There are many tutorials on the web that teach you how to upgrade your WordPress theme automatically but not Manually. Today I am going to show you how to upgrade WordPress manually. After this tutorial you will never upgrade automatic again.

Step 1

Log into your WordPress admin panel and look for Tools>Export (We’re backing up our database just in case something goes wrong)

Step 2

Download export file

Step 3

Browse for a yellow highlight at the very top of your admin panel and click please update now.

Step 4

We do not want to upgrade automatically so download the new WordPress upgrade folder.

Step 5

Extract Folder from .rar or .zip

Step 6

Open your FTP (file transfer protocol) and go to your main directory (where WordPress files are)

Step 7

Now we will delete everything except for wp-config, .htcacess and the folder wp-content

Note: Before we add the new folders into our directory delete wp-config, and wp-content

Step 8

Now lets add our new files into our directory.

Step 9

Ok now head back into your WordPress admin panel and refresh the page and you should see the following message.

Congratulations! You have upgraded your WordPress version without using automatic update. I hope this tutorial helped.
