Update WordPress, themes and plugins

Updated on 4 November 20261 min read

Updates close security holes. Ideally update at least once a month.

Here's how

Make a backup first (see Backups, or prepare a backup via Rewind in DigiPanel).
Log in at yourdomain.be/wp-admin.
Go to Dashboard → Updates.
Update the plugins first, then the themes, and finally WordPress itself.
Check your site in a private window. If something's wrong, restore the backup.

Rather not do this yourself? With Managed WordPress we keep WordPress, your themes and plugins up to date.
