With its easy-to-use features and extensive plugin library, it&#8217;s no wonder that millions of website owners choose it.<\/p>\n<p>However, to ensure optimal performance and security, it&#8217;s crucial to keep your WordPress platform and supporting tools up-to-date. While this may initially seem intimidating, the truth is that updating WordPress is actually quite simple and requires no specialized knowledge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Update_WordPress_in_cPanel\"><\/span>How to Update WordPress in cPanel:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Note: If you have made changes to the core files of WordPress, updating may cause you to lose those changes. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s crucial to back up your website and files before proceeding.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Backup_Your_WordPress_Site\"><\/span>Step 1: Backup Your WordPress Site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before updating WordPress in cPanel, start by taking a backup of your website, plugins, and themes. A backup saves a snapshot of your website at a given point in time, which you can use to restore your site if anything goes wrong during the update process.<\/p>\n<p>To backup your WordPress site, log in to your cPanel account and go to the Backup Wizard section. Next, select between full and partial backups. A full backup creates an archive of your home directory, MySQL databases, email forwarders, and filters. A partial backup, on the other hand, lets you select directories and databases that you want to backup. Once you have selected your backup type, pick your backup destination, click &#8220;Generate Backup&#8221; and let the wizard perform its process.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Updating_WordPress\"><\/span>Step 2: Updating WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have taken a backup of your WordPress site, you can proceed with updating WordPress in cPanel. Here&#8217;s how it&#8217;s done:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Log in to your cPanel account.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the &#8220;Softaculous Apps Installer&#8221; section.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the &#8220;WordPress&#8221; icon.<\/li>\n<li>Click on &#8220;Update&#8221; on the top menu.<\/li>\n<li>Select the version of WordPress you would like to update to.<\/li>\n<li>Click &#8220;Update&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Wait for the update process to finish, and you will receive a success message.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With these simple steps, you can update your WordPress site to the latest version, ensuring that it runs on the most secure version of the platform.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Update_WordPress_Plugins\"><\/span>Step 3: Update WordPress Plugins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After updating WordPress, it&#8217;s vital to check for plugin updates. Updated plugins are necessary to make sure that your site functions correctly and that security vulnerabilities are addressed.<\/p>\n<p>To update your WordPress plugins, go to the &#8220;Plugins&#8221; section on your dashboard. You will see a list of all installed plugins. If any plugins have an &#8220;update&#8221; link, click it, and WordPress will automatically update them for you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Update_Themes\"><\/span>Step 4: Update Themes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to plugins, your website&#8217;s theme also requires regular updates. Updating your theme guarantees that it&#8217;s compatible with the latest version of WordPress, its plugins, and its security patches.<\/p>\n<p>To update your WordPress themes, go to the &#8220;Appearance&#8221; section on your dashboard. You will see a list of all installed themes. If a theme has an &#8220;update&#8221; link, click it, and WordPress will automatically update it for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Updating your WordPress site is crucial to keep your site running smoothly with no bugs or vulnerabilities that could put your site at risk. By following the above steps, you can easily update your WordPress site in cPanel and keep it running at its best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WordPress Update: Keep Your Site Up-to-Date and Secure!
