If a client wishes to update a particular CMS platform such as WordPress this can be provided but if a website fails due to a website being incompatible with a newer version of a CMS platform then restoring an older version of a CMS platform may be the only resolve unless a client is willing to pay for additional developments to a website to allow compatibility between a website and a newer CMS platform.
