Why do I have to keep my WordPress plugins up to date?
Off the top of my head I can think of four reasons:
- Because they often introduce new functionality which sometimes makes your life a whole lot easier
- Because they nearly always fix known bugs
- Because WordPress core has been updated and the plugin no longer works properly with the new version of WordPress
- And finally, and in my opinion most importantly, because the authors have plugged a security loophole which could allow hackers to find a way into your site.
