Everyone to note that WordPress has decided to discontinue the security updates for its versions 3.7 through 4.0 with effective from December 1, 2022.

Although majority of websites are already upgraded to the WordPress version 4.5 and above, however, the chances this will impact on your sites, will be small.

It is always recommended to have the website upgraded to latest version of WordPress to keep it in sync with all the new security features.

WordPress latest version 6.0.2 is available! You can upgrade your website now.
