Run plugin updates one at a time

Updates each plugin through WordPress's own updater after a preview, and checks the site between updates.

Manage the site

Cursor

Run the waiting plugin updates, carefully.

  • saddle-list-updates 3 updates waiting
  • saddle-update-plugin waiting for your OK
  • saddle-update-plugin 1 of 3 done
  • saddle-get-site-health still good

All 3 plugins are updated, and the site checked out after each one.

What you get

Each plugin updated through WordPress's own updater, with a check of the site between updates.

WordPress keeps a backup and puts back a plugin that breaks the site.

You provide

  • Any plugins to leave alone

The prompt

Run the plugin updates that are waiting on my site, one at a time.

First list them, with the version each one goes from and to. Leave out these: [plugins to skip].

For each update, show me the preview, wait for my yes, and run it. Then check that my home page still loads and that Site Health has no new critical problem. If anything looks wrong, stop and tell me before the next update.

At the end, list what was updated.
