“I am looking for a website that I
don’t have to think about. That just looks after itself and just works
without me having to do anything. Is that doable?”
The Holy Grail of websites is a site that you build and then ignore,
with all the tech bits that go into the website automatically updating
themselves without human intervention. This grail shaped object would
continue to work seamlessly for years until the time comes to change the
content or the design.
Like all quests for the Holy Grail, many people are questing for this website Nirvana, but as yet no-one has fully succeeded.
However, the latest version of WordPress, WordPress 5.5, brings that
quest one step closer. With that version of WordPress, you can pop over
to your Plugins page and select an option to enable a plugin to
auto-update.
