5. Click OK to save your changes.

🧠 What is Smart Update?

Smart Update first tests updates on a clone of your live WordPress site before applying them.

If issues are detected, you will be notified, allowing you to decide whether to proceed with the updates.

This helps ensure your site remains stable and secure.

• Replace [servernaam] with the server your hosting package is hosted on.
• A backup is always automatically created when installing updates. If you manually install updates, we recommend making a backup beforehand.
