Update One Plugin by Slug/ZIP (WebUI Method)
- Sign in to cPFence WebUI and select the server.
- Navigate to Tools & Utilities ➜ WP-AutoShield Bulk Tools ➜ Bulk Update One Plugin.
- Enter the plugin slug (e.g.
wordpress-seo) or paste a ZIP URL. - Use Verify Slug to confirm the slug exists, then click Bulk Update Plugin.
- Monitor the results; cPFence skips sites where the plugin is missing and updates every other install.
Combine this with the site selector if you only want to update a test group before rolling out globally.
Command Line (CLI) Method
- SSH into the server.
- Update by slug:
cpfence --bulk-update-wp-plugin wordpress-seo - Or point to a custom ZIP package:
cpfence --bulk-update-wp-plugin https://example.com/pro-plugin.zip
Always test premium ZIP uploads on a staging server first to confirm compatibility.
