If you have access to the site, the best way to check which version of WordPress is installed is looking for the file wp-includes/version.php

You'll find in it following code:

/**
* The WordPress version string
*
* @global string $wp_version
*/
$wp_version = '4.7.5';

which clearly reports the WordPress version is installed.



If you have no access to WordPress backend, you can check which WordPress version is used following way:

  • open any page of the site you're investigating in your browser
  • show its source code
  • look for following line of code:
    <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 4.7.5" />
