WordPress Version 4.9.8 Download

WordPress has released version 4.9.8, which is now available for download. This update includes a number of improvements and bug fixes for the popular content management system.

One major change in this version of WordPress is the addition of dashboard widget improvements. You can now add a widget to the dashboard that displays your site's health status, showing any updates that need to be made and any issues that need to be addressed.

Another new feature is the "try Gutenberg" callout. This is an opportunity for users to test out the new Gutenberg editor that will be the default editing experience in WordPress 5.0. By clicking the callout, users can install the Gutenberg plugin and see how it performs on their site.

WordPress 4.9.8 also includes several security fixes, including a fix for a cross-site scripting vulnerability that could be exploited by attackers to inject malicious code into a site.

To download WordPress 4.9.8, simply log in to your dashboard and click the "Update" button. Alternatively, you can download the update directly from the WordPress website.

As always, it's important to keep your WordPress site up to date with the latest version to ensure optimal security and performance. If you encounter any issues with the update, be sure to check the WordPress support forums for help and advice.
