Running updates is easy, what can go wrong?

In a prefect world an update is a matter of pressing a button and your website runs perfectly on the latest software. In the real world however that isn’t always the case. After an update conflicts between server software, the CMS and plugins are a very common problem. These issues then need to be resolved and there is no button in your CMS that you can press to make that happen. In short updating isn’t always straight forward, not updating however, is not an option either.
