WordPress has released version 7.0.4, a security-focused update for the WordPress content management system. Security releases fix known vulnerabilities that could be exploited to harm your site, compromise visitor data, or disrupt your site's normal operation, so it is strongly recommended you apply this update as soon as possible. You can install WordPress 7.0.4 in two ways: download the new version directly from the official WordPress.org website, or access your site's WordPress Dashboard, go to the Updates menu, and click the Update Now button.
