A Simple WordPress Update Routine

Make updates predictable with backups and a short test plan.

Before a major update, check compatibility information and create a backup. Update in a planned window, then test the homepage, key forms, and important account flows.

Remove themes and plugins you no longer use. A short routine is easier to maintain than waiting until many changes accumulate.
