You may already have spotted that WordPress 4.2 is out. Follow that link to get the low-down. Safe to say, as we reported earlier, that this release is mostly about incremental improvements, rather than any dramatic leaps – except for users in certain foreign languages, for whom improvements in handling their character sets will be very welcome.
It’s been quite a week for WordPress updates, with the mass plugin release followed by the WordPress 4.1.2 security release, and now this. Just to confirm: if you’re on the current release of UpdraftPlus (1.9.64 / 2.9.64) then you’re already compatible with WordPress 4.2. (The previous 1.9.63 / 2.9.63 release made a week before for WP 4.2 compatibility won’t do it – as some more changes went into the final release of WP 4.2).
As ever, if you’ve got UpdraftPlus Premium installed, then it can take a helpful automatic backup of everything before you update to WordPress 4.2. So, if WP 4.2 causes a problem, you’re covered with a backup. If you’ve not yet got UpdraftPlus Premium, please do take a look!
