How safe, or not, are updates of components in use on site?

[ad_1]

I have 2 sites active, WordPress, and there are five or six updates to things running on the site. I read the faq here, “Updates: Stay up to date with all plugins and core software at all times if you don’t want to have security holes and get hacked.”, but scared of blowup.. I guess I should take one at a time and see?

  1. If you are using popular, well known, well supported themes and plugins, you should not have any problems. Problems arise when you use plugins that only have a small number of users or those which don’t receive updates for long periods.

    If you haven’t run an update for > 6 months, you might have issues, so it’s best to test on a staging site.
