Backup

Backup before WordPress update - why it matters

Updating without backup turns a simple admin task into a risk of long outage.

When this matters

One incompatible plugin is enough for the site to stop working or WordPress admin to become unavailable.

How to prepare backup before a WordPress update: files, database, plugins, theme, WP Toolkit, Installatron and rollback plan.

Practical checklist

  • back up files and database
  • check PHP version requirements
  • update first on a copy or staging
  • after the change check forms, cart and login
