A new version of HireBee WordPress Theme from AppThemes released – HireBee V1.6 and you can download the latest version of the HireBee WordPress theme for free from AppThemes members area or you can update it for free from WordPress admin panel for free. It is a maintenance release which comes with adding new features and it is recommended to all users that they must update the HireBee theme to the latest version as soon as possible. Before updating HireBee WordPress Theme to the latest version make sure that you backup your files & database it’s because if something goes wrong then you can easily backup your files & database in a single click. To backup files & databases, I personally recommend BackupBuddy WordPress Backup Plugin.
