Version upgrade

I am still using version 6.6.5 and apparently it’s doing fine. I know your latest version is 6.7.1. My question is, is there any pressing reason (like security issue or speed performance) that I should upgrade it to the latest version? I am just being careful about upgrading, in case it makes things worse as it happens some time, so wanted to get your opinion. Thanks.

I guess WordPress 4.5 can “break” how jquery is loaded in a *lot* of themes, or they switched to calling a newer version than most themes and WP 4.4x had.

So, if your site stops working with WP 4.5, then you’d likely need to update, –or– perhaps unenqueue jquery from theme in your functions.php file and then load via the Google CDN. Oddly one of my sites where I did that had zero problems with the new WP 4.5 update, while others had the problem.

Obviously make a full back up of your dbase and site content so you can “roll back” if it does not work.

Visual Composer may stop working with new version of WP due to the new version of jquery being loaded.
