WordPress has released version 7.0.4, a security-focused update that fixes known vulnerabilities in the platform. Because this release addresses security issues, it is recommended that you update your WordPress site as soon as possible to keep it and its visitors protected.
You can update to this version in two ways: either download the latest release directly from the official WordPress.org website, or use the built-in updater in your site's WordPress admin dashboard by going to Dashboard → Updates and clicking the Update Now button.
