Summary

Ran Sam's selected option B: update the remaining WordPress plugins one at a time instead of using a bulk update. The live path used was /home/1615235.cloudwaysapps.com/fctbkwwahp/public_html.

Work Completed

• Confirmed wp-content/upgrade remained 2775 after the earlier updater repair.
• Listed live pending plugin updates from WP-CLI.
• Updated plugins one at a time with plugin-directory snapshots before each successful update.
• Stopped on wp-smush-pro when the vendor updater returned a license/entitlement warning, then skipped it and continued with the remaining inactive Kadence plugin.
• Created local session log: admin/session_logs/wp-plugin-one-by-one-update-batch-2026-05-17.md.
