Upgrades
Why are upgrades needed?
For all software systems that are living projects and thus actively maintained, new versions will come out over time. WordPress is no exception. It is important that you continuously upgrade your WordPress so that the system can take part in new functionality and security patches.
Upgrade by yourself or automatically
For many, it is possible to upgrade yourself when a new version has been released by logging into the admin interface and clicking through to upgrade WordPress, theme and plugins. But then you have to remember to always upgrade regularly! There are also solutions that automatically upgrade WordPress. Such solutions can work if you have a WordPress with a default theme, few plugins and without special customizations.
How can Liberdev help you with upgrades?
If you have a more tailored system, there is always the risk that something important will stop working during an upgrade.
The advantage of letting Liberdev continuously upgrade your WordPress is that we not only upgrade the system, we also perform tests of the most important features to see that everything still works as it should.
We always upgrade the system first on a staging site so that we can detect any errors before performing the upgrade in a production environment.
If problems arise, you as a customer do not have to discover it when the site is in production. Our team then investigates possible solutions. In case of faults that take less than an hour to solve, we will fix them immediately and inform you. In the case of major problems, we make an estimate for a solution and give you a proposal for a price to solve the problem.
In the case of agreements for ongoing upgrades, we prefer that you move your WordPress to our hosting as it makes the whole process much smoother, but we are also open to discussing other solutions.
