What exact version of wordpress do I have?

  • Hello Folks:

    This kills me. Sometimes I feel just plain dumb.

    How can I find out what version of WordPress I am currently using?

    I think it is 2.8.1 but how to verify.

    Thank you,

    Riley West

  • rwestpnw,

    I’m sure there is an easier way to tell, but I typically check wp-includes > version.php and look for the following line:

    $wp_version = '2.8.4';

    This information should be written in the footer of your admin panel as well, but in our case it has been removed.

    What do you mean wp-includes>version.php?

    Am I supposed to enter those letters somewhere? If so, where?

    wp-includes is one of your WordPress folders, version.php (file in it) has the version number in it. You can also use your browser and “View >> Page Source.

    Or it should also be in your Dashboard when you log in.
