These options bring enhanced data protection and increased flexibility when it comes to managing your website’s data. So, let’s dive into this comprehensive guide on performing manual updates on WordPress.
Why manual updates matter:
Updating your WordPress site is essential to keep it secure, up-to-date, and running smoothly. However, relying solely on automatic updates may not always be the best strategy. Manual updates offer you more control and allow you to ensure that everything goes smoothly during the update process.
Benefits of manual backup and restore:
The new manual backup and restore options from HighLevel provide WordPress users with a range of benefits, including:
-
Enhanced data protection: Manual backups give you peace of mind, knowing that your valuable site data is safely stored. In the event of any unforeseen issues during an update, you can easily restore your site to its previous state.
-
Flexibility in managing data: Sometimes, you only want to update specific aspects of your website without affecting the entire site. Manual updates allow you to choose which components to update, giving you the flexibility to customize your approach.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you with manual updates:
-
