Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Force Reinstall

You can simply use the Force Reinstall option to revert any changes made to the plugin or theme back to its original state.

This is likely because the plugin or theme was not installed from WordPress.org and therefore does not have a download link available.

No, your data will not be affected. The Force Reinstall option only replaces the plugin or theme files and does not modify any data or settings associated with the plugin or theme.
