How do I manage updates to my Wordpress site using WP Manager?

Procédure

The WP manager allows you to manage a variety of important parameters for your website. This makes managing WordPress much more convenient as everything can be managed from this tool. The WP Manager on LWS Panel excels at making large-scale changes, but doesn't give you the same level of control as connecting directly to the WordPress Dashboard itself.

On this help, we're going to look at "How to manage updates" on your WP Manager. This will allow you to automatically update plugins, but also a WordPress theme.

How do I check the status of updates on the WP Manager?

Then click on"WP Manager" in the"Software" section of your web hosting.
