  Hi team.

  There used to be an option at the top of the screen to update your version of WordPress, but I haven’t seen this in a while and I think this might be why I can’t upload Google AdSense.

  Can someone let me know how to get the updated software?

  Regards,

  Jason

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  hi @cinesocialuk,

  You’ve used WordPress on an external server? This option exists in the WordPress.org platform.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Hi Miguel.

  Thanks for responding.

  I admit to being confused about WordPress, I think I have been using the .com side to it to add in posts.

  I have just visited wordpress.org and it is asking me to download a version of wordpress; will this upgrade the .com software I am using?

  The cinesocialuk.com blog is really hosted with the WordPress.com.
  But the WordPress.com does not have the option to upgrade.

  Option to update exists only when you download the WordPress system in WordPress.org and hosting for yourself.

  As I told you, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and different. See the differences here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  http://cinesocialuk.com/ – is hosted on WordPress.COM – you can not add Google AdSense or sell your own ads – it is against the Terms of Service and if you do put your own ads on the site your site will be suspended – no warning required

  Thank you – I don't want my own own ads on my site, but other companies. Apologies if that wasn't clear enough.
