There have been many updates to WordPress in the last few months, which can cause confusion and lead to questions about when (and how) to upgrade. As of this writing, the latest update is a major jump to 3.7.1. The main question people ask is, “Do I upgrade right away?”
The best practice is to wait a week or so before doing that. Often, there are unforeseen glitches on the initial release of a WordPress update. It is best to wait until others have ferreted those glitches and implemented incremental fixes. There have been some minor changes with the latest version, so it recently went from 3.7 to 3.7.1. This is usually a good sign that it has been tested and fixes found to any problems discovered with the update.
Once you’ve waited a week or so and decide it is time to upgrade, there are several safety things to do first, just in case. The main one, of course, is to do a full backup. (A full backup means backing up the database and all the files. Many backup programs or plugins only do the database. Choose one that will also do the files.) If the upgrade trashes your site, you can restore it to the previous version with your backup copy. Once the backup is done, update any plugins and then your theme. You can update these in your WordPress admin area under “Dashboard/Updates.”
Once you do that, check the site to ensure these haven’t caused any issues. Then, it’s finally time to do the WordPress update. Once it has run, check if it broke any of your plugins, interfered with your theme, etc. If all is well, relax until the next upgrade comes out. If there are minor issues, sometimes turning off an offending plugin or two will fix them. If not, it’s time to revert to your backup.
I’ve started the rollout of the latest version of WordPress on a couple of my test sites, and so far, I don’t see any problems. Most of the changes are in the background. The main difference to this version is the automatic background updater, which automatically updates WordPress for minor security releases, which don’t tend to be very intrusive. (There are ways of turning off this feature if you don’t like it, but they involve editing your core files, which I never recommend.)
