 * Hi,
 * The problem I’m having is my plugins; they are not updating. How do I set it 
   so that they update even before a backup? I have it set to only backup once a
   week, so the plugins aren’t being updated. I received a message from my host 
   provider of indications of my website being compromised because of this. Do I
   just disable the option “Auto Backup Before Update”? Thank you for your help.

 * Hi [@logosbyls](https://wordpress.org/support/users/logosbyls/), thanks for reaching
   out although I’m sorry to hear you’re having a bit of trouble updating plugin
   before updates.
 * I think disabling the **Auto Backup Before Update** option will only resolve 
   half of your issue. What you might want to do is visit the “Plugins” dashboard
   of your WordPress website and tick the option to “Enable Auto Updates” on each
   plugin.
 * With this option selected WordPress will attempt to update your plugin(s) whenever
   an update is available.
 * I hope this helps! Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can answer
   for you.
