Need for Update?

  • Hi
    I am a new user to WordPress.
    My website is running since 2 years. 2 month ago the access was dead.
    Via my host i have loaded the newest version with prior deactivating the plugins.
    Now is all ok.
    My question: Is the upgrading a “must”?
    Can I dont freeze the running version with the plugins for a longer time?

    Thanks
    Ed

  • Hi Ed, while there isn’t a specific requirement to update your version of WordPress and plugins, it’s highly recommended to do so regularly. Over time security vulnerabilities can be discovered and if you are using an older version of WordPress, there’s a higher likelihood your site is insecure.

    At the very least, be sure to apply security patches if you don’t intend on updating the major WordPress version frequently and keep your plugins up to date.

    A suggestion would be to keep the version and plugins updated but first do so on a staging or local environment to ensure there won’t be any issues when doing so on a live site.
