Does WordPress.com help with updating theme and plug-ins with Business Plan?

  If I choose Business Plan, does someone at WordPress update my theme and plugins?
  Or does the system automatically update the theme and plugins?
  Or does it go otherwise?

  Hi there!

  There are some plugins, like Jetpack or Akismet, that are installed automatically and WordPress.com will maintain those for you. You’ll want to update manually any other third-party plugin or theme but you’ll usually see a prompt to do it when an update is available.

  Here you can find more details about managing plugins:

  Hi,

  Thanks for your quick reply. Good to know that some plugins will be updated automatically by WordPress.com, and that other third-party plugins and theme will not be updated automatically.

  Thank you for the link!
