Upgrading from 3.5.x and plugins: One-click or manual?

    I need to upgrade WP and all installed plugins (about 12 of them) from 3.5.x to the latest version 3.9.1. I had a look at this document: http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress.

    1. I was just wondering how I should go about upgrading the live site. Should I first do the upgrade in the local or staging version?
    2. How reliable is one-click upgrade? Or should I first try one-click upgrade in my local copy?
    3. What do I do if some of the plugins are not supported by the latest version?
    4. How do I check if the core files have been modified? The website was initially created by another developer.

    As you have such an old version of WordPress, you will need to carry out a series of smaller manual upgrades. See Upgrading_WordPress_Extended for the full details.

    If I first upgrade my installed version in localhost, is there a way to easily replicate it in the production? or do I have to repeat the steps manually in the live site?

    If you follow the steps @esmi said and successfully get your theme running on 3.9.1 you should be fine. Just install WordPress 3.9.1 on your production server 🙂
