Forcibly Update WordPress Plugins

Installatron Plugin and Installatron Server enable server administrators to forcibly update WordPress plugins to the latest version from the server command line. This is beta-quality feature—please report any issues encountered.

Command:

./installatron --upgrade

Required arguments:

• id: The ID of an installed application, a list of installed application ID's separated by a plus (+), or an asterisk can be specified to match all installed applications on the server.
• version: The version to update the installed application to. Setting this to "current" will skip updating the application (only plugins or themes will be updated), and omitting this argument will update to the latest version.
• plugin: The ID of a WordPress plugin, a list of WordPress plugin ID's separated by a comma, or an asterisk can be specified to match all WordPress plugins installed.

Example 1: To update a specific WordPress plugin for every installed application on the server:

/usr/local/installatron/installatron --upgrade --version=current --id='*' --plugin='w3-total-cache'

Example 2: To update a set of WordPress plugins for every installed application on the server:

/usr/local/installatron/installatron --upgrade --version=current --id='*' --plugin='w3-total-cache,wp-super-cache,hello'

Example 3: To update a WordPress plugin for a specific installed application:

/usr/local/installatron/installatron --upgrade --version=current --id='0f1ef0131afc759f09e84c298a18ba75' --plugin='hello'

Example 4: To update all installed WordPress plugins and themes for every installed application on the server:

/usr/local/installatron/installatron --upgrade --version=current --id='*' --plugin='*' --theme='*'
