It's my belief that themes and plugins should be updated before the WP core files. That way any changes to them that are necessary for them to work properly with the newer WP will be in place when WP is updated and the likelihood of something breaking is reduced. Comments?

[@HostingerAcademy]

Hey there! While updating themes and plugins before the WP core files can be a good practice, it's not always necessary. WordPress is designed to be backwards compatible, so even if you update the core files first, your themes and plugins should continue to work without issue. That said, it's still a good idea to check for compatibility before updating and to have a backup plan in case anything does break. 🚀

what about wp-config.php ? repace that ?

[@HostingerAcademy]

Hey! 😊 When updating WordPress, do not replace the wp-config.php file. This file contains critical settings, such as your database connection details, authentication keys, and other custom configurations for your website. Replacing it could break your site or reset these important settings.

What is the difference between WordPress 6.2-en GB and WordPress 6.2-en US?

[@HostingerAcademy]

Hey Sam! The difference between WordPress 6.2-en GB and WordPress 6.2-en US is the language variant. "en GB" refers to the British English variant, while "en US" refers to the American English variant. The difference between the two is mainly in spelling and grammar, and there may be some regional differences in vocabulary as well. When choosing between the two, it's important to consider the language and spelling conventions of your target audience 😊

[@HostingerAcademy]

Hello! If you're seeing the "WordPress 6.6.1 is available! Please notify the site administrator" message, but you are the administrator, it might be a permissions issue. Make sure you're logged in with an admin account and try refreshing the page. If the problem persists, check your user role settings or contact our team for further assistance. Hope this helps! 😊

or updating your wordpress website can break it as you introducing thousands of lines on new code, features and bugs...

[@HostingerAcademy]

Hi there! Updating your WordPress site is crucial for security and performance, but it's true that updates can sometimes cause issues because they introduce new code and features. To minimize risks, it's a good idea to back up your site before updating and test the updates in a staging environment if possible 😉
