This is the easiest method for most websites and doesn&rsquo;t require coding or manual file changes.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping WordPress updated helps protect your website against known security vulnerabilities, fix bugs, and maintain compatibility with themes and plugins. Before updating, create a full backup so you can restore your website if something goes wrong.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can&rsquo;t update WordPress through the dashboard, you can use FTP or WP-CLI instead. You can also configure automatic updates to keep WordPress up to date without installing every new release manually.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide covers each method, the precautions to take beforehand, and how to update WordPress themes and plugins.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-reasons-to-update-a-site-to-the-latest-wordpress-version\" class=\"wp-block-heading h-t-title-2\">Reasons to update a site to the latest WordPress version<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like any other software, an update will ensure that WordPress users can improve their sites with the new features, upgrades, and bug fixes.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&rsquo;t update your WordPress, the site will perform less efficiently as it is outdated, and visitors will be less likely to explore it. As a result, the website will have lower traffic, which isn&rsquo;t ideal in the long run.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, there are other perks of updating WordPress:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Better security<\/strong>. Previous versions of WordPress are more prone to security vulnerabilities. <a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-implement-security-updates\" href=\"\/au\/tutorials\/how-to-secure-wordpress\/\">Implement security updates<\/a> to prevent hackers from stealing confidential data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speed<\/strong>. Installing a new version of WordPress can <a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-speed-up-the-site\" href=\"\/au\/tutorials\/speed-up-wordpress\/\">speed up the site<\/a>. As a result, it will be more responsive on different browsers and devices, encouraging visitors to stay longer and potentially return in the near future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compatibility<\/strong>. The new WordPress release will make your site compatible with plugins and themes. As such, you&rsquo;ll have no problems installing other features to extend your site&rsquo;s functionality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Functionality<\/strong>. WordPress updates come with implementations of new or improved quality-of-life features. There&rsquo;ll be more options and tools for scaling up your site.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 id=\"before-updating-wordpress\" class=\"wp-block-heading h-t-title-2\">Before updating WordPress<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before updating to the latest version of WordPress, it&rsquo;s essential to prepare for any possible missteps.<\/p><p>    <div class=\"announcement-block announcement-block--warning\">\n        <span class=\"announcement-block__heading\">\n            <svg width=\"24\" height=\"26\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 26\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                d=\"M12 23.5C17.799 23.5 22.5 18.799 22.5 13C22.5 7.20101 17.799 2.5 12 2.5C6.20101 2.5 1.5 7.20101 1.5 13C1.5 18.799 6.20101 23.5 12 23.5ZM13.637 8.65198C13.637 7.74791 12.9041 7.01501 12 7.01501C11.0959 7.01501 10.363 7.74791 10.363 8.65198C10.5335 10.5375 10.875 14.383 10.875 14.383C10.875 15.0043 11.3787 15.508 12 15.508C12.6213 15.508 13.125 15.0043 13.125 14.383V14.38L13.637 8.65198ZM11.9927 16.714C11.3714 16.714 10.8677 17.2177 10.8677 17.839C10.8677 18.4603 11.3714 18.964 11.9927 18.964H12.0073C12.6286 18.964 13.1323 18.4603 13.1323 17.839C13.1323 17.2177 12.6286 16.714 12.0073 16.714H11.9927Z\"\n                fill=\"#BE1025\"\/>\n            <\/svg>\n            Warning        <\/span>\n        <p class=\"announcement-block__content\">\n            <b>Warning!<\/b> Remember that these updates will impact your site files and their database.        <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n\n<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&rsquo;s a quick checklist before updating a WordPress site:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Read and understand the update notice<\/strong>. Find out what the latest update carries through the WordPress changelog. It can either be new features or security patches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check the support forums<\/strong>. See what others say about the latest version of WordPress and whether it contains errors or bugs. Decide if it&rsquo;s necessary to update now or wait longer. As a rule of thumb, prioritize security updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-create-a-full-wordpress-backup\" href=\"\/au\/tutorials\/backup-wordpress\/\">Create a full WordPress backup<\/a><\/strong>. Backups prevent permanent data loss and act as a fallback plan if an error occurs while you&rsquo;re modifying or updating your website. Make sure you can restore your site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Turn off caching<\/strong>. Caching plugins may not recognize if a WordPress installation is taking place, which can impede the process. Clear your WordPress cache and turn off caching plugins first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deactivate other plugins<\/strong>. Some WordPress updates aren&rsquo;t compatible with certain plugins. This can result in an inaccessible website. Deactivate any add-ons and extensions to install the update.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Upgrade PHP version<\/strong>. If you find that your current PHP version is not compatible with the update, make sure to <a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-update-php-version\" href=\"\/au\/tutorials\/how-to-change-your-php-version\/\">update PHP version<\/a> of your website.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 id=\"how-to-update-wordpress-4-easy-methods\" class=\"wp-block-heading h-t-title-2\">How to update WordPress<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Updating WordPress through the admin dashboard is the easiest option for most users.

You can also configure automatic updates for major WordPress releases.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use Hostinger, you can manage available WordPress automatic update settings through Hostinger dashboard.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instructions on configuring update preferences, managing automatic updates for plugins and themes, or changing update behavior through <code>wp-config.php<\/code>, see our <a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-guide-to-managing-wordpress-automatic-updates\" href=\"\/au\/tutorials\/wordpress-auto-update\/\">guide to managing WordPress automatic updates<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with automatic updates enabled, maintain regular backups and check your website after major changes to identify potential compatibility problems.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-au-wordpress-hosting-2\" aria-label=\"Wordpress hosting\" class=\"hgr-tutorials-cta hgr-tutorials-cta-wordpress-hosting\" href=\"\/au\/wordpress-hosting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/New-WP_in-text-banner.png\/w=1024,h=1024,fit=scale-down\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111781\"  sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><h2 id=\"how-to-update-wordpress-themes-and-plugins\" class=\"wp-block-heading h-t-title-2\">How to update WordPress themes and plugins<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After updating the core WordPress files, don&rsquo;t forget to do theme and plugin updates as well. If you don&rsquo;t update your <a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-wordpress-database\" href=\"\/au\/tutorials\/wordpress-database\/\">WordPress database<\/a>, technical and operational errors can mess up the functionality of your website.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&rsquo;s important to check all the plugins and themes regularly, so you&rsquo;ll know which of them require immediate updates. Updating them late will make it more difficult to synchronize the features on your website, heightening the risk of potential crashes.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before updating, run a test and check if the updated version won&rsquo;t cause any issues to your website.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To perform plugin and theme updates, navigate to the <strong>Updates<\/strong> page by hovering over the <strong>Dashboard<\/strong> menu.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will lead you to the updates screen. Here, you will find all the plugins and themes that have come out with the newest releases.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tick <strong>Select all<\/strong> to update them all at once, or do it one by one by selecting the specific plugins and themes you want to update. However, be mindful when choosing to update all plugins at a time, as it would use a lot of your plan&rsquo;s resources and might slow down your website.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the process involves the same steps, you&rsquo;ll have to update your plugins separately from your themes. Make sure to update your caching plugin first to avoid complications.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a data-click-id=\"hgr-post-content-link-hostinger-com-au-tutorials-wp-content-uploads-sites-2-2023-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/au\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/wpadmin-dashboard-updates-updateplugins-highlighted.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/LqiWLm-3MGbYHtFuUbcBtA\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/wpadmin-dashboard-updates-updateplugins-highlighted.png\/w=1024,h=1024,fit=scale-down\" alt=\"The button to update plugins on the WordPress dashboard\" class=\"wp-image-80384\"  sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hostinger users can update their themes and plugins via Hostinger dashboard.

A well-functioning site will attract more visitors and increase your conversion rates.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For updating, you&rsquo;ll need to check if there are any upcoming WordPress releases, perform a backup, clear the website cache, and perform PHP upgrade. Make sure to also deactivate plugins before updating to the new WordPress version to prevent file errors.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you sign off, here&rsquo;s a quick recap of four ways to update your site to the latest WordPress version:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Updating through WordPress Admin Dashboard<\/strong>. Click on an automatic update message on the WP admin panel to proceed with WordPress installation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Updating manually via an FTP client<\/strong>. Overwrite the old core files with new ones downloaded from the official WordPress repository.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Updating via SSH and WP-CLI<\/strong>.
