WordPress 5.3 Deployment Delayed

Upgrades of production environments have been paused due to some sites experiencing JavaScript errors impacting the editing experience within WP Admin. We have completed our upgrades to WordPress 5.3 across all develop and preprod WordPress environments on the VIP Go platform. To have your production environment upgraded, get in touch with us.

What are my next steps?

To ensure your site’s compatibility with WordPress 5.3 we strongly recommend you thoroughly test your non-production environments. We also recommend updating all plugins to their latest versions.

Updated deployment timeline

We will resume upgrading production sites to WordPress 5.3 once we are confident we have resolved the underlying cause. This post will be updated once we have a new date and time for the upgrade.

If you have any testing feedback or questions related to this release, please open a ticket, and we’ll be happy to assist.
