WordPress®  is a versatile Content Management System that you can use to build and run your website. It allows the ability to easily add content, change designs and add features to your site. Like most Open Source software, it  is subject to security related vulnerabilities

We strongly urge that if you are not running the newest version of WordPress, that you take the following steps to upgrade your site.

1. Back-up the contents of your service including your database using the instructions found below:

2. Access your WordPress Administration panel

3. On the left hand menu click Dashboard then Updates

4. In the center it will list the WordPress version available and other Plug-in updates available. Click Update Automatically next to the WordPress version.

The next screen will show the progress and a successful completion message once completed.

Some things to remember:

·  Always stay up to date to avoid potential issues. This includes WordPress and the Plug-ins

·  If you get an error message that the process could not complete try to reset file permissions using the instructions found here:
