Manage plugins, themes & WordPress core

Steps

  1. Go to Websites → [site] → CMS.
  2. Plugins & themes — activate, deactivate, or deactivate-all (handy when troubleshooting).
  3. Core updates — update WordPress core to the latest version.
  4. Test the site afterwards; if something breaks, deactivate the last plugin you changed or restore a backup.

Tips

  • Update on staging first for major changes (see Use a staging site).
  • Keep plugins and core up to date for security.

Troubleshooting

  • White screen / error after update — deactivate all plugins, then re-activate one by one to find the culprit; or restore a backup.
  • Change not visible — purge the cache.
