The client is unsure whether to update the WPML plugin directly or to stage the site and test the update first.

<br />If you\'re considering updating your WPML plugin and are currently using an older version, we recommend taking a backup of your site before proceeding with the update.

Prosenjit Barman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hi There, Thanks for contacting WPML Support. Based on the screenshot, it appears you are using an older version of the WPML Plugin. While updating to the latest version is generally safe, I recommend taking a backup of your site first, especially since you are upgrading from a significantly older version to a newer one. Each update comes with several adjustments and bug fixing, so, always keep the WPML plugin and its addons updated. Please let me know if you need further assistance in this matter. I will be happy to help. Best regards, Prosenjit
