Daily Back Up
Back up of the Database is automated and done every 7 days by GoDaddy. Additional a back should be done manually on a regular basis and stored on an external back-up device. This can be done inside the server’s C-Panel by exporting the database (by separate tables) using myth-admin. The website files can be backed-up to external device using ftp.
Upgrading WordPress and Plugins
DO NOT UPGRADE WordPress, the Theme, or any Plugins on the live server. Doing any upgrades can cause things to conflict or break. Any and all WordPress or Plugin upgrades need to be analyzed and should also be tested on a Development server to make sure they can all work together. Site & WordPress setting changes should be done on a replicated, development server first to test for success – then, matched on the live server.
Installing New Plugins
New plugins should NOT be installed without testing them out first.
Make sure a CURRENT BACK-UP of the live server and MySQL database is obtained prior to any upgrades or installations of plugins, or changing of any settings.
