# wp core update
Updates WordPress to a newer version.
**Alias:** `upgrade`
Defaults to updating WordPress to the latest version.
If you see "Error: Another update is currently in progress.", you may need to run `wp option delete core_updater.lock` after verifying another update isn't actually running.
### OPTIONS
See the [argument syntax](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/references/argument-syntax/) reference for a detailed explanation of the syntax conventions used.
[<zip>]
: Path to zip file to use, instead of downloading from wordpress.org.
[\--minor]
: Only perform updates for minor releases (e.g. update from WP 4.3 to 4.3.3 instead of 4.4.2).
[\--version=<version>]
: Update to a specific version, instead of to the latest version. Alternatively accepts 'nightly'.
[\--force]
: Update even when installed WP version is greater than the requested version.
[\--locale=<locale>]
