Keeping your plugins and themes up to date is one of the most important things you can do for your website. Updates fix security issues, improve performance, and add new features.
IMPORTANT: If Edge Strike Design manages your website maintenance, we handle updates for you automatically. You don't need to do this yourself unless we've asked you to.
Checking for Updates
Log in to your WordPress dashboard at yourwebsite.com/wp-admin.
In the left menu, look for a number badge next to Updates — this tells you how many updates are available.
Click Dashboard > Updates to see the full list.
Running Plugin and Theme Updates
On the Updates page, scroll down to the Plugins section.
Click Select All, then click Update Plugins.
Wait for each plugin to finish updating. You'll see a confirmation message when done.
Scroll down to the Themes section and repeat the same steps if theme updates are available.
WARNING: Occasionally, an update can cause something to look different on your site. If you notice anything unusual after updating, contact us right away and we'll fix it.
