You will need to use some kind of terminal program to SSH into the server. Our suggested program is Putty.
- SSH into your server, then navigate to your domain’s web root:
cd /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs - Grab the latest WP install
wget https://www.wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz - Get the files out of the archive:
tar xfz latest.tar.gz - Navigate to the wordpress subfolder:
cd wordpress - Copy everything back up to the web root:
cp -rpf * ../ - Navigate back up to web root:
cd .. - Remove the wordpress subfolder:
rm -rf wordpress - Remove the downloaded archive file:
rm -f latest.tar.gz
