WordPress Update Required for Services

Why We Require Your WordPress Site to Be Fully Updated Before We Work on It

At Acme Solutions, we are committed to providing reliable and secure website services for our clients. To ensure the best outcomes and protect both your website and our reputation, we have a strict policy: we cannot begin work on any WordPress site unless the site, plugins, and themes are fully updated.


Here’s why this policy is essential:

Preventing Confusion About Responsibility

WordPress sites are dynamic systems, and updates frequently address bugs, security vulnerabilities, and compatibility issues. If your site isn’t up to date, unexpected problems may occur. For instance:

  • A plugin may auto-update and cause errors with other out of date resources.
  • An outdated plugin could create a security vulnerability, allowing hackers to gain access to your site.


These scenarios can arise independently of our work but might be mistakenly attributed to our actions. By ensuring all updates are installed beforehand, we minimize risks and maintain clarity around responsibilities.

2. Protecting Your Website's Security

Updates often contain critical security patches. Starting work on a site that isn’t updated could expose it to known vulnerabilities, putting your business and customers at risk. Ensuring your site is up to date allows us to operate in a secure environment.

3. Guaranteeing Compatibility

Older versions of WordPress, themes, or plugins might not work well with modern tools or techniques. By updating everything first, we ensure we’re working in a compatible and stable environment, which improves the quality of our service.


If Your Site Isn't Updated

If your site isn’t fully updated when work is requested, Acme Solutions will first perform a full backup of your site, update WordPress, plugins, and themes, and ensure the site is stable. This process ensures a secure and compatible environment for our work. Please note: the time spent performing these updates will be billable.

What You Can Do

To avoid additional costs and delays, we recommend taking the following steps before requesting our assistance:

  • Update WordPress to the latest version.
  • Update all plugins and themes.
  • Verify that your site is functioning correctly after updates.


If you’re unsure how to update your site or are concerned about possible conflicts, we can guide you through the process or provide an update service.

By keeping your site current, you’re not just making our job easier—you’re ensuring a more secure, reliable website for your business. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
