WordPress version questions

Straight answers about your results.

Why does my WordPress version matter?

Each release fixes security flaws. Sites on old versions are easy targets, because those flaws are public.

Should I hide my WordPress version?

It helps a little, since bots look for it. Staying up to date matters far more.

How do I update WordPress safely?

Back up your site first, then update from Dashboard, Updates. If your site runs a lot of plugins, test the update on a staging copy.

Is the version check free?

Yes. It’s free and there’s nothing to sign up for.
