Applying Security Patches to Old Version of WordPress

  • Hello,

    I’m working with a single install of WordPress which is on 4.6.1. Eventually, it will be upgraded to the latest WP version, but for now I’d like to upgrade to the lastest security release 4.6.19 which just came out. Do I need to apply each WP version one at a time (4.6.2, 4.6.3, etc..) or can I just download 4.6.19 and apply it instead?

    Thanks.

    You can jump to 4.6.19, but really, don’t wait for “eventually”!

    Thanks. In 4.6.19, the files changed section mentions a file called
    wp-includes/class-wp-query.php yet I cannot find it in any of the 4.6 releases. Was it deleted? I do see the file in more recent releases?

    I’m not tracking old versions. Just go ahead and install.

    Again, it would be better to move up to 5.4.2 as soon as possible.
