Using WooCommerce? Get ready for WordPress 5.0

26 November 2018

If you’re relying on WooCommerce to power your WordPress website, now might be a good time to review the latest release. This recent 3.5.1 release specifically focuses on improving compatibility with the imminent WordPress 5.0 and Gutenberg release.

WordPress 5.0, which is expected to be a seismic change for WordPress users is still currently projecting a late November 2018 release. Ensuring your site is using the latest stable releases before the planned big date should help minimise any stress or fuss ahead of time.

As ever, we always recommend testing major changes to your website using a staging facility like the one offered on our WordPress Hosting. Our staging feature lets you test changes to your site without ever risking damage to your live site. With the staging facility you can:

1) Copy your live site to the staging area with one click
2) Test any changes in isolated safety
3) Copy your staging site to your live site with one click
4) Roll everything back should something go wrong, with just another click

As ever, if you’d like more information on any of our plans or services, drop us a line to support@34sp.com so we can advise.
