A general question this time: PLESK warns me that either the version or the addon of some customer is out of date.. should I update them? is it safe? (reminds me of that movie, the marathon man)
-
The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release. -
The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
is it safe to update customers' wordpress installations

Hi tkalfaoglu,
IF the customer gave you the right to update/upgrade/patch his/her content, then you are allowed to update/upgrade/patch wordpress and/or plugins and themes.
You only have the right to update/upgrade/patch the customers content without a specific permission, if a non-update/upgrade/patch is a security risk to the server.
( These informations are just to inform you about the legal rights! )
You never can be sure, that a wordpress - plugin/theme ( or their updates/upgrades/patches ) is "safe", or could lead to issues/errors/problems, because the plugins among themselves, can also cause issues/errors/problems, as well as updates/upgrades/patches could change the content - layout. From my point of view as a hoster and therefore service provider, I would never dare to interact with the customers content, when he/she doesn't explizit ask for the interaction in every single situation. Exceptions are ONLY server - safety - relevant interactions, as stated above.

Great answer; many thanks.. I am mass mailing them and asking if they want us to include them into the auto-update loop.

Hi tkalfaoglu,
Pls. check the corresponding "wp-config.php" and be aware, that a customer might have configured it with special options.
