How to update Enwikuna Helper

Overview

Updates of Enwikuna Helper, WordPress and other plugins are part of a secure operation of a WordPress site. Our development team works hard every day to release updates that add new features, fix issues, improve security, and generally make your user experience better than ever. But how can you update Enwikuna Helper without causing problems? Below, we’ll go over some common options.


Preparation

Please make sure you backup your WordPress site before each update. The backup should include the wp-content folder, as well as the database of your WordPress site. This ensures that your WordPress site can be recovered after a failed update.

Generally we test every update before we release it, however there may be some specifics on some WordPress sites that may interrupt or affect the update.

The easiest way to update Enwikuna Helper is from the Updates page in the admin dashboard of your WordPress site. Alternatively, you can download the latest version here and update it via the Plugins page in the admin dashboard or by uploading the unzipped installation file to the WordPress plugins folder via FTP.


Update via admin dashboard

Learn how to update Enwikuna Helper via the admin dashboard. Unlike the installation of Enwikuna Helper, there are two different ways to perform the update.


Option 1: Updates page

Probably the easiest way to update Enwikuna Helper is by using the Updates page in the admin dashboard.

Step 1: Log in to your WordPress site and open the admin dashboard. Go to Dashboard > Updates. You will now see a list of existing updates of your plugins including WordPress updates. If no updates are visible, you can clear the update cache by clicking the Check again button, which will ideally show new updates, since the cache only clears automatically once a day. This avoids excessive requests to our backend, which provides the updates.
