In this video, I'm going to show you how
0:02
you can set your plugins to
0:04
automatically update themselves. So, for
0:07
this, I'm going to show you using two
0:09
methods. One is using a plug-in and the
0:11
other one is without a plugin. So, if
0:14
you have a WordPress website, it is
0:16
pretty much simple for you to apply
0:18
this. So, you don't need to go ahead and
0:20
each and every time check for any update
0:22
on your plugins. As you can see, I have
0:25
quite a number of plugins on my website.
0:28
And this is a WordPress website. And it
0:30
will be much tedious if I have to check
0:32
for update each and every time and then
0:34
update them. As you can see, these are
0:37
quite a number of them. And here you can
0:39
see most of my plugins are set to auto
0:43
update. So, let me show you how you can
0:45
do this. So to do this, go ahead and
0:47
click on plugins and then click on add
0:50
plugin and then look for a plugin called
0:53
auto updates manager. Just like that.
0:58
And as you can see we have here this
1:00
plugin called easy auto updates manager.
1:04
And here it is. It has over 300,000
1:08
active installation. And this is the
1:10
author. It is called easy updates
1:12
manager. So if I go ahead and install
1:15
it, it will be installed and then just
1:18
activate it. Great, the plug-in has been
1:21
activated. Now at this point, you can
1:24
see the changes have been applied and
1:27
now my plugins are being auto updated by
1:30
easy updates manager. So I don't have to
1:33
do any manual lifting or any task to
1:36
update these plugins. They'll
1:38
automatically be updated. Now the good
1:40
thing with this plugin is that it checks
1:42
for any update whenever it is available
1:44
and then it automatically up updates
1:47
that plugin even when you are offline.
1:50
So that's the first method you can use
1:52
for you to automatically update your
1:54
WordPress plugins. Now in the second
1:56
method you'll need to go ahead and
1:58
access your C panel for your website.
2:00
For that you can go ahead and login into
2:03
C panel with your credentials.
2:04
Alternatively you can just go ahead and
2:06
log into your client area. So you can go
2:09
to your web hosting company and then
2:11
click on client login. And once you are
2:13
logged in, go ahead and choose C panel
2:16
login option. So most of the web hosting
2:19
companies provide this option. So I'll
2:21
go ahead and log into my C panel here.
2:23
And then from here scroll down until you
2:26
get to the section called software.
2:30
And if I scroll down, you can see this
2:31
is my software section. Now choose your
2:34
content management platform or software.
2:37
For my case, I'm managing my content
2:39
using WordPress. So, if you click on
2:41
your content management software, for my
2:43
case, I'll choose WordPress. You can see
2:46
these are my login details here. And if
2:49
I click on this drop-own arrow, I'll be
2:51
able to see other variations or options
2:55
for me to be able to manage my WordPress
2:57
and also the contents on my WordPress.
3:00
One of them, you can see I can choose to
3:02
update my WordPress version. I can also
3:04
choose to go ahead and set my plugins to
3:07
auto upgrade. By doing this, all my
3:10
plugins will automatically be updated.
3:13
Currently, you can see this has been
3:15
disabled. So to enable it, just choose
3:17
this option enable and then go ahead.
3:20
You can see information has been saved.
3:22
You don't have to do anything once you
3:24
have clicked on that. So that's how you
3:26
can go ahead and set your plugins to
3:29
automatically update. If this video is
