Running a WordPress site isn’t just a case of setting it up and forgetting about it – you need to make sure you keep the site updated and well maintained. Without regular updates you can quickly find that your site is no longer secure, your plugins aren’t working as you want them to or other similar problems arise.

Little and often is the best approach here. Keeping on top of the maintenance of your WordPress site is a small job if you keep an eye on things and don’t let things slide for too long, but can become a huge job if you wait until there are problems.
