The WordPress security team works diligently to provide important security updates and vulnerability patches. However, the use of third-party plugins and themes and other website software exposes users to additional security threats.
By regularly installing the latest versions of core WordPress files and extensions, you can ensure that your website possesses all of the prevailing security patches and your WordPress site is more secure.
According to PatchStack’s State of WordPress Security study, there was a 150% increase in the number of vulnerabilities facing WordPress websites in 2021, with a whopping total of 29% which were never patched at all.
Plugins and themes can become deprecated, obsolete, or include bugs that pose serious security risks to your WordPress website.
To secure your WordPress installation and improve security, we recommend that you audit your plugins and themes on a regular basis.
Check the number of installs before adding a new plugin to your WordPress site. Check WordPress plugin reviews and ratings before adding a new plugin. If a plugin has not been updated in a long time it can have vulnerabilities used by malicious users to compromise WordPress websites.
You should always apply updates as soon as possible to keep your WordPress site safe & secure. Logging into your site on a frequent basis will ensure that you’re aware of updates as they are released. If you cannot update your site for any reason, consider using a website firewall to virtually patch the problem and minimize the risk.
Verify compatibility between the plugin and your current WordPress version. Download the latest version of the plugin from an official source and save it on your local machine. Check for special update instructions from the plugin developer or vendor. If none exist, proceed with steps 4-9. Log into your server via SFTP or SSH. Navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ and download this folder to your computer to serve as a backup. Locate the directory of the plugin you want to update and delete it from FTP. Upload the latest version to the same location. Log into WordPress as an admin and click Dashboard > Plugins. Locate the plugin you just updated from the list and click Activate.
