Description
Hi there,
I have the job to update a clients website that I haven't build up. The last step was to update wordpress. But incorrectly it shows that the latest wordpress version is already available. However, it is wordpress 5.5. the PHP version is 7.4. I have already used an additional plugin as an interim solution (Easy Updates Manager) to adjust the rules if necessary and allow automatic updates as a test. But even that did nothing. I am not a programmer but only frontend developer. The one who developed the site at that time does not exist anymore. What can I do? I need urgent help to update the wordpress version.
Thanks for your support!

Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

As mentioned in that topic, backing up your site and performing a manual update is probably your best option. If the manual update does not work for you, you might also try using a plugin such as Core Rollback to specify the version.
If you need further assistance with this or another aspect of the site, please use the support forums.
