Many WordPress platform site owners are learning the hard way about being ignorant to web site ownership.
If you get a site from someone you need key things to make sure your site doesn’t deteriorate.
- Regular backup on the server your site was moved to. For some solutions your site will be back up in seconds and working like it used to.
- Set WordPress “core” to update automatically so security vulnerabilities get addressed
- Get WordPress security that is more extensive. Wordfence is a great solution if you know how to set it up and respond if something happens.
- Get plugin updater that updates plugins regularly but checks for conflicts before it updates
These 4 things will protect your investment and not have your site down and paying $$$$ to get it restored.
If you have a DIY WordPress site and don’t have a backup solution and update system and its been a month your site may be at risk
