I too believe there are too many updates… I am of advanced age and yes, not too interested in codexes or coding. Every time I have to do an update, wordpress crashes for me and the wonderful people at GoDaddy have to fix me up again. I just get grief or snobby comments from the experts at wordpress (high tech knowledge, lousy bedside manner).
Why can’t wordpress put out more robust releases? I get the security thing, but there doesn’t seem to be the user friendly approach available. I had never heard of automatic updates. And if I have to do coding to make it happen, I’m not likely to do it – just clicking on ‘update now’ causes my system to crash…..
Sorry for the rant, I’m just super frustrated…. When I signed up for wordpress it wasn’t clear that one needs to be interested in back end coding to make the thing work, and it needs constant tinkering.
Ah, yes, this all sounds helpful… I’ve never done anything like this…
what does this mean? “Get the latest WordPress zip (or tar.gz) file”
Is there a video I can follow? I don’t think I’m wordpress material…
