<p>As of July 2025, the WordPress Security Team will no longer provide security updates for WordPress versions 4.1 through 4.6.</p>
<p>These versions were first released nine or more years ago and over 99% of WordPress installations run a more recent version. The chances this will affect your site, or sites, is very small.</p>
<p>If you are unsure if you are running an up-to-date version of WordPress, please log in to your site’s dashboard. Out of date versions will display a notice that looks like this:</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border"></figure>
<p>The version you are running is displayed in the bottom of the “At a Glance” section of the dashboard.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border"></figure>
<p>As a reminder, the only <em>actively</em> supported version of WordPress is the most recent one. Security updates are only backported to older branches as a courtesy.</p>
<p>The Make WordPress Security blog has further details about <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/security/2025/06/18/security-updates-will-cease-for-wordpress-versions-4-1-through-4-6/" data-type="link" data-id="https://make.wordpress.org/security/2025/06/18/security-updates-will-cease-for-wordpress-versions-4-1-through-4-6/">the process to end support</a>.</p>
