WordPress Auto-Updates Can Break Your Website

WordPress 5.5 is now available. While it includes some great features, the new auto-update (for plugins or themes) feature might work against you. Running on the latest code may sound like a great idea. However, plugin developers don’t always keep up with WordPress updates – especially those plugins that are free to use. Therefore, upgrading your WordPress installation to 5.5 and allowing automatic future updates could break plugins (or the theme) on which your website relies to function.

Rather than relying on software to update your website, consider CourseVector’s Managed Hosting option. A technician takes care of updates and backups. If something breaks due to an update, the technician will fix it free of charge! Learn more about this stress free Managed WordPress Hosting option.
