I want to update these plugins, but I can't. I don't have an "Install this update" button, as you can see in the screenshot.

Downloading them and uploading them manually says it already has a plugin with this name installed.

I installed the latest version of Moodle 3.9, then I managed to do manual updates by downloading the ZIP files and reuploading them to the server. This time it didn't complain about already having the plugin installed and it ran through the setup process.

If my memory is correct, this is the view you get when your web server does not have permission to write in each of the plugin folders. That's why it is giving you the download link for each plugin.

Hi, 

so I guess it´s totally safe to let clients update plugins in the User Interface with that button?...



Thanks,
