Even if you never update the content, a WordPress site is a living, ever-evolving entity. Unlike html sites, you can’t simply create it and forget it. We will discuss and share best practices to maintain your WordPress site. Because the online environment is constantly growing and changing, just like a kid who keeps out-growing her shoes, you need to be a good website owner (or parent) and stay up-to-date with the constant evolution. No matter where you host your WordPress site, plugins must be updated on a regular basis. And especially if you use shared hosting, it is crucial to update WordPress, too. Not sure if you are on shared hosting? Almost anything less than $20/month is shared hosting. And like a family member who comes home with the flu and infects others—no matter the size or popularity of your website, when you don’t maintain your site, you are a potential security risk. The risk is not just for your site getting hacked, but for everyone on your shared host server. So be a good neighbor, come learn and share. We’ll have a presentation and time to share your best tips and tricks to can create a better WordPress environment for all.
