How to Manually Update WordPress Themes, Plugins, and Core with Backup | Keep WordPress Website Updated
To manually update WordPress themes, plugins, and the core while ensuring a backup, start by creating backups of both your website database and files. Deactivate all plugins to prevent conflicts, and then update the WordPress core by downloading the latest version from the official website and replacing existing files through FTP or your hosting control panel.

Next, update your themes by switching to a default theme, updating the theme files, and reactivating your preferred theme. Similarly, update plugins by selecting them in the admin dashboard and applying the update. Reactivate all plugins, test your website thoroughly, and delete unnecessary installation files. Always check for compatibility and keep a record of versions for reference.
