Upgrade to Latest Version of WordPress-V4.4

Recently a new version of WordPress ( 4.4 ) has been released. Have you updated your WordPress site to latest version ? If yes, then it’s great. If No, then here are a few points that should help you to understand why it’s important :

1. Security: The latest version is always more secure than previous ones (and incorporates the latest fixes). As security experts keep reporting security bugs and issues, they are resolved by the WordPress team and incorporated into the new version. So if you are not using latest version then you can be vulnerable to attack by hackers.
