Importance of keeping your WordPress Version Up-To-Date
Protect your WordPress Site by using the Latest Version Available
An important element to keeping your WordPress site secure is to stay caught up with the latest versions available for download. WordPress makes staying up-to-date easy with these simple steps to follow:
- WordPress does a good job keeping its software, themes, and plugins updated with new versions and patches to keep any new security vulnerabilities at bay.
- If you have an update to install you will see a prominent yellow notification bar across the top of your WordPress dashboard.
- The name of what needs the update is also displayed within the notification.
- To install, simply click the link and it will perform the update without having to leave the dashboard page.
*You can also check what version of WordPress your currently using by clicking the WordPress logo located in the top left corner and selecting About WordPress from the drop down menu. This will bring you to a page that states what version your running and information about the new features associated with the latest version your on. It will also prompt you here if your WordPress version is out of date and will provide a link to download the latest version.
