Just to let the hole world know, that a new Wordpress version is available and brings us very important security fixes. You can see the official announcement here . I just updated mine in 5 minutes, with a couple of clicks. You are probably wondering (or maybe not), ” How did this guy update his Wordpress system in 5 minutes?” Well, there are very useful plug-ins out there, I used Wordpress Automatic upgrade, very useful plug-in with very easy steps, even a newbie in Wordpress can do it with this plug-in. Here are the following steps of what it’s capable of:

  1. Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
  2. Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
  3. Downloads the latest files from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip and unzips it.
  4. Puts the site in maintenance mode.
  5. De-activates all active plug-ins and remembers it.
  6. Upgrades Wordpress files.
  7. Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
  8. Re-activates the plug-ins.

You can download it and follow these steps, or you can do it the old way, which you will have to download the latest files, upload them to you hosting account, and them upgrade the database, this would probably take you 20 minutes just doing this and getting everything to function properly.

Happy New Year!!! :P
