Currently on the blog of my website Camisas Seleção Brasileira I am using WordPress but in a very old version. How to update without breaking plugins, themes...? Is there a release log in WordPress that says the version has a high risk of breaking third-party plugins? Thx
Its good to check if the theme and the plugins have the updates to support the latest version of WordPress and update them all.
It is recommended to follow this process: 1. Start by making a backup of your website and load it locally on your personal system. 2. Next, begin updating WordPress and then proceed to update plugins one by one. 3. After each update, thoroughly check the performance of your website to ensure that there are no errors. 4. Only after confirming that the website is working fine, move on to the next update. 5. After updating all the items, make a backup once again and transfer it to your host.
To safely update WordPress without breaking plugins or themes, start by backing up your website. Then, put your site under maintenance mode, then update plugins and themes before updating WordPress itself. WordPress doesn't specifically label versions as high-risk for breaking third-party plugins, but major releases can potentially cause issues. Always check plugin compatibility with the new WordPress version before updating. Again backup your site before updating!
