WordPress 5.0 Bebo just was released, a few days after the scheduled date. What the new version brings you can see from here.
What should you do? First you need to think about the following:
- Is it the right time to update?
- Can you work with Gutenberg?
If you have other jobs and can not do in case something goes wrong, it is better to postpone the update. Multiple releases of the new version are already planned, and most likely everything will be more stable in January.
WordPress 5.0, in addition to Gutenberg Editor, also brings changes to the way the platform handles new releases. We could expect the release of two major versions of WordPress per year, with many mini updates in between.
Now, the core team (Core) of WordPress plans to leave the planned release model. The idea is that, without the pressure of deadlines, the platform will be able to make bigger leaps in development as updates that don't make sense are released content.
WordPress 5.0 brings the Gutenberg editor for the first time. Gutenberg changes the way the publications in WordPress. So maybe your editors will struggle with this particular upgrade.
However if you choose to upgrade and can not get Gutenberg, you can install it Classic Editor plugin, and the good old word processor will appear.
Θα πρέπει να αναφέρουμε ότι υπάρχει περίπτωση τα plugins που χρησιμοποιείτε να μην είναι έτοιμα για το WordPress 5.0. Πάρα πολλά από αυτά έχουν ενημερωθεί, αλλά αν χρησιμοποιείτε κάποιο πολύ εξειδικευμένο το οποίο δεν ενημερώνεται συχνά, αποφύγετε την ενημέρωση και επικοινωνήστε με τον developer of the plugin.
Do you need WordPress 5.0?
If there is no compelling reason for the update, you should wait. WordPress 5.0 will be more stable in January than it is now.
If you still choose to upgrade to WordPress 5.0, keep a backup before you begin. This applies to any major software release.
