Hi,
I have been holding off from updating WordPress because of a major meltdown I had on my site a few months ago. My site, which is relatively small totally collapsed. CSS was broken, plugins weren’t working, I basically had to rebuild my site. Now, I have three client sites that we need to make the upgrade to. One, a medical site is over 250 pages deep with loads of videos and a church site with a shopping cart for donations, as well as a second site with a shopping cart. I will be performing a total CPanel backup from my hosting provider (InMotion Hosting) and downloading a copy prior to the upgrade.
Is there anything I should be aware of prior to pulling the trigger on this update? I am updating from WordPress 5.4.4. to 5.6.
I am currently using Enfold 4.7.6.3 on one, 4.7.6.4 on the medical site, and 4.5.2 on the church site.Any feedback prior to the upgrade would be appreciated.
Thank You.
Enfold is not offically compatible with WordPress 5.6. If you check in the forum, there are several issues being reported, probably due to the jQuery changes in WP5.6, and possibly resolved by installing the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper plugin. Many folks are holding off the update to 5.6 until Enfold has been updated and is officially compatible. Even then it would be worth trialling on a staging site first if your client sites are complex.
Hi,
We don’t have a set date for the release of the new version unfortunately, but we are working as hard and fast as we can go have it available as soon as we are done with development and testing.
If you are worried about things breaking during updates, then I would recommend copying the site to a staging site, then update there first to check for any problems.
Best regards,
Rikard
