Updating WordPress and plugins: how to prepare<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Updates keep track of your website. Good preparation and control are more important than one fixed order for each website.<\/p>\n\t\t

Start with a recoverable backup<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Make a backup of your files and database. Check how to restore them. For a company website or webshop, you prefer to test a larger change first in a separate environment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Check the requirements<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

See which WordPress and PHP versions support your theme and plugins. A plugin may require a newer WordPress version; another update may be needed just before you update WordPress. Follow the instructions of the affected developers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Work checked at<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Perform updates in clear steps. Then check your homepage, forms, login and any payment flow. Empty relevant caches when old content remains visible.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Make maintenance predictable<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Schedule a fixed time to check available updates and backups. Ask for support if you have any doubts about compatibility or if you get an error message after an update.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
