Reply To: Plugin update wrecked my site again

[hankroot]

Realistically, personally, Yeah, I’ve had that happen way too often lately. The annoying part is it’s never the plugin you expect. Some dumb utility plugin gets updated and suddenly the editor’s acting weird, menus vanish, or the backend just starts feeling “off” for no obvious reason. Then you spend 40 minutes blaming cache, browser, CDN, whatever, and half the time it’s still the update. I’ve basically stopped doing big “update everything” runs on client sites unless I’ve got a reason. Stagger it, check the site, move on. If it’s a security fix, sure, but random routine updates? Nah. Too many little surprises for no real gain.
