Fixes

EZ Delete wasn't deleting and old plugin version wasn't being removed before install — both caused by the same root issue: WP_Filesystem on shared hosting (like SiteGround, WP Engine, Cloudways) silently fails when it can't write files without FTP credentials, even though the web process itself has full permission.

Changes

  • All file deletion now uses native PHP unlink() / rmdir() directly, bypassing WP_Filesystem entirely
  • Zip slug is now read from the uploaded file before File_Upload_Upgrader moves it — previously the slug read could fail after the move, leaving $zip_slug empty so nothing got deactivated/deleted

Install

Drop wp-ez-plugin-deploy-1.8.0.zip onto the EZ Plugin Deploy zone (or upload via Plugins → Add New).
