 * Very quick question. Is there a function that returns the version of WP that 
   is installed? I can’t find one, but I thought I’d check here.
    Thanks 🙂

 * `
    $wp_version is the variable. assigned in wp/wp-includes/version.php bloginfo();
   may also work (seen in other post) <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>
