# Plugins Don't Automatically Update

 * Hello. I’m sorry if this is a stupid question.
    My site was hacked several weeks
   ago. I had to change servers and reinstall wordpress and all the plugins.
 * Recently my plugins all disappeared. I had older versions saved on my computer
   so manually re-uploaded them via FTP.
 * My problem is, I can’t just automatically update the plugins from wordpress. 
   It says that it is starting the update but then I just get the spinning wheel
   and nothing happens.
 * Can someone please tell me how I can fix this? Also, I want to update to the 
   latest version of wordpress but am afraid the wjole thing will freeze like it
   does for the plugins. Are they two different things?
 * Thanks!
    Best, Kristen
