WordPress Maintenance - Frequently Asked Questions
WordPress core, themes and plugins are updated frequently to fix bugs and security vulnerabilities. Left unpatched, an outdated WordPress site becomes an easier target for hackers and can break as browsers and PHP versions move on.
They can, which is why updates should be tested on a staging copy before going live on the real site. If something does break, having a recent backup means it can be rolled back quickly.
Security updates should be applied as soon as they're available. Plugin and theme updates are usually best done monthly, tested first, so nothing is left exposed for long.
A recent backup and a malware scan are the first line of defence. The site can usually be restored to a clean version and the weakness that let the attack through patched. If your site has already been hacked and isn't on a plan, our hacked WordPress repair service can clean it up and secure it.
Yes. Most of the WordPress sites we look after were built by someone else. We start with a free health check, fix anything urgent, then keep it updated every month.
WordPress and its plugins rely on PHP, and older versions can have security vulnerabilities and compatibility issues. Keeping PHP up to date ensures your site runs smoothly and is secure from hackers.
Updating PHP usually involves logging into your hosting control panel and selecting the latest supported version. Some hosts offer one-click updates through Plesk or Cpanel, while others may require contacting support. Always back up your site before changing the PHP version to avoid compatibility issues with plugins and WordPress core itself.
