Auto-updating Joomla can save time and ensure that your website is always running the latest version. Here are the steps to auto-update Joomla:

Enable Joomla's automatic update feature: Joomla has an automatic update feature that you can enable to automatically update your site to the latest version. To enable this feature, go to the Joomla control panel and click on "System" > "Global Configuration". Under the "Update" tab, set "Joomla! Update" to "Enabled".
-
Set the update server: Once you have enabled the automatic update feature, you need to set the update server. Go to the "Update Server" tab and select the appropriate update server based on your Joomla version.
-
Configure the update settings: You can configure the update settings by going to the "Options" tab. Here, you can set the update frequency, email notifications, and other update-related settings.
-
Test the update process: Before setting up automatic updates, you should test the update process to ensure that it works correctly. Go to the Joomla control panel and click on "Components" > "Joomla! Update". Click on the "Find Updates" button to check if any updates are available. If an update is available, click on the "Install the Update" button to install the update.
-
Schedule the update: Once you have tested the update process, you can schedule the updates. Go to the "Auto Update" tab and set the update frequency and time when you want the updates to be installed.
