Update Your WordPress Core (When Available)

If an update is available:

1. A button labelled “Update To Latest” will appear below the version comparison.

2. Clicking this will initiate the core update process.

3. Varsuite Core performs this safely via your site’s secure connection and automatically verifies the update was successful.

Reminder: It is strongly advised to take a full backup before performing any core update. Varsuite Core will prompt you to configure backups if they haven’t been set up yet.
