wp-elements-9f9dcc2c842a8fc150c05a3954a38116\"><strong>Check licensing and availability:<\/strong> Some premium plugins and themes may require an active license or a vendor-provided update mechanism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ea7b9a2f4165dbd87f22cba670460b9d\"><strong>Avoid unnecessary changes:<\/strong> Do not update WordPress

How do I check for WordPress plugin updates in Plesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Log in to Plesk, navigate to <strong>Websites &amp; Domains<\/strong>, open the required WordPress installation in <strong>WordPress Toolkit<\/strong>, and select the available update-checking option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Can I update only selected WordPress plugins?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Where the WordPress Toolkit interface supports individual selection, you can select the required plugins and apply updates only to those components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Can I update WordPress themes through Plesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. WordPress Toolkit can display and manage available theme updates for supported installations. Select the required theme and use the available update action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Do I need to back up the website before updating plugins or themes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. A recent backup of the website files and database is strongly recommended, particularly for production websites. It provides a recovery option if an update causes compatibility or functionality issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. What should I do if a plugin update fails?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Review the error message in WordPress Toolkit and check the relevant Plesk, PHP, or WordPress logs. Verify file permissions, available disk space, and plugin compatibility before retrying. Restore from a backup if the update causes a significant issue and recovery is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Why are plugin or theme updates not displayed in Plesk?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Possible reasons include no updates being available, an outdated update check, an inactive premium license, connectivity issues, or the installation not being correctly detected by WordPress Toolkit. Run another update check and investigate the relevant configuration if the issue persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Will updating a plugin or theme affect the website?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It can. Updates may introduce compatibility issues or changes in functionality. Back up the website before updating and test important features after the update, especially on production websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Can I update all WordPress plugins and themes at once?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The available options depend on the WordPress Toolkit version and interface. Although bulk updates may be supported, review the updates and compatibility warnings first. For production websites, updating in controlled groups can make troubleshooting easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/knowledge-base\/2026\/09\/18\/how-to-add-a-user-in-plesk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Add a User in Plesk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pheonixsolutions.com\/knowledge-base\/2026\/09\/21\/how-to-create-a-user-role-in-plesk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Create a User Role in Plesk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk to Our Technology Experts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Need assistance with WordPress updates, Plesk configuration, or website maintenance?
