WordPress benefits from a community of developers and security engineers who test every version of the software and properly report security fixes that need to take place. One of the main consequences of not updating your WordPress core to the latest version is making your site an easy target for hackers to exploit your website.

There are many reasons why you should always update your WordPress site software to its latest version. Yet, sometimes is hard to find time to do these important updates: plugins, themes, WordPress core…it can sound daunting. At CraftWP we can take care of all of this for you through our Monthly Maintenance Service. We can keep track of all the updates required, and schedule them for a particular time of the day that suits you. We can also send you a weekly report detailing the updates that took place that week so you can keep track of how things are going, all in one email.
