Don’t Drop the Ball (WP Updates)

“In my years of developing and managing WordPress sites I’ve discovered that many end users don’t keep their sites as updated as they should. This usually stems from not being sure how things work and/or the fear of breaking things.

My talk will focus on the real-world management task of plugin and WP core updates: what WP does automatically and what you have to do yourself; how the update system notifies you; deciphering update version numbers and descriptions; how to do the actual update.”

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand plugin and WP version numbers.
  • Learn how to keep WP up-to-date.
  • Learn how to keep plugins up-to-date.
