A step-by-step guide and best practices for updating plugins on mcccdf.org


Download a Copy of Database

Before upgrading plugins, it is recommended to download a copy of the site's most recent database backup.

  • In the Wordpress dashboard, click on Tools > Backups.

  • You should see a list of recent database backups. Download the most recent one by clicking Download under the Actions column.


Perform Updates on Stage

As a best practice, it is recommended to perform updates on the stage site first:

Update them one by one with verifying a successful update for each.

Once you've successfully updated/tested the plugin updates on stage, then update them one by one on the live site.


How to Update Plugins

  • In the Wordpress dashboard, click on Plugins on the sidebar.

  • You should see an Update Available option to sort plugins only by those that have an update available.

  • Below each individual plugin, you will see an Update Now option.

Tip:

To maintain site security and performance, check in to the dashboard weekly to perform any plugin updates needed.

  • No labels
