WordPress 3.7.1 is in development including much requested features and fast on the heels of the 3.6 release. There are some great changes in store for WordPress users soon, but most will not be visible changes for website visitors. WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) that can be used for anything from a personal blog to a full business site.

WordPress 3.7.1 can be upgraded to (or installed) using any of Installatron's products. Use Installatron's optional Automatic Update feature to automatically apply WordPress updates as new versions are released, or use Installatron's Clone feature to duplicate an existing WordPress install to test the 3.7.1 upgrade prior to applying it live.

WordPress 3.7.1 Features
The features listed below are the main attractions of this new version of WordPress:

  • Automatic updates - This is perhaps the most anticipated feature of WordPress 3.7.1 now, whenever an update is available, WordPress will automatically update your current version. Automatic updates will save a lot of time for a number of individuals. However, individuals who do not want this feature will have the option to turn it off.
  • New Password - This meter will encourage people to choose stronger passwords that the previous version’s meter did not really do.
  • Language Packs Feature - New language packs have been introduced to support other languages better.
  • New WordPress search - This option allows the search to be more efficient than ever before.

Reasons to Use WordPress 3.7.1
This release features some of the most important architectural updates we’ve made to date. Here are the big ones:

  • Updates while you sleep - With WordPress 3.7.1, you don’t have to lift a finger to apply maintenance and security updates. Most sites are now able to automatically apply these updates in the background. The update process also has been made even more reliable and secure, with dozens of new checks and safeguards.
  • Stronger password recommendations - It’s best to create passwords that are complex, long, and unique. To that end, our password meter has been updated in WordPress 3.7.1 to recognize common mistakes that can weaken your password: dates, names, keyboard patterns (123456789), and even pop culture references.
  • Better global support - Localized versions of WordPress will receive faster and more complete translations. WordPress 3.7.1 adds support for automatically installing the right language files and keeping them up to date, a boon for the many millions who use WordPress in a language other than English.
