WordPress 5.7 is just around the corner. We’ve tested against a release candidate to ensure our themes and plugins are ready. Only a few small changes relating to blocks were necessary for maintaining compatibility. We took this as an opportunity to also improve accessibility and fix several bugs that were recently reported.
WordPress 5.6 is here. That means it’s time to update your theme and plugins to maintain compatibility. This version of WordPress updated the jQuery library, which broke our mobile menu buttons. Many jQuery events were also deprecated so we have replaced them. Please update your theme and plugins from us to keep your WordPress site humming along nicely.
WordPress 5.5 is out. It has some neat new features like automatic updates for themes and plugins and in-block image editing. There are also changes to the block editor’s HTML markup which means it was necessary for us to update the styling for all of our themes in order to maintain compatibility with WordPress. This update also helps keep our themes’ dropdown menus working on newer versions of iOS for iPhone and iPad.
WordPress 5.4 has been released. Significant behind the scenes changes were made to the block editor. These changes required our themes to be updated. We prepare updates in advance using WordPress release candidates to help ensure that your site is ready for each new version of WordPress. You can update WordPress safely today. Just be sure to update your theme to the latest version as well.
WordPress 5.3 has been released. Today we’re releasing updates for all themes that make them compatible with WordPress 5.3. We recommend that you update your theme, the Church Content plugin and WordPress to keep everything working nicely together.

We have more updates for you today and I also want to share with you about our new theme and work on a sermons plugin.

WordPress 5.2 was released a few days ago and includes several new blocks for use in the Gutenberg editor. Some of the existing blocks were tweaked. All of our themes have been updated to account for these changes. We recommend updating to WordPress 5.2 and updating your theme to the latest version for the best experience.
