With so many updates, it is easy to lose track of the WordPress version running on our websites. Luckily, it is easy to find our WordPress version from our admin dashboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You just need to login to your administration dashboard and you\u2019ll see it at the bottom right of the home page. It is visible on all pages of the dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check WordPress version with version.php file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t have access to the administration dashboard? Don\u2019t worry, you can also check your WordPress version by checking your site\u2019s version.php file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Log in to your cPanel account<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Go to the File Manager. You can find it by scrolling down to the Files section or by using the search bar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
