Thanks guys, I downloaded wordpress-5.5.1.zip and manually installed it. Jetpack now runs.. I do have an issue with akismet saying “Subscription Type
Akismet Personal (Free non-commercial license)” when https://akismet.com/account/ says “Spam protection for professional or commercial sites and blogs.”
Do I raise that here?

I am my site administrator and am self hosting. https://mytechguy.co.nz/wordpress/how-to-upgrade-version/ looks like a reasonable guide… I’ll google each step and get up todate. I’ll backup an instance of the virtual guest so if anything goes badly I can restore.

@supernovia What are the next steps mate?

Just found “if (!defined(‘WP_CORE_UPDATE’))
define(‘WP_CORE_UPDATE’, false);” in my wp-config.php file… Why would that be put there? (I’m pretty sure I didn’t do it)

Also dashboard updates says “If you need to re-install version –, you can do so here:”

So I’m thinking of backing up some data and then installing a new version… is this guide ok? https://mytechguy.co.nz/wordpress/how-to-upgrade-version/

I just looked at woocommerce status and saw “5.3.4 – There is a newer version of WordPress available (5.5.1)” yet Dashboard updates says “You have the latest version of WordPress.” That’s a bit odd isn’t it?

Hi.? Thanks for responding.? WordPress is on version 5.3.4
My site is at https://landscapes.voigtstr.com/
It’s still a work in progress.
Cheers,
