WP_Upgrader::install_package( array|string $args = array() ): array|WP_Error

Install a package.

Description

Copies the contents of a package from a source directory, and installs them in a destination directory. Optionally removes the source. It can also optionally clear out the destination folder if it already exists.

Parameters

$argsarray|stringoptional
Array or string of arguments for installing a package.
  • source string
    Required path to the package source.
  • destination string
    Required path to a folder to install the package in.
  • clear_destination bool
    Whether to delete any files already in the destination folder. Default false.
  • clear_working bool
    Whether to delete the files from the working directory after copying them to the destination. Default false.
  • abort_if_destination_exists bool
    Whether to abort the installation if the destination folder already exists. Default true.
  • hook_extra array
    Extra arguments to pass to the filter hooks called by WP_Upgrader::install_package().

Default:array()

Return

array|WP_Error The result (also stored in WP_Upgrader::$result), or a WP_Error on failure.
