 * Hi Everyone.
 * I need to ask about wordpress updates. Recently i have create a website [https://magicphoto.gr/](https://magicphoto.gr/)
   and i am not sure if i have to update every new version of wordpress. i read 
   onlile lots of article about the updates but i can’t undrestand if there is a
   posibily a website broke by an update or not. There are very often updates for
   plugins as well so i am not sure if the plugins must update or is optional.
 * Thanks

 * WordPress updates are mainly for security purposes, I have website developed 
   using wordpress 4.3 or lower and now updated to 5.1.1 and never faced any issue
   but that doesn’t mean that you will also not face any issue.
 * Best suggestion is keep the wordpress security as best as possible and you are
   good without updates.
 * Regarding plugin, Yes i faced a problem once, after updating plugin, my original
   layout messed up as in newer version they changed many things that didn’t match
   earlier version.
 * So although it is recommended to update wordpress to newer, it is not mandatory.
