Yes, WordPress 6.2.2 is now available, and you can perform a manual or automatic update of the system. The current release of WordPress 6.2.2 addresses one bug and one security issue. As it is a security update, the developers recommend updating your websites immediately. The developers have also released updates for all versions of WordPress starting from version 5.9.
WordPress 6.2.2 addresses the issues that arose in version 6.2.1 and provides protection against a vulnerability that was addressed in the same version. This release came out recently, and the developers responded to the identified issue quite promptly. In August 2023, we can expect the release of the major update, version 6.3.

WordPress 6.2.2 is now available! Perform the update.
If you have automatic updates enabled, your content management system will handle everything for you. After the update, you will need to log in, clear any cache if you are using a caching plugin, and check if your website is running smoothly.
If you don’t have automatic updates enabled, you can download the new version of WordPress from the official website wordpress.org, or from the Czech version cs.wordpress.org. If you are confident that the update will not cause any issues or conflicts with your theme or plugins, you can perform the update through the administration panel.
Here’s how to do it:
- Log in to your WordPress administration panel.
- Click on “Dashboard” in the left menu.
- Perform the update to the latest released version.
- Before the update, make sure to back up your website and database.
