Just updated my blog to WordPress v7.1.2 which is a security release addressing 1 issue. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.

My TwentyTwelve parent theme was not updated so I did not have to worry about anything affecting my child theme. So far the update here seems to have gone well.
