WordPress 4.9 Is Here!
Automattic have just released WordPress 4.9, and you should update your WordPress code immediately.
Below this article, there's a link to what the new release covers.
It's vital that you update your WordPress code when a new release comes out. Automattic recommend that you back up your site before updating.
With this release, they have updated versions of the free WordPress themes that you also need to update.
And I have already seen a slew of plugins that now need to be updated.
The Maintenance Burden
All of this adds up to a lot of maintenance you need to carry out every time WordPress is udpated. If you don't update your code when it's released, you're opening the door to hackers.
My clients' WordPress sites have already been updated. If you too would like hassle-free updating of your WordPress code, themes and plugins, check out my WP Maintenance Service here:
