WordPress updates cover the core software, themes and plugins, and they arrive frequently because they fix security holes, bugs and compatibility issues. Skipping them is the most common reason WordPress sites get hacked, yet installing them blindly can break layouts, forms or online store checkouts. The safe approach is a regular schedule, backups before every update, testing where possible and quick checks of key pages afterwards. Internet Solutions keeps the WordPress websites we host running, secure and up to date as part of the hosting service. Regular backups are made from the day a site goes live, so an update that goes wrong can be rolled back. Because we build custom themes ourselves, we can also fix compatibility problems in the theme code rather than waiting for a third party. Server administration keeps the underlying software current too.
