How do I update WordPress to the latest version?

Keeping WordPress up to date is important for security, performance, and compatibility with themes and plugins.

Updating WordPress

1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.

2. Navigate to Dashboard > Updates.

3. If a new version of WordPress is available, click Update Now.

4. Wait for the update process to complete.

Before Updating

We recommend creating a backup of your website before performing major updates. This ensures you can quickly restore your website if any unexpected issues occur.

Updating Themes and Plugins

While you're updating WordPress, it's also a good idea to update:

• Themes

• Plugins

• Language files

You can manage these updates from the Dashboard > Updates section.

Automatic Updates

Many WordPress installations can be configured to automatically install security updates and minor releases, helping keep your website secure with minimal effort.

Using Softaculous

If WordPress was installed through Softaculous, you may also be able to manage updates directly from your hosting control panel.
