  1. Your assistant checks your installed plugins and their available updates.
  2. WordPress downloads the requested update from WordPress.org and installs it.
  3. It reads the version back, so you know the update really happened.
  • “Install and activate the Classic Editor plugin.”
  • “Is WordPress itself up to date? Update it if not.”
  • “Turn on auto-updates for Yoast SEO.”
  • This recipe installs updates from WordPress.org. Plugins sold elsewhere use their vendor’s update process.
  • Create a backup before updating. See Back up your site. Updates cannot be undone automatically.
