Occasionally, you will notice updates are available in your WordPress installation<\/b>. It is recommended that you install updates fairly soon after they become available, as each update can add new functionality or address security concerns. Updates can be available for any themes or plugins you have installed on your website, even if they aren’t active. Sometimes even WordPress itself has a core update. The following steps will show you how to upgrade.<\/p>\n

Be sure to create a backup of your WordPress site before<\/span><\/strong> you make any changes. We recommend using the Total Upkeep<\/strong> plugin to create a backup of your website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you find this process overwhelming, you may want to consider Managed WordPress hosting<\/a>, as many times WordPress updates are included in the service.<\/p>\n
