Use this interactive demo to learn how to find your WordPress version from the admin dashboard.

Quick summary

You can check the WordPress version of your site directly from the WP Admin Dashboard by navigating to the At a Glance panel, where the version is displayed alongside your active theme details.


Steps

  1. Hover your mouse cursor over your site name at the top-left corner and click 'Dashboard'.
  2. Head over to the Quick Links panel and select 'WP Admin Dashboard' from the list of options.
  3. Tap the 'At a Glance' panel in the WordPress admin area.
  4. View your WordPress version displayed there, written alongside your theme details.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing your WordPress version is essential for maintaining site security, ensuring plugin and theme compatibility, and staying current with the latest features. Outdated WordPress installations are a leading cause of site vulnerabilities, making version awareness a critical part of any website management routine. The At a Glance panel in the WP Admin Dashboard gives site owners instant access to this information without requiring any technical expertise. This quick check helps developers and non-technical users alike keep their WordPress sites healthy and up to date.
