New Wordpress 6.0 released code named Arturo

**universal4** · 25 May 2022, 12:40 am

Wordprss 6.0 has just been released.

The new code name for Wordpress 6.0 is "Arturo".

Official wordpress announcement of the release.

I am sure many have already seen that that their wordpress sites have been upgraded to a new version.

Personally I keep automatic updates disabled, as I like to take a wait and see attitude, at least for a short time to see how many, if any, issues are discovered by others before taking the plunge.

Sometimes it may only be a case of plugins that may also need to be updated, and some times this takes a bit of time before it is discovered, and workarounds adrdessed or plugin updates to be released.

I have not seen anything yet, but it at this specific time it has only been out half a day so I will keep my eyes open.

According to this article at searchenginejournal, there were planned to be over 1000 changes in this release. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/...leased/451366/

Another article I read stated over 400 bug fixes and over 500 enhancements, so the 1000 figure is probably pretty close.

I don't know about you guys, but when I see that number, it makes one wonder, great, they fixed stuff, what did they break?

I hope for all of us, they did not break a bunch, but I plan to wait a bit to see what others think.

Anyone that sees or recognizes troubles, please let us know.

Thanks for the heads up, got mine set to manual too but always a little nervous of just pressing go before checking with the developers first. Will report back any issues, hopefully nothing to report!

Ha ha, exactly!

Havent tried yet as use a custom theme and it nearly always breaks.. anyone have any feedback?

**newcustomeroffer** · 26 May 2022, 4:57 am

All updated, no issues. Not seeing much in the way of issues at all with this update searching around the topic either which is good news!

**universal4** · 26 May 2022, 2:52 pm

Good to hear so far I have not seen many complaints either, I most likely will still wait a bit, but may choose a site or 2 and run with the update to see how it goes.

Have a read a little on this update, the block locking or whatever they call it may help some less developer types from accidentally deleting an entire block as they are designing etc.

The export feature also might have promise.

Wasn't Arturo a character from Money Heist?

**universal4** · 27 May 2022, 5:17 pm

Yes, that is true but the code name in this case was taken from a jazz musician

Say hello to “Arturo” and WordPress 6.0, inspired by Grammy-winning jazz musician, Arturo O’Farrill. Known for his influence on contemporary Latin jazz, Arturo has pressed more than 15 albums spanning a body of work across five decades.

Just letting you all know, it works like a charm for me. Don't know about others though.

Hello everyone,
As I am newbie I just wanted to know is this update currently available to use in WordPress? Because when I login into my site admin panel I also see this new update of WordPress, but I didn't update it because I think I will lost my data after update...

Ok, there is actually updates to wordpress to version 6.02.

If you have not does so, make a full backup of your database.

In most cases the wordpress update has not completely crashed most sites, and depending on what template you have you likely will not see too many issues.

Be sure your plugins are also updated.

Sounds promising!! Thanks for the heads up, a job for this week.

I believe the crashing mostly comes from the supported PHP versions and people using simplistic plugins that do not require updating and have been written ages ago.

I usually get scared when I have to up the PHP version, as some dependencies are different, some depreciated, some are new. If I get an error 503, takes a while to figure out what's crashing and even if functionality is restored, got to figure out if everything is 100% functional. I see the problems ahead when people start switching to PHP 8.

I see Kinsta are pushing it and offering help to its users.
