Hello,<br />
<br />
I got an email that it is recommended that I upgrade my Wordpress to 3.8.3. Should I be concerned in doing the upgrade? Will there be downtime? What if the upgrade crash my existing Wordpress? The reason I ask is because my website is in production so I'd like to minimize the downtime. Thanks
