Updating Plugins

[mononym]

Hello. I want to update the discourse-translator plugin due to coming core changes in Discourse. With v3.4 a banner appeared:

[Admin Notice] One of your themes or plugins needs updating for compatibility with upcoming Discourse core changes. (id:discourse.post-menu-widget-overrides) Identified plugin: 'discourse-translator'

When looking at the plugins (commit hash) in the Discourse admin settings menu, it seems like the plugins do not update automatically.

Is updating plugins identical to installing them ?

discourse does not auto update plugins (and neither does cloudron). you have to go into each plugin and git pull the latest changes .

I recommend taking a backup and updating each plugin one by one. These things break more often than not.
