Message:

Upgrade/Install: Create a temporary backup of plugins and themes before updating.

This aims to make the update process more reliable and ensures that if a plugin or theme update fails, the previous version can be safely restored.

• When updating a plugin or theme, the old version is moved to a temporary backup directory:
  • wp-content/upgrade-temp-backup/plugins/[plugin-slug] for plugins
  • wp-content/upgrade-temp-backup/themes/[theme-slug] for themes.

• If the update fails, then the backup kept in the temporary backup directory is restored to its original location.
• If the update succeeds, the temporary backup is deleted.

To further help troubleshoot plugin and theme updates, two new checks were added to the Site Health screen:

• A check to make sure that the upgrade-temp-backup directory is writable.
• A check that there is enough disk space available to safely perform updates.

To avoid confusion: The temporary backup directory will NOT be used to “roll back” a plugin to a previous version after a completed update. This directory will simply contain a transient backup of the previous version of a plugin or theme being updated, and as soon as the update process finishes, the directory will be empty.

Follow-up to [55204], [55220].
