Hi Everyone,

Wordpress has just come out with the latest version 4.0 labeled "Benny". This update includes some nice new features that will be available to everyone here at Wealthy Affiliate after updating from your current version to version 4.0.

Updating your Website is Easy

To update your website to this latest version you will need to login as Admin, then click the button up near the top that says "Please update now".

After clicking this button you will be taken to the update page that looks like this:



Do not forget to update your plugins!

You will need to update your plugins so that you can ensure that everything works properly. Go to your Plugins page, and click the "update" link next to any plugins that have available updates.

In our initial tests of Benny 4.0, the WordPress editor didn't work properly when adding media until all plugins were updated. So, please make sure that you update your plugins at the same time.

Have fun with this new WordPress update, there are some nice new features that will make managing media and publishing your awesome content a lot easier!

Carson

PS: Thanks to everyone who has already posted about this WordPress update for helping to spread the word!

Thanks, Carson! Both my sites handled the update like champs! New features look good.

Thanks Carson, updating now :-)

Thanks for the update . Will be using it soon .

A docked editor...finally!

The editor buttons staying on the same page is probably the best feature update I've noticed so far - I've made use of it tonight already, and love it.

The media updates are ok - I suppose being able to click a next/back button to add titles etc to images is fine - to be honest, not a necessity, but for something that is free, you can't fault the developers for continually adding (even small) tweaks to increase your productivity.

The in-line videos/images etc - showing as they would in posts is also a great new feature.

But - simply having the buttons you need (for formatting etc) in the editor, makes this such a worthwhile update - no more scrolling - such a productivity improvement on an already fantastic platform!!

All the best, Mark

I will look out for these features. Thanks Mark!

Thanks WA for keeping us up to date!

And don't forget to make a backup before updating.

Looks like some great updates in 4.0, looking forward to using it!

Thanks!

Thank you Carson.
