Website Maintenance

callcarol — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:39:59 +0000

From time to time you may want to update your WordPress installation to the latest version. You might want to do this because you’ve seen a message at the top of your Dashboard telling you that a new release is available, because you’ve been made aware of some useful new functionality, or because a security fix has been released.

Standard WordPress Website Maintenance

Regular updates of plugins, themes, and the WordPress installation are also necessary for effective WordPress website maintenance. These updates repair bugs and security vulnerabilities that have been discovered in the programs. It is best to update plugins and themes before updating the installation as compatibility issues may arise otherwise. It is extremely important to backup the entire site on a regular basis. The ideal backup system will be off the primary server.
