Update plugins (auto recommended)

  • What are your thoughts about auto update plugins for WordPress?
    I had some cases where the update crashed my site especially a theme update. So my idea is, do deactivate the auto update plugin and to wait several weeks with updating that bugfixes can be fixed and to have less problems.

    Thank you!

    Hi @photovoltaik1 On my production websites I do the following

    1. Switch WordPress Core to get only the security updates automatically and no major version upgrades.
    2. Disable Automatic Theme and Plugin Updates. Use a changelog monitoring tool like Visualping.io to monitor the plugin and theme changelogs to get notified when there is an update available. I normally update immediately if it’s a security update or else delay it for a few weeks until I test the updates locally on a staging environment before pushing the updates on the production site to make sure there are no sudden surprises. This has worked for me so far with very few incidents in a calendar year.

    Hope this helps.
