WordPress 6.6

WordPress 6.6 was recently released, and as always, we’ve updated our WordPress one-click installer to automatically install the latest version for new WordPress sites. WordPress 6.6 works fine on our servers (make sure you’re using a recent version of PHP for your site).

If you’ve previously installed an older version of WordPress, you should update it from within your WordPress Dashboard.

A nice new feature of WordPress 6.6 is that it if you’ve enabled automatic plugin updates (which you should, for security reasons), it will do extra checks after each automatic update to ensure your site still works — and if it doesn’t, it will automatically undo the update to get your site working again. This gives you even more confidence that turning on automatic updates is a good idea: it keeps your site secure, and it gives you one less thing to worry about doing yourself manually. We enable automatic updates on all our own WordPress sites, and we think that everyone else should, too.

PHP versions 8.1.29, 8.2.21, and 8.3.9

The PHP developers recently released versions 8.1.29, 8.2.21, and 8.3.9 that fix several bugs. We’ve upgraded the PHP 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 series on our servers as a result.

Customers should not notice any change, but as always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any trouble.

4th of July 2024 holiday hours

Our business offices will be closed on Thursday, July 4 to observe the US legal holiday.

As always, we’ll provide same-day support for time-sensitive issues via our ticket and e-mail systems. However, questions that aren’t time-sensitive (including most billing matters) may not be answered until the next day, and telephone support (via callbacks) will be available only for urgent problems.
