Update workflow

1. Create a backup (database + files).
2. Check for available updates:

   wp core check-update
   wp plugin update --all --dry-run
   wp theme update --all --dry-run
   

3. Apply updates:

   wp core update
   wp plugin update --all
   wp theme update --all
   

4. Flush cache:

   wp cache flush
   wp rewrite flush
   

5. Verify site is working — check homepage, admin panel, key pages.

Troubleshooting common issues
