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.
