This article will explain how you can set up the Smart Updates feature in WordPress Toolkit.
This automatically tests updates for themes, plugins, and WordPress without causing any risks to your live website.
The Smart Update feature will clone the website, run all the updates automatically on the clone, it then runs checks against the updated website to see if the updates will cause any issues.
The data is then made available in the WordPress Toolkit which provides before-and-after screenshots.
Step 1 (a) - Logging into cPanel directly
You can log in directly to your cPanel account by using your domain name followed by /cPanel in the URL.

Step 1 (b) - Logging into cPanel via the Client Portal
