WordPress security updates are important to review to ensure your website's integrity. WordPress Management makes it easy to check the security status and update security alerts for one or all WordPress installations simultaneously.
The security settings are divided into two sections: WordPress Vulnerabilities and Security Measures. The vulnerability checkup covers WordPress core, plugins, and themes. You can manually scan for WordPress vulnerabilities, and if any are found, they are listed with detailed instructions to fix the issue. Non-critical security measures are listed with details about each measure, and this section also provides an easy way to fix any issue. WordPress Management automatically updates critical security measures. If any security measure makes your website work incorrectly, you can revert some of them back at any time.
Please note that you can also update security settings for a single website from the website installation card.
Important: It is recommended that your website is backed up before performing security updates. To manage your website's SSL, visit this help article.
