- DO NOT SET you WordPress installation to auto upgrade as this can trigger an API error message and deactivate your plugins and as a result break your entire website. Especially if the plugins you have installed, has not been tested with the newest WP version.
- ALLWAYS check in on your WP installation and plugins when you receive a message from your webhost that has a subject like this: «Important: WordPress websites were upgraded to latest versions».
- Not all servers act the same: The API Manager we use has issues with some server settings and may display an API software error message also when upgrading og re-installing it.
