Updating WordPress and Joomla via Installatron
Was your website installed with Installatron? Then you can update WordPress or Joomla there in just a few clicks. It's even easier in the Website Manager in My WebOké: read The Website Manager.
- Log in to DirectAdmin and, under Extra Features, open Installatron Applications Installer.
- Go to My Applications. If a new version is available for a website, you'll see it next to the version.
- Click the button with the three lines ≡ next to the website and choose Update.
- Let Installatron make a backup first (this is enabled by default) and start the update.
Installatron can also run updates automatically. Click Edit next to your website, then Settings and Auto-Update on the left. By default, minor updates and security updates are installed automatically. We recommend keeping it that way. Also leave Automatic Update Rollback enabled: if an update fails, Installatron restores the backup.
