Updating WordPress


The WordPress team regularly releases updates to the WordPress software. These updates contain bug fixes, improvements, security patches, and additional features. It is a good idea to make sure that you are always running the latest version of WordPress.

Note

Before updating WordPress, it is recommended that the user backs up the database as described earlier in the chapter.

When a WordPress update is available, an update notice will appear at the top of all WordPress dashboard screens as shown in the following screenshot:

To update WordPress, click on the Update Now link in the notification or hover over Dashboard in the WordPress left sidebar and select Updates. Clicking on the Update Now button will download and install the latest version of WordPress.
