Understanding Updating without losing customization
-
I know I have to update the WP core and theme anytime a new update comes out. I heard that hackers like to hack WP sites if you don’t stay current. My boss wants me to use WP only if it will be secure. My problem is that I know I will have to customize a theme to suit our designers. How can I avoid losing my custom look when updating the theme? I am new to this. I’m a former Joomla user who is trying to switch to WP.
Please help me. Thanks -

The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.
This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/
The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.

If you are asking for help with a WordPress.COM site then we need a link to that site to give you accurate help.

You are in the wrong forum and need to be asking at WordPress.ORG. The security of a WP.org blog, however, depends on your diligence and your knowledge base.
