Plugin Refresher is designed for repair workflows where the plugin should match a known-good WordPress.org source. It helps technicians restore clean files without downloading, unpacking, and uploading replacement plugin folders by hand.
Repair modified files
What it means: Replace files that may have been altered by infection, failed updates, or incomplete maintenance.
How to use it: Use scanner, file change, or core support notes to decide what needs refreshing.
Avoid custom code loss
What it means: Custom plugins or manually edited plugin files should not be refreshed blindly.
How to use it: Confirm backups and customizations before replacing anything.
Verify after refresh
What it means: Refreshing is not the final step; the site still needs testing.
How to use it: Retest scanner findings, front-end behavior, and plugin settings after repair.
Important: Do not refresh custom plugins or plugins with direct code modifications unless you have a backup.
