Updating Craft CMS & Plugins

I like to do updates to Craft and plu­g­ins using Com­pos­er. You can use Craft’s updater but I sug­gest you don’t mix the two.

ddev exec composer update

Once the update is com­plete, we need to run all pend­ing migra­tions so our data­base is up-to-date with the lat­est from Craft and any plu­g­ins requir­ing migrations.

ddev exec php craft migrate/all
