I'm also wonder how to upgrade it

[Shashankphatkure]

maybe upgrading will be to reupload wordpress again in github by replacing everything from wordpress folder
and replacing the theme, plugin and content folder

You are Saying Right, But Icons and other things are Not Showing Properly

Any ideas guys? Problem is becoming more serious as most plugins don't work with such old WP version!

There is a script to update WordPress, but I don't know how to run it in Vercel. I'm not really sure what I'm talking about either, haha. The script is util/upgrade-wp.sh.

How to Manually Update WordPress

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository_url>

2. Download and Unzip WordPress:

   • Download the latest WordPress .zip file from wordpress.org.
   • Unzip the downloaded file.

3. Update WordPress Core:

   • Delete the wp-admin and wp-includes directories from your project.
   • Copy the wp-admin and wp-includes directories from the new WordPress version to your project's wp directory.
   • Copy the loose wp-*.php files from the root of the new WordPress version to your project's wp directory, overwriting the old files.
   • Important: Do not delete or overwrite the wp-content directory or the wp-config.php file.

4. Synchronize the repository:

   git add .
   git commit -m "Update WordPress"
   git push
