How do I find out what version of WordPress is run

Question

I have just taken over someone's hosted WordPress site. How do I find out what version he is running?

Answer 1

Just go to follow link domain.com/wp-admin/about.php

Answer 2

Look in wp-includes/version.php

/**
 * The WordPress version string
 *
 * @global string $wp_version
 */
$wp_version = '2.8.4';

Answer 3

The easiest way would be to see the readme file that ships with every WordPress version itself.

http://example.com/readme.html

Answer 4

Open the blog, Check source once the blog is open. It should have a meta tag like:

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.8.4" />

Answer 5

On the Admin panel in the footer you should see the words "Wordpress x.x" where x.x is your version number :)

Alternatively you can echo out the WP_VERSION constant in your script, it's up to you. The former is a lot quicker and easier.

Answer 6

In dashboard you can see running word press version at "At a Glance"
