I’ve got several wordpress sites and they have all automatically updated (example: to wordpress version 4.8.2) without any problems (such as breaking plugins and whatnot). I think I’ve been lucky and want to implement a backup plan and manually perform the release updates in a controlled manner VS occurring automatically.
Does this make sense? Am I being over-paranoid? How do other people handle release updates? Can I signup to receive email notifications of these releases?
Thank you.
