WordPress stays useful when you treat updates as operations, not as optional. If the site is already broken, start with website rescue. Recurring work: website maintenance.
Do this monthly
- Update core, theme and plugins on staging first when you can
- Remove plugins you cannot explain
- Confirm a backup restores, not only that a file exists
- Submit a test enquiry on the live form
Build work belongs on WordPress development, not on a care plan. Choose a website care plan.
