    Hi,
    I’m very new to WP development but I’ve just developed a custom plugin to add some shortcode to my site.
    Plugin works fine but I’m not able to update it by admin console. With the active plugin I try to update it by “Add new” and uploading the new archive but I always receive a message “destination folder already exists”

    I’ve update the plugin version in metadata i.e. from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0

    /*
    Plugin Name: myplugin
    Plugin URI: mysite
    Description: mydescription
    Version: 1.1.0
    Author: myName
    Author URI: mysite
    */

    and I expected that this would be enough

    Of course If I uninstall the plugin and reinstall everything works fine.

    What I’ve missed?
    Maybe is the wrong procedure to update a plugin already installed?
