Step 1: Backup Your Website

Before updating the plugin, creating a backup of your website is essential. This ensures you can restore your site if anything goes wrong during the update process.

 

Creating a Full Site Backup

  • Using Hosting Provider Tools: Many hosting providers offer tools to create backups. Check your hosting dashboard for backup options.


  • Using a Backup Plugin: You can use a WordPress backup plugin like UpdraftPlus, BackupBuddy, or Duplicator to create a full site backup.


  • Database Backup: Ensure that your database is also backed up. Most backup plugins handle this automatically, but you can use tools like phpMyAdmin for a manual backup.
