How can I manageWordPress Core, Theme, and Plugin Updates via the Control Panel?

WordPress Updates are very important when it comes to the site’s safety and functionality. It’s important to regularly update WordPress installations like core, themes, and plugins, which will keep you safe as well, while you have the newest features, better compatibility, and a smooth WordPress experience.

In this article, we will explain how you can manage WordPress Updates for your website through our WPX Hosting Panel quickly and easily without having to log into your website.

Managing WordPress Updates through your Hosting Panel can be done quickly and easily in a few steps.

Step 1. Log in to your WPX account

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page.​

Step 2. Go to Control Panel

Once logged in:

  1. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.
  2. Click the Control Panel button next to the plan you wish to manage.

If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting or WooCommerce Hosting tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.

  1. Select the Websites section
  2. Click the WordPress button next to the site you want to manage.
  3. After clicking the WordPress button, you’ll have the option to manage WordPress plugins, themes, and Core Updates for this site.
