If you didn't need to make any changes to the local site and everything seemed fine, you can update your live site to the latest WordPress version.



A staging site is a separate development version of your website where you can try out new features.

It is usually a subdomain of your website that is not accessible to the public. It is where you can test new updates, themes and plugins or use it for all your development. Once you have tested everything necessary, you can upload it to your live site.

Most top WordPress hosting companies offer 1-click installation of staging sites through your hosting account.

If your website is hosted on Bluehost , you will find an option to create a staging site in the Bluehost menu in your WordPress admin dashboard.

Step 3: Install the Classic Editor plugin if there are compatibility issues
There is a possibility that a theme or plugin stopped working after updating WordPress.

Contact the developer of the theme or plugin and ask them to make it compatible with the latest WordPress version.

If you don't get a positive response, you will need to find an alternative theme or plugin to replace the incompatible ones.

Alternatively, you can simply disable Gutenberg by installing the Classic Editor plugin on your WordPress site. This way, you can safely upgrade WordPress while still keeping the classic editor you're familiar with.
