 * Hi, I hope you are well.
   Please try this test:Download a plugin then install 
   it by uploading it.Activate the plugin.Now suppose you are a developer and edit
   the plugin code on the PC then reupload the plugin again without delete the old
   one on the server.
 * Now a screen will alert you the plugin already exist and ask if you want to replace
   it.
   Give the command button to replace it and you will see a white page that 
   ask to select a file. This is an WP Adminify issue and this page is titled Error.
 * If you do the same test without Adminify you will see this issue never exist.
 * Could you try to reproduce and fix? Thank you!

 * Hi [@peopleinside](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peopleinside/)
 * Thank you very much for the detailed report and for taking the time to explain
   the exact steps to reproduce the issue – that was really helpful.
 * We’ve identified the cause and **fixed the issue** you mentioned. A **new update
   of WP Adminify 4.0.6.1 has just been released a few minutes ago** that resolves
   the white “Error” screen shown when replacing an existing plugin during upload.
 * **Please update WP Adminify to the latest version and try the same test again.**
 * If you still notice any issues related to this, or if you face **any other unexpected
   behavior**, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We’ll be happy to investigate
   further and assist you.
 * Thanks again for your support and cooperation! 🙌
