4 useful WordPress plugins to make your life easier

Share this article

We’ve been asked recently about ways to backup a website and restore previous versions of the site after a user error. Below is a list of 4 plugins that we feel will help with these problems.

As with all plugins, please check the compatibility of the plugin with your version of website before installing. We would also recommend backing up your website before proceeding (one of our suggestions should make this a little easier in the future).

1. Easy Updates Manager

Automate specific WordPress updates

This one is something you should monitor but it could potentially save you some time.
Settings can be adjusted to only automatically update specific plugins or themes.

2. Simple History

Keep track of your user activity

This is a great plugin for logging user activity throughout the WordPress admin.
This means that you can easily identify who has edited a particular page, and when they did this.

No more arguments in the office.
