Updating WordPress plugins is crucial to keep your website running smoothly and securely. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, developers release updates to their plugins to patch security vulnerabilities, fix bugs, and add new features. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While WordPress offers automatic updates for many plugins, you might sometimes need to update them manually. This could be due to various reasons, such as if you&#8217;re working in a controlled environment where automatic updates aren&#8217;t ideal, or if a specific update needs to be reviewed before deployment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this detailed guide, you will learn how to manually update WordPress plugin and keep up with the new features.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why you should update plugins<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few core reasons lie behind keeping your WordPress plugins updated. Let\u2019s discuss those before we jump ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Security<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Updates often address vulnerabilities. Failing to update can make your website exposed to attackers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Features<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Updates can add new features and enhancements, keeping your site current and functional.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Compatibility<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: WordPress is constantly evolving. Updates ensure plugins work with the latest version of WordPress.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Performance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Updated plugins can improve speed and efficiency, making your site run smoothly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, an outdated plugin can be a security risk, cause conflicts with other plugins or themes and even lead to poor website performance, which can negatively impact user experience and SEO. Regularly checking for updates and applying them is a smart maintenance practice that benefits both you as a website manager and the visitor as a website consumer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing for a manual plugin update<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you begin learning how to manually update WordPress plugins and get into the process, it&#8217;s important to verify the compatibility of the new plugin version and ensure that you have a recent backup of your website. These two steps keep against any potential issues that could affect your site&#8217;s performance and security.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verify compatibility<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, check the changelog of the plugin for the latest version compatibility information. This is usually found on the plugin&#8217;s page in the WordPress Plugin Directory or the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">readme.txt<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> file included with the plugin. Ensure that the new version is compatible with your current version of WordPress and other installed plugins. Incompatibilities could lead to performance issues or even security vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a backup<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before updating, create a full backup of your website. This includes your database, WordPress files, plugins, themes, and uploads. There are several plugins like UpdraftPlus that can assist you with this process directly from your WordPress dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"black\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to your WordPress dashboard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navigate to the plugins section and select <\/span><b>Add New<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search for UpdraftPlus, install, and activate it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once activated, go to the UpdraftPlus settings and choose the <\/span><b>Backup Now<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> option.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Backup website vie a plugin\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36544 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/1-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/1-1-742x416.jpg 742w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/1-1-1484x835.jpg 1484w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/1-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/1-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/1-1-371x208.jpg 371w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/1-1-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a 10Web user, you can easily create a website backup by visiting your 10Web dashboard &gt; <\/span><b>Backups<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the left-hand side &gt; <\/span><b>backup now<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Backup website through 10Web dashboard\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36545 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/2-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/2-1-742x416.jpg 742w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/2-1-1484x835.jpg 1484w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/2-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/2-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/2-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/2-1-371x208.jpg 371w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/2-1-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to manually update WordPress plugins via SFTP or FTP<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When updating WordPress plugins manually, using SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) or FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a reliable method. Before you start, ensure you have an FTP client like FileZilla and your FTP credentials, which you can get from your hosting provider\u2019s dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Backup your site <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always create a backup of your website. Should anything go wrong during the update, you&#8217;ll have a restore point. Above we learned two methods for creating a backup.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Download the latest plugin version<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download the latest version of the plugin from the WordPress repository or the plugin vendor&#8217;s site. This will be a zip file.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Access your site via FTP<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open your FTP client and connect to your server using the credentials provided by your hosting service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: Go to the plugins directory<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within the FTP client, go to the following path: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yourwebsite.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Here you will find all your installed plugins.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: Delete the old plugin folder<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locate the folder of the plugin you wish to update and delete it. Do not worry; your settings are saved in the database, not the plugin folder.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 6: Upload the new plugin<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extract the plugin zip file on your computer. Upload the extracted folder to the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wp-content\/plugins\/<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> directory on your server.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 7: Verify the update<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Log in to your WordPress dashboard and go to the <\/span><b>Plugins<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> section to check if the plugin is updated and functioning correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After completing all these steps, verify that your website is operating as expected after the update. If issues arise, restore your site from the backup or consult a professional.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to manually update WordPress plugins via WP-CLI<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s discuss the steps for manually updating WordPress plugin using WP-CLI, you should have WP-CLI installed on your server and be comfortable using a command-line interface. Begin by connecting to your server using SSH.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Check for update availability<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before updating, check if updates are available for your plugins:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wp plugin list --update=available<\/span><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This command displays a list of plugins that have updates available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Update a specific plugin<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To update a specific plugin, use the following command and replace <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plugin-slug<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the actual slug of the plugin:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wp plugin update plugin-slug<\/span><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you want to update a plugin with the slug <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hello-dolly<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the command would be:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wp plugin update hello-dolly<\/span><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;d like to update all the plugins that have available updates, use this command:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wp plugin update --all<\/span><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also exclude certain plugins from being updated in the bulk process, for this purpose use the following command:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wp plugin update --all --exclude=plugin-slug1,plugin-slug2<\/span><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plugin-slug1,plugin-slug2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the slugs of the plugins you wish to exclude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more controlled updates, you can limit the update process to minor or patch releases using these flags:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minor releases: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;minor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patch releases: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;patch<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An example for updating all plugins to only minor releases:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wp plugin update --all --minor<\/span><\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This helps to reduce the risk of compatibility issues with major updates. After running the update command, WP-CLI will execute the process and display the outcome. Make sure to test your website after the updates to ensure everything is functioning properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\r\n<style>\r\n  #ctablocks_inline_92{\r\n          background-color: #000000;\r\n        color: #ffffff;\r\n    border-radius: 6px;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  #ctablocks_inline_92 p{\r\n    color: #ffffff;\r\n  }\r\n  #ctablocks_inline_92 .button{\r\n        background-color: rgb(51,57,241);\r\n      color: #ffffff;\r\n    border-color: #3339f1 !important;\r\n  }\r\n  #ctablocks_inline_92 .button:hover{\r\n    background: rgba(51,57,241,0.8);\r\n    color: #ffffff;\r\n    opacity: 1;\r\n  }\r\n        #ctablocks_inline_92 .ctablocks_content_info p {\r\n        padding-left: 36px;\r\n      }\r\n      #ctablocks_inline_92 .ctablocks_content_button {\r\n          margin-left: 37px;\r\n      }\r\n  @media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1260px) {\r\n      #ctablocks_inline_92 .ctablocks_content_button {\r\n          margin-left: 37px !important;\r\n      }\r\n  }\r\n  ;\r\n<\/style>\r\n<div id=\"ctablocks_inline_92\" class=\"ctablocks_container inline_type\r\n        \">\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ctablocks_content clear\">\r\n    <div class=\"ctablocks_content_info\">\r\n      \r\n            <div class=\"title-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t                  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/info-icon-cta.png\" alt=\"Simplify WordPress with 10Web\" title=\"Simplify WordPress with 10Web\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t            <h4>Simplify WordPress with 10Web<\/h4>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n              <p>Automate manual work with 10Web Managed WordPress Hosting and 10Web AI Website Builder.

Reactivating is crucial as it often triggers any new scripts or database updates that the plugin may require to function properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test plugin functionality<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the plugin activated, it&#8217;s time to thoroughly test all functionalities. Ensure that features such as contact forms, custom post types, or widgets are functioning as expected. Check also for compatibility with other plugins and themes. If you encounter issues, you may need to roll back to a previous version using a WP Rollback plugin, or enter troubleshooting mode:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"black\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verify that the plugin&#8217;s settings were retained or update them accordingly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test the plugin on different browsers and devices to confirm performance and compatibility.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you notice any errors, contact the plugin developer or consult support forums for assistance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding plugin updates<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have learned how to manually update WordPress plugin using three main methods. It\u2019s also worth understanding plugin updates and the update types.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify update triggers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An update for a plugin becomes available when the developers have made improvement changes, fixed bugs, or patched security vulnerabilities. You can identify that an update is needed when you see a notification within your WordPress dashboard, often on the Plugins page. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These updates sometimes include important changes to <\/span><b>PHP requirements<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>version details<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and other compatibility information. Always review the <\/span><b>changelog<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provided by the developers to understand what the update entails.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Notifications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Look for update alerts in your WordPress dashboard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Changelog<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Always check the changelog for information on what the update includes.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Plugins update notifications\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36548 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/5-742x416.jpg 742w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/5-1484x835.jpg 1484w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/5-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/5-371x208.jpg 371w, https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/5-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatic updates vs manual updates<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress offers the convenience of automatic updates for plugins, which can be enabled or disabled per plugin. This feature is especially useful for critical security patches. However, some updates might require your supervision, especially if there are compatibility issues or significant changes to the plugins&#8217; features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For manual updates, you will have to download the updated plugin as a .zip file from the WordPress Plugin Directory or a trusted third-party source. Other steps of manual plugin updates were discussed above for each method. Opposite to automatic updates, manual updates give you control over when and how an update is applied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatic updates, in their turn, can be toggled from the plugin settings right from the WordPress dashboard by going to the <\/span><b>Plugins <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">section and selecting <\/span><b>Enable auto-updates <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for the plugins you want to update automatically.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Updating your WordPress plugins manually allows you to control the update process, which can significantly reduce risks associated with automatic updates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three major methods to update plugins manually are via the WordPress dashboard, using an FTP client, or utilizing WP-CLI. Each method caters to different skill levels and preferences. For beginners, the dashboard approach is most accessible, while advanced users may prefer the control and efficiency of WP-CLI or FTP. In this guide, we discussed how to manually update WordPress plugin via each of the three methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of your chosen method, always verify that the plugin is functioning correctly post-update by visiting your website and performing a spot check on the updated plugin&#8217;s features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\r\n<style>\r\n  #ctablocks_scrollbox-with-icon_91{\r\n            color: #ffffff;\r\n    border-radius: 6px;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  #ctablocks_scrollbox-with-icon_91 p{\r\n    color: #ffffff;\r\n  }\r\n  #ctablocks_scrollbox-with-icon_91 .button{\r\n          background-color: rgb(51,57,241);\r\n        color: #ffffff;\r\n    border-color: #3339f1 !important;\r\n  }\r\n  #ctablocks_scrollbox-with-icon_91 .button:hover{\r\n    background: rgba(51,57,241,0.8);\r\n    color: #ffffff;\r\n    opacity: 1;\r\n  }\r\n  #ctablocks_scrollbox-with-icon_91.ctablocks_container {\r\n    left: 100%;\r\n  }\r\n  @media screen and (max-width: 1300px) {\r\n      #ctablocks_scrollbox-with-icon_91.ctablocks_container {\r\n          left: 0;\r\n          margin: 0 auto;\r\n      }\r\n  }\r\n  #ctablocks_scrollbox-with-icon_91 .ctablocks_content {\r\n      background-color: #000000;\r\n  }\r\n<\/style>\r\n<div id=\"ctablocks_scrollbox-with-icon_91\" class=\"ctablocks_container scrollbox-with-icon_type\r\n      \">\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ctablocks_content clear\">\r\n    <div class=\"ctablocks_content_info\">\r\n              <h4>Simplify WordPress with 10Web<\/h4>\r\n        <h4 class=\"mobile-title\">Simplify WordPress with 10Web<\/h4>\r\n              <p>Skip and automate manual work with 10Web Managed WordPress Hosting and the 10Web AI Website Builder.<\/p>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"ctablocks_content_button\">\r\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/ai-website-builder\/\" class=\"button\" data-gtag=\"sign-up-blog\" data-buttontype=\"sign-up\" data-gtag=\"cta-91\" data-buttontype=\"cta-scrollbox-with-icon\"\r\n\t        >Learn How<\/a>\r\n            \r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n    <span class=\"close_ctablocks\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"close-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/cta-blocks\/assets\/images\/close_w.svg\" class=\"close\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"floating-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Info-icon_Blog.png\" alt=\"Simplify WordPress with 10Web\" title=\"Simplify WordPress with 10Web\">\r\n<!--      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"arrow-icon white\" src=\"\/cta-blocks\/assets\/images\/arrow-icon.svg\" class=\"close\">\r\n-->      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"arrow-icon purple\" src=\"https:\/\/10web.io\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/cta-blocks\/assets\/images\/arrow-icon-purple.svg\" class=\"close\">\r\n  <\/span>\r\n<\/div>\r\n <\/span><br \/>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plugins extend the functionality of WordPress, allowing you to add new features and improve your site\u2019s performance.
