Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Enable Drag and Drop on Adding Plugin Upload

This plug-in works in all modern browsers that support the HTML5 Drag and Drop API, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Only ZIP files are supported. The plug-in automatically validates that dropped files are ZIP archives.

The drag and drop functionality appears on the plug-in upload page (/wp-admin/plugin-install.php), on the Plugins page (/wp-admin/plugins.php) — drop ZIP files onto the plugin list itself, or use the "Upload Plugin" button next to "Add Plugin" — and on the install/update result pages (/wp-admin/update.php) so you can upload another plug-in right away.

Yes. Drop or select several ZIP files and they are added to an upload queue, each on its own line with a remove button. Clicking "Install Now" installs them one at a time and shows the result for each file.

The result list shows a red "click to replace existing [current version] with new [uploaded version]" link for that plug-in. Clicking it replaces the installed version with the uploaded one, without leaving the page.

Yes. After the uploads finish, an "Activate Uploaded Plugins Now" button appears; clicking it activates all plug-ins that were just installed. Plug-ins that were already active stay active.
