Background\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\nBackground\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\nA new auto-update policy will be introduced by <\/span>WordPress <\/a><\/b>to address security concerns influencing approximately 11.7% of all WordPress websites. This auto-update policy will affect users who are using WordPress version v3.7 to v4.6.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For now, version v4.7 and onward are considered secured. This means that versions older than that are defenseless against several vulnerabilities, including downloads of malicious scripts.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, auto-updates will be implemented in incremental phases. <\/span>WordPress<\/a> <\/b>aims to auto-update sites that run on version v.3.7 to v.4.7, followed by version v3.8 to v.4.6. Site owners are given the choice to opt out this auto-update policy and update their respective sites manually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, if auto-update is unsuccessful, roll back will occur. WordPress will then send an email notification informing the website owner to update his\/her website manually to the latest version.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Websites that run on WordPress versions between v3.7 and v4.6.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Site administrators and users are strongly encouraged to update their WordPress version to v4.7 once it\u2019s open to the public.
