[ wp theme update ] - update from zip file ( like install )

[riccardodicurti]

I saw that it is possible to install a theme from a zip file but cannot update it.

wp theme install http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucketname/my-theme.zip?AWSAccessKeyId=123&Expires=456&Signature=abcdef

I would like to ask if it would be possible to add this feature, the themes I need to update I have them as zip file and they are not available in repository, also being active or parent themes I cannot delete to install them again.

I found this workaround: wp-cli/wp-cli#3675 (comment)

However, I think it is more correct to add the zip to the update

Thanks for the report, @riccardodicurti

wp theme update uses the WordPress updater, sowp theme install is the most appropriate command to forcefully install a ZIP
