If you're running WordPress 6.9.0 through 7.0.1, working exploit scripts are already circulating publicly on GitHub — right now, before 7.1 even ships on 19 August. I would not wait for release day on this one. Update the moment 7.1 lands. #WordPress #WordPressSecurity #WebDev #WordCamp #WPGuy https://wpguy.uk/blog/wordpress-71-is-coming-what-business-owners-need-to-know-now/

RE: https://phpc.social/@awoodsnet/116976981979051244 This is a bummer, I used to speak at #WordCamp events all the time. Is it that they just didn't recover from COVID, the organizers got burned out, or something else?

WordPress 7.1 drops on 19 August 2026. Beta 1 landed on 15 July, which means the testing window is already open. I've seen live sites break on smaller releases than this — a checkout or corrupted layout mid-upgrade is not a risk worth taking. My advice: test before August, not after. #WordPress #WordPressDeveloper #WebDevelopment #BusinessWebsites #WordCamp https://wpguy.uk/blog/wordpress-71-is-coming-what-business-owners-need-to-do-now/
