected. The Force Reinstall option only replaces the plugin or theme files and does not modify any data or settings associated with the plugin or theme.

kudos to the developer!

A fantastic utility plugin

SiteBolts January 20, 2024

We found this plugin a month ago and it’s been insanely helpful for both cleaning off malware and repairing botched plugin updates. The only issue we’ve found is that it can’t reinstall premium plugins whose licenses have expired, but that’s not really the plugin’s fault. Overall, it’s a fantastic tool to have on hand.

Performs as advertised

Very useful. But it still keeps asking for a 5-star rating and usage collection which is annoying. I now keep it disabled until I need it.
