VVV will automatically update WordPress on a reprovision if you’re using the custom site templates, but there are other methods of updating.

As well as reprovisioning, all the normal methods for updating work too, e.g.:
- Downloading WordPress from WordPress.org and extracting the zip file into
public_html
- Using the built in updater in the Admin area
- Using WP CLI’s core updater command

Using SVN
Navigate to the public_html
folder of the site in a terminal/command prompt, and run svn up
.
Using Git
Navigate to the public_html
folder of the site, and run git pull
. This will happen automatically on reprovision, but only if you’re using the default master
branch.
Manual WP Installs
Manual installs won’t be updated on provision unless a vvv-init.sh
script has been written to do this. These installs will need to be updated manually, either via WP Admin, WP CLI, or by downloading WordPress.
