WordPress won’t update

    I’m a complete newbie to ww.wp.xz.cn and am using it to build a simple small site. I’m using version 4.4.1, which was current when I loaded it earlier this year.

    The latest info suggests one should update to version 4.6.1, however Dashboard > Updates tells me that “You have the latest version of WordPress”. No “Update” button is visible but the Update page confirms that I’m on v 4.4.1.

    I’d prefer to run with the current version. Does anyone have any suggestions how I might get there?

    -Try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Please read the Manual Update directions first.
    – Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups!
