Highlights

WordPress 5.5 Check-in

During the meeting on Wednesday, August 12, 2020 some issues were raised which appeared with the release of WordPress 5.5. This week we checked back with the hosting team members to see if they got solved and if new ones appeared. @mike brought up the following issues:

In general it looks like the removal of jQuery Migrate was a bigger deal then expected.

As a reminder, the support team is maintaining a “Read first” list here:

Hosting Team Time

WordCamp US / 24 Hour Contributor Day

WordCamp US 2020 won’t take place as planned before but the team is looking into an 24 hour online Contributor Day. Last week we saw a few people raising their hands to volunteer, help, or simply attend. If you want to join the hosting team on the 24h CD drop by the slack channel 🙂

Open floor

As the Servehappy recommendation for PHP versions was moved forward, @clorith asked the attendees on how they are dealing with PHP version migrations.
