Join Morten Rand-Hendriksen for an in-depth discussion in this video Keeping up to date, part of WordPress Essential Training.
- By far the easiest and most important step…to ensure your WordPress site remains safe and secure,…is to always keep WordPress itself as well…as your themes and plugins up to date.…This process is made as easy as possible with auto-updates…and simple in-app updaters and it's important…to know where these are and how to use them.…So, let's take a look at how to ensure…you're always running the latest version of your software.…Watching this course, you may have noticed that I'm…recording the course using a beta version of WordPress…You can see it up here. It say's WordPress 4.3 beta.…
And there's also a little notification on the bottom of the…screen down here saying, I'm using a development version.…That's because I'm recording this course before…the release of WordPress 4.3 and it'll be released…alongside WordPress 4.3 and unfortunately, I don't have…a time machine so I can't go forward in time to record after…it was released and then come back here, so that's why.…That also means to demonstrate to you how to do WordPress…
