How do I update all plugins at once in WordPress?

Asked on Sep 21, 2025

Answer

To update all plugins at once in WordPress, you can use the Bulk Actions feature in the Plugins section of the dashboard. This allows you to select multiple plugins and update them simultaneously.
  1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Navigate to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
  3. Check the box at the top of the plugin list to select all plugins.
  4. From the "Bulk Actions" dropdown menu, select "Update" and click "Apply."
  5. WordPress will update all selected plugins automatically.
Additional Comment:
  • Ensure you have a recent backup of your site before performing bulk updates.
  • Check plugin compatibility with your current WordPress version to avoid issues.
  • Consider using a staging environment to test updates before applying them to your live site.
