Not sure which version of WordPress your site is running? Simply log into your WordPress website, and you will see the current version number in the lower right corner of the dashboard.
Updating is easy, and you can see the updates in your WordPress dashboard. To install updates, click the refresh/update icon or go to Dashboard > Updates, then click the "Install Now" button. Once the installation is complete, you will see a confirmation screen welcoming you to the latest version of WordPress.
Yes, you can! With WordPress, you can choose to install it locally (on your computer) on almost any operating system. Depending on your skill level, you can use third-party software like Desktop Server or Local by Flywheel, or manually install WordPress using MAMP, WAMP, or LAMP.
WordPress can be manually installed using its 5-minute installation process, but most hosting companies have simplified this. Most shared hosting plans offer one-click installation features from the main account page or cPanel. However, if you choose managed WordPress hosting (such as WP Engine, Flywheel, or Kinsta), there's no need to do anything – WordPress is pre-installed for you.
