More About Updating WordPress

WordPress requires constant updating. But for those who have only recently started working with WordPress and have not yet had time to understand all the intricacies of the work, this action seems simply impossible.

After all, if done incorrectly, there is the possibility of losing information that you have contributed with great difficulty. For those who still do not venture to update WordPress, but really need it, experienced users recommend copying the blog (that is, all the blog files) to your computer. And in case of loss, you can easily restore all the information data.

So, you do decide to update. Keep in mind that when you update WordPress, all the system files and basic templates will also change. Don’t be afraid of that. Just save the important changes on your computer.

All new versions get any changes or improvements. Therefore, at times there are minimum requirements that are higher than previous ones. Before you start the upgrade process, it is worth checking such requirements on the page where they are posted. Since the page is filled with information in English, knowledge of this language will be necessary. You can use a special computer terminology rather than the usual one.

Next, copy all the important files with the settings. As we said above, this is a very important step. Experienced users advise you to copy and save your blog to your computer regardless of the update processes. That way you will have a more complete saved version.

At the end it is worth disabling plugins. And the next step is to make that very update. You can choose the automatic option. In the end, delete the cache and plugins.
