So yesterday I reverted one of my sites back to Version 4.6.1
The other 3 newer updates, with each update new problems were created on my site. I am not a developer. The developer of my theme (Paid) is useless and unwilling to help. I have no money to spend on a developer.
This left me with a choice of either paying a developer to fix the problems (and keep paying with every wordpress/plugin update that breaks something), or simply revert wordpress to the last version where everything worked, and then disabled ALL future wordpress and plugin updates. I did the latter.
After I reverted, everything was working again. Ahhh, so happy 🙂
The only problem with doing this seems to be various vulnerabilities and security issues. And I’m wondering, is there anything I can do on my site to enhance security, seeing as for the foreseeable future I will be running outdated versions of plugins and of wordpress.
Any advice as to what I could do to enhance security in my case?
p.s not to be a jerk, but I don’t want to hear about how what I did is not advisable, about how it’s dangerous, about how I should go to the theme developer and bug him, or pay a developer to keep my site working (unless you’re willing to give me the money or keep it working yourself, I don’t wanna hear it). Please, I don’t want to be a jerk about it, but I understand the dangers and everything. I just want advice as to what I can do to minimize those security dangers and vulnerabilities, now that I will be running outdates versions of plugins and wordpress.
Thank You!
