Website WordPress Upgrade

Earlier today (Friday 17 June 2022) our Westbury Sub Mendip website was upgraded by the website providers, Tickbox Marketing, as funded by the Parish Council.

The upgrade was to the WordPress software with which the website is built, and it is the first such upgrade in our website’s history, so this is quite a milestone!

The jump in WordPress versions was from 4.8.19 to 6.0, so was quite a big step. In theory, the website should still look much the same, however if you do notice any changes, good or bad, I would be interested to know – please email me , Mark Smith, at:

The WordPress upgrade will make the website more resilient, and the data on it more secure. So a big thankyou goes to Tickbox Marketing for what has been significant work for them, and also to the Parish Council for funding this upgrade and the continuing operation of the website.
