How do I update my version of WordPress?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:13 am

When WordPress was first released, it used the wp-admin interface only. However, with time, WordPress has evolved and now has a more user-friendly front-end, called the WordPress Dashboard. The Dashboard allows you to manage your website’s content and settings in one place, as well as manage your site’s security and updates.

If you are using a hosted WordPress site, your hosting provider will usually take care of updates for you. If you are using a self-hosted WordPress site, you will need to update your WordPress version yourself. Here are instructions on how to do this:.

PRO TIP: If you are running a self-hosted WordPress site, it is important to keep your WordPress software up to date. WordPress releases regular updates to their software which include security fixes, new features, and performance improvements. Failing to update your WordPress site can leave it vulnerable to security risks and attacks.

To update your WordPress version, log in to your website’s admin area and click on the “Updates” tab. Here, you will find a list of all the updates that are available for your WordPress site.

To download and install the update, click on the “Install” button next to the update that you want to install. Once the update has been installed, you will need to restart your website in order for the changes to take effect.
