UPDATING WORDPRESS – PLUGINS

  • what’s best practice for upgrading ? wordpress first or plugins? i tried plugins first which caused no problems. then updating wp caused a problem which forced me to revert to backup and now starting over

    current/backup wp = v 5.4.8
    desired wp = v5.8.2

    plugins that need updating…
    classic editor
    envira gallery
    the events calendar
    wpbakery

    A “normal” update (5.x to 5.x+1) really doesn’t matter. A bigger jump, like your 5.4 to 5.8 indicates that there will be a lot of changes. To be safe in that circumstance, I’d deactivate the plugins that need updating, update wp core, update the plugins, then re-activate them one at a time.
