Safe to upgrade Wordpress?

Admin Dashboard has notification of a Wordpress update. Is it safe to upgrade through that link or should I wait for a new BitNami module to be available?

Hi,

Yes it is safe but it is a good practice to create a backup first. It is very simple, stop the servers and copy your BitNami Stack folder and that’s all. You can restore your previous installation replacing the folder if something went wrong.

I hope it helps.

I used to be very wary of upgrading too. But if you follow beltran’s advice it should go smooth. I never had a problem so far and the thing is that its really important to upgrade. I actually got hacked once and that wouldnt have happened if I had done the security update.
