# ansible-wordpress-updates
Ansible playbook to update wordpress (major, themes and plugins).
## Description
This playbook allows you to update multiple wordpress installations - it automatically scans for all wordpress installations at /var/www.
Befor the update, it will write a backup of the Database to `/var/www/update-backups`.
