### Step-by-Step Guide

1. Log in at https://voorbeeld.cc:2222 (or via [Single Sign-On (SSO)](/en/article/logging-in-to-hosting-package-via-single-sign-on-sso-1biycbb/)).
2. Under **Extra Applications**, click **Installatron Applications Installer**.
3. Go to the **My Applications** tab.
4. Click the **Tools icon** next to the application you want to configure.
5. Go to the **Overview** tab.
6. Under **Automatic Update**, complete the form as follows:

* For **Automatic Update**, select **Update to new minor versions and security releases**.
* For **WordPress Plugin Automatic Update**, select **Create a backup and update WordPress plugins when new versions are available**.
* For **WordPress Theme Automatic Update**, select **Create a backup and update WordPress themes when new versions are available**.
* For **Automatic Update Backup**, select **Create a backup and automatically restore the backup if the update fails**.

7. At the bottom of the page, click **Save All**.

| ℹ️ **Additional information:**

* The example above uses a WordPress website.
* A backup will be created before applying updates. If something goes wrong, the previous version can be restored.
* We recommend not using the **Create a backup and update to all new versions option**, as major updates are more likely to cause issues.
* Always create a full backup before applying updates.

||| 📌 **Important:** Replace `voorbeeld.cc` with your own domain name.
