My wordpress version?

  • I cant seem to find my WordPress version anywhere. I have Googled this, and searched on this site, but all i can find is old and incorrect instructions…There is nothing in the dashboard, nothing in the footer…so where is it?

  • It is in the footer of every page of your admim area as well as in the Right Now pane of your Dashboard.

    Nope, it is not in any place in my dashboard or in my footer.

    In my backend footer, all i see is “Thank you for creating with WordPress. Get Version 3.9.1”

    The only info in the “Right now” area of the dashboard area is:
    “Discussion
    43 Forums
    77 Topics
    3 Replies
    10 Topic Tags

    You are using bbPress 2.5.3-5249.”

    Try looking in the Right Now pane of your Dashboard. If you do not see this pane, click Screen Options at the very top of the Dashboard page and check “Right Now”. You are obviously using an older version of WordPress so you need to upgrade asap.

    I can clearly see the “Right now in forums” pane, and it only contains the info i have copied and pasted earlier. There is no other pane called “Right now…” except “Right now in rTmedia”. Even when i check the “Screen Options” there is no other “Right now” alternative then these two i have already mentioned.

    I updated WordPress less then 2 months ago. In a backup i found a personal note that i have updated WordPress to version 3.8.2. But this info is not available in any way from the backend of the site.

    You need to look in your Dashboard. And upgrade WordPress! Were you aware that your site is currently running a very real risk of being hacked?

    Since you claim that my lack of update is a big security risc, i will not give you my website address before i can review the latest info and update history. Please give me the link to these.

    There’s a search field at the top of this page. You can find out all of the details for the more recent WordPress updates by simply searching on “WordPress 3.9” etc.

    Alternatively, to confirm your version number, visit the dashboard of your site (e.g. https://example.com/wp-admin/) and add on “about.php”, thus https://example.com/wp-admin/about.php .
