Keeping the 10Web Booster plugin up to date is essential to ensure your website runs smoothly with the latest performance enhancements, bug fixes, and compatibility improvements. Whether you manage your site directly through WordPress or host it with 10Web, regular updates are mandatory.
Updating the Booster plugin from WordPress dashboard
- Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
- From the left sidebar, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
- Find 10Web Booster in the list of installed plugins.
- If an update is available, you’ll see a link that says Update now below the plugin name.
- Click Update now and wait for the process to finish.
- Once the update is complete, visit the frontend of your website to ensure that everything is working as expected. Check if speed optimization and caching features are still active.
Note:
If your website is hosted on 10Web, you can also update the plugin directly from the 10Web Dashboard. Additionally, you can schedule automatic plugin updates for convenience and hands-off maintenance. For more details please check this article.
What to do if the update fails
In some cases, the update might not go through. Below are common reasons and how to fix them.
Rest API route is blocked
WordPress relies on the Rest API for update actions. If blocked, the update could fail.
WordPress relies on the REST API to process updates and perform background actions. If it’s blocked, the update will likely fail.
- Go to Tools > Site Health in your WordPress Dashboard.
- Check the Status tab for REST API-related issues.
- If there’s a warning or error, it may be caused by:
- Security plugins
- Server firewall or CDN rules (such as Cloudflare)
- Temporarily disable those plugins or settings and try the update again.
Refer to our guide on troubleshooting this in this article in the “Rest API is blocked” section.
File permission issue
Incorrect file or folder permissions on your server can prevent WordPress from modifying plugin files.
Ensure the correct permissions are set:
- 755 for directories
- 644 for files
If unsure how to modify permissions, contact our support for assistance.
Fatal errors from Booster or other plugins
Conflicts with other plugins or PHP errors can interrupt the update process. Check your website’s error logs to identify the cause:
- If hosted with 10Web, you can access logs directly from your 10Web Dashboard > Manage > Hosting services > Logs.
- On other hosting platforms, please contact your hosting support for assistance.
- If the error comes from 10Web Booster, please contact our support team with the full error message or log.
- If it’s caused by another plugin or theme, try deactivating it temporarily and rerunning the update.
Note:
If the update fails from 10Web dashboard, please refer to the article Troubleshooting Failed Actions in 10Web Dashboard for guidance.
