How to find which version of WP I am using

  • When logged in under my Dashboard. if I scroll down all the way, there is no version number as shown in the example. Why is that? How do I find which version I am using?

    another way to find is in this file:

    /wp-includes/version.php

    Hello there!

    You can go to Dashboard -> Updates and check the bottom of the page or check where it says “If you need to re-install version x.x.x”…so there’s your version.

    You can also check the version without accessing the admin area by looking for the “generator” tag on source code.

    • Just right click on any empty area on the screen and select View Page Source from browser menu.
    • Press CTRL+F and then search for ‘generator’.
    • If the site owner hasn’t disabled version information, then you will be able to see a tag like this:
      <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 4.7.2" />
