How to update wordpress theme and plugins manually without errors

[Saint Gabriel]

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.

To upgrade your nulled theme from the admin dashboard, all you need to do is go to:

Plugins > Add New and search, install and activate the plugin: "Easy Theme and Plugins Upgrades"

How do I upgrade a plugin?

-Download the latest .zip file for the plugin.
-Log into your WordPress website.
-Go to “Plugins”>“Add New.”
-Click the “Upload Plugin” button at the top of the page.
-Select the .zip file with the updated version of the plugin.
-Click the “Install Now” button.

You can also use the "Update Theme and Plugins from Zip File" plugin.

Did you try this?

Update:

You can also use the "Update Theme and Plugins from Zip File" plugin.

If it doesn't work still, then you should install: WP File Manager.

Then you upload the Updated plugin Zip file to the plugins folder, then you Unzip and overwrite the old file.

It works very well with Bookly I just tried! It was just to deactivate the old one and activate the new one and then throw away the old one.
I got an error message just like you, but it was just scroll down and deactivate / activate

You don't need this anymore. The latest version of WordPress now has it as an inbuilt feature.
