You can inspect installed plugins and update your website plugins directly from the Dashboard. Our platform collects plugin information for each website at regular intervals.

View plugin information

  • Navigate to your website's Overview screen.

  • Select your working environment Production or Staging.

  • Locate the Plugins section on the right-hand side. By default, the plugin list displays plugins that have an update available. To view a list of all plugins select "All" from the drop-down "Show" menu.

  • Each plugin is listed with the following details:

    • Name: The name of the plugin (e.g., Advanced Custom Fields, Akismet etc.).

    • Status: Indicates whether the plugin is Active or Disabled.

    • Update Link: Provides an option to update the plugin.

    • Changelog Link: Allows you to view the changelog for the plugin. This helps in understanding what changes or improvements have been made in the latest version and whether there are any breaking changes.

  • You can toggle the list view to display Active, Disabled or plugins with updates (Outdated), by selecting the respective option in the Show drop-down filter.

  • You can toggle the list view to display plugins with potential security issues by selecting the With Security Issues filter option.

Update a plugin

  • To update individual plugins click the "Update" link next to each plugin. A background job will start to update the plugin, and you will receive a Dashboard notification when the process is completed.

  • We automatically create an Instant Backup before the plugin update so that you can rollback to in case the update causes issues with your website.

Update all plugins

  • You can update all outdated plugins at once by clicking the Update all link. A background job will start to update all plugins with available updates, and you will receive a Dashboard notification when the process is completed.

  • We automatically create an Instant Backup before starting the bulk update so that you can rollback to in case the update(s) cause issues with your website.

Inspect plugins with potential security issues (vulnerabilities)

Our platform performs regular automated security scans to identify plugins with potential security issues. If such plugins are detected, a security alert is displayed at the top of the Plugins list to help you identify and prioritize plugin updates that need immediate attention due to vulnerabilities.

  • You can quickly inspect plugins with potential security issues by selecting With Security Issues from the drop-down "Show" menu.

  • We strongly recommend updating plugins with security issues as soon as possible to avoid the possibility of being exploited and keep your website safe.
