Keep plugins maintained with a way back if an update causes trouble.
What to do
- Back up files and the database and confirm you can restore them.
- Read update notes, especially for payment, form and page-builder plugins.
- Test on staging where possible.
- Update one plugin at a time and test its functions.
- Clear the relevant cache and check desktop and mobile pages.
Check the result
Test forms, checkout and login after related plugins change.
If you need a hand
Record the plugin and version if something fails. Coordinate with us on a care package to avoid overlapping maintenance.
Open a support request. Include the affected domain and what you tried. Leave out passwords, full payment details, and private keys.
