  I got an email this morning about a new upgrade. How can I find out what version I currently have?

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

  All sites on WordPress.com are automatically upgraded to the most recent stable release. Right now that is 4.2.2.

  If you have any self-hosted sites running the WordPress software. You can check for updates (and see what version you’re running) here:

  YOURDOMAINHERE.com/wp-admin/update-core.php

  My domain http://www.hri.us is hosted by WordPress. Shouldn’t we have access to the version somewhere on our dashboard? The link above did not work.

  That link would only be for self-hosted sites running the WordPress software.

  On WordPress.com, we disable that section as we automatically update every WordPress.com site with the latest stable release of WordPress, and don’t allow previous versions.

  Since we always use the most recent release, and make changes to WordPress.com (on top of the core WordPress software) so frequently, we don’t list version numbers anywhere in the site dashboard.
