safe updates

Updates that never break your site.

We keep WordPress and everything that comes with it up to date, after trying every update on every kind of site. You never press Update, and you can always go back.

why it matters

Updates are where websites break.

  1. the problem

    One update takes the site down

    You press Update, the page goes white, and you hear about it from a customer.

    how AnyPress fixes it

    Tried before it touches you

    Every update runs on a test copy of every kind of site first. If anything errors, it never reaches yours.

  2. the problem

    Updating site after site

    Forty client sites means forty logins and forty Update buttons, every week.

    how AnyPress fixes it

    Done for every site at once

    WordPress, the theme and the plugins every site comes with are updated for you, everywhere.

  3. the problem

    No way back

    A change goes wrong and the only fix is a late night putting it back by hand.

    how AnyPress fixes it

    Go back in a click

    The version a site was on is kept. Move it back, and it's as it was.

what we update for you

Every update is tried before it reaches you.

Nobody presses Update on a live site. Here's the path every update takes first.

  1. 1. We spot a new releaseEvery hour we look for new versions of WordPress, our theme, our blocks and the plugins every site comes with.
  2. 2. We try it on every kind of siteA test copy of each kind of site is built with the update. Every admin screen and the home page must load without an error.
  3. 3. We test it like a real siteThe test copy is set up the way a new site is, and every page must open before the update goes anywhere.
  4. 4. Sites move overOnly then does it reach your sites. A site that doesn't move cleanly is put back where it was.
  5. 5. The old version staysThe version sites were on is kept, so we can always go back.
for sellers: your own changes

Change all your clients' sites at once, without breaking one.

Your starting site is the one every order is copied from. Change a copy of it, try it, then move sites over when you're ready.

for exampleYou want every client to get a booking page. You have 24 clients on version v1.4 of your starting site.

  1. 1. Make a new versionv1.5 · a copy of v1.4

    One click copies your starting site. Every client's site stays on v1.4 and doesn't notice a thing.

  2. 2. Add the booking pagev1.5 · booking page added

    Add the plugin, build the page, change the menu. Only in v1.5.

  3. 3. Try it yourselfv1.5 · opened and checked

    Open v1.5 like a real site. Book a test appointment.

  4. 4. Move sites overNew orders get v1.5

    Move one client first, then the rest when you're happy. Their pages, orders and photos come with them.

  5. 5. Go back if you need to1 site back on v1.4

    A client who doesn't want it? Move their site back. v1.4 stays in your list.

The Templates page in the AnyPress dashboard: saved versions of the starting site, with v1.4 marked Production and a New version button

Questions about updates

Do I have to update anything?
Not for WordPress, our theme, our blocks or the plugins every site comes with. We do those. Plugins you add yourself, you update in a new version of your starting site.
Will an update change my pages or orders?
No. Updates change the software, not what's in the site. Your pages, posts, orders, members and uploads stay as they are.
How fast do security fixes arrive?
We look for new releases every hour. A fix reaches sites as soon as it has passed the checks above, usually the same day.
What if an update breaks something?
It shouldn't get that far, because every update is tried on every kind of site first. If it does, the site can go back to the version it was on, and every site also has nightly backups.
Can I stop my clients' sites from getting a change of mine?
Yes. Your changes only reach a site when you move it to the new version. Until then it stays on the one it has.
Can I turn on automatic plugin updates in WordPress?
There's no need for the plugins we include, because we update them for you. For more about how sites are run, see hosting and safety.
