Description

WordPress 6.0 is imminent! Are your plugins ready?

WordPress 6.0 is scheduled to be released on May 24th. Are your plugins ready?

After testing your plugins and ensuring compatibility, it only takes a few moments to change the readme "Tested up to" value to 6.0. This information provides peace of mind to users and helps encourage them to update to the latest version of WordPress. You can find more information about plugin readmes here: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/how-your-readme-txt-works/.

Here are the current "Tested up to:" values for each of your plugins:

• https://wordpress.org/plugins/creative-commons/ (tested up to 5.4.10)

For each compatible plugin, you do not need to release a new version — simply update the stable version's "Tested up to" value to 6.0 in your readme file. Plugins that are not updated as tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress have a notice displayed on their WordPress.org plugin page noting that the plugin may no longer be maintained or supported. It's in everyone's best interest to continue testing plugins against WordPress versions and updating that value.

Looking to get more familiar with 6.0? Read this roundup post on the core development blog to learn more about the various changes coming to core with this major release: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/05/03/wordpress-6-0-field-guide/

There are a few areas that need specific focus as plugin-related changes are coming in 6.0:

• Changes to do_parse_request filter to improve performance by reducing unnecessary queries and lookups: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/04/27/changes-to-do_parse_request-filter-in-wordpress-6-0/

• New plugin_install_description filter that allows for modification of the plugin card description on the Add Plugins screen: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55480

• Convert apply_filters() into a proper variadic function: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53218

• The ability to adjust the gap between images in the Gallery block was added. This means that Themes or plugins that use a right margin setting to manually adjust the Gallery image spacing may need to be updated to instead override the gap setting: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/05/03/block-editor-miscellaneous-dev-notes-for-wordpress-6-0/

• A new flow has been introduced so that when someone adds a new page, specific patterns for page creation are displayed and able to be selected. Any theme or plugin can register a pattern with core/post-content block support and make the modal with the patterns appear: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/05/03/page-creation-patterns-in-wordpress-6-0/

• Two new hooks have been added to filter retrieve password emails: send_retrieve_password_email can be used to filter whether to send the retrieve password email and retrieve_password_notification_email can be used to filter the contents of the reset password notification email sent to the user: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/54690

• WP_User_Query will accept fields options: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/04/29/wp_user_query-now-accepts-fields-options-in-wordpress-6-0/

• Object type specific registration hooks are available allowing you to directly hook into your custom post types and custom taxonomies: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/05/02/object-type-specific-registration-hooks-in-6-0/

To ensure compatibility, here is how to download the latest release candidate for testing with your plugin: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/beta-testing/.

Thank you for all you do for the WordPress community, and we hope you will enjoy 6.0 as much as we do.

Will this addon be updated to 5.8.x?

[Enkerli]

Like @NicoHood, also very curious about a 5.8.x update.

Just mentioned this plugin during a Sprint report for our new site, as it'd be a neat solution for us. The site is a merge of two separate sites which have been publishing content with distinct licenses (CC-BY-NC-SA vs. CC-BY-NC-ND). We also want to make it really seamless what licenses people can choose for future items. So, I had high hopes for the plugin.

Given the fact that the plugin was flagged as untested through the last 3 major versions and that the last changes occurred 5 months ago, the webdev was reluctant to consider the plugin and might elect to do things manually.

Any insight as to the roadmap would be useful.

We are prioritizing this task for the current development milestone.
