Everything on this page lives on your site’s WordPress tab in the panel.

​
Updating WordPress core

Click Update WordPress core and we queue the update for you: WordPress is updated, the database schema is migrated, and core file checksums are verified afterwards.
A fresh safety backup is always taken first. If you’re at your backup limit, the panel asks you to delete an old restore point— or to continue deliberately without one. See Backups.

​
Automatic minor and security updates

Automatic

Minor and security releases (5.9.1 → 5.9.2), checked daily, backed up first.

Manual

Major core versions, plugins, and themes— you decide when.
New sites have automatic minor/security updates switched on. You can turn them off at any time from the WordPress tab; existing sites keep whatever setting they already had. There’s a second, separate choice for what happens when your backup slots are full:
  • Off (default)— the update is held and we email you. Nothing changes until you free a slot.
  • On— minor and security updates proceed even without a fresh backup, so you’re never left on an unpatched version.
Plugin and theme updates stay in your hands because they’re where compatibility breaks. Take a restore point first, then update them from inside WordPress as usual.

​
PHP runtime settings

The Runtime settings card exposes the three PHP limits people actually need: Saving restarts WordPress, so expect a few seconds of downtime.
PHP memory choices are capped by your plan’s memory allocation— the panel only offers values your site can actually honour. Need more headroom? Add capacity or move up a plan from the Add-ons tab.

​
Plugins and themes

The WordPress tab lists every plugin and theme installed on your site, with its version and status, so you can audit a site without logging in to WordPress. Installing, activating, and updating them happens inside WordPress itself.
