    Dear Dev- and support team,
    What’s the current status regarding Enfold with the upcoming release of WordPress 5.0 on November 19th?
    Should we update or wait until later?
    Thanks!

    Hey meuwessen,

    WordPress 5.0 is a major release, and it’s very likely that there will be some problems with the Gutenberg editor. My advise would be to not update your live site until you know that everything works on staging version. Here are a few pointers on updating safely to WordPress 5.0.

    Best regards,

    i disabled on the moment the automatic updates at all via wp-config
    f.e. :

    you can disable automatic updates in WordPress by adding this line of code in your wp-config.php file:

    define( 'WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );

    This will disable all automatic WordPress updates.

    However if you want to receive minor core updates, but disable theme and plugin updates, then you can do so by adding the following filters in your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin.

    Disable automatic WordPress plugin updates:
    add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_false' );

    Disable automatic WordPress theme updates:
    add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_false' );

    or on WP Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates

    Or nice summary : http://tutorialspage.com/enabledisable-wordpress-automatic-updates/

    so maybe this would be for the next time a good combination to have minor updates (security relevant things) enabled and major core updates disabled till WP 5.0 is stable and all Plugins and Themes are fit for it
    this to functions.php of your child-theme:

    
add_filter( 'allow_major_auto_core_updates', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'allow_minor_auto_core_updates', '__return_true' );

    But I also like to be convinced in other ways, if e.g. the mods don’t think this is necessary. I have always liked to have control over when and if I update. Mostly I wait for the first bugfixes.

    If you are curious you should make a copy of your page with Duplicator and test the updates there.

    Hi Rikard,

    Is the CLASSIC EDITOR plugin going to allow a fully functioning ENFOLD template, and, just as importantly, WOOCOMMERCE to function in that unchanged environment?

    (…which is where the money is for many of us, and especially for our clients!)

    Thanks for your time

    Hi Stevo,

    That is what it should work like yes, let’s hope that the plugin will be preinstalled when 5.0 is actually released. Here are a few pointers on what to do before updating to WordPress 5.0.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
