Core

As always, you should update themes first, then plugins, then the WordPress core.

Operations affecting WordPress’ core use the command wp core.

Checking the Version

To get the currently installed version:

wp core version

To find out the latest available version:

wp core check-update

Updating the Core

To update to the latest version:

wp core update

or, to specify the version, you can use:

wp core update --version=X.X.X

Note: After updating the core, you need to check for a database update!

Database Update

To update the WordPress database:

wp core update-db

Confirm the successful update by rechecking the version!
