    I think this is a post that everyone will be interested in getting the answer.

    Should we ask you if BPS (Free/Pro) is ready before updating WordPress to a major X.Y version?

    Or does BPS have no dependency on the version of WordPress unlike other plugins?

    If you can tag this thread “WordPress”, I’m sure it will help other new customers.

    Like any good coder and developer I test WordPress Beta and RC versions with BPS/BPS Pro as soon as they are available from wordpress.org.

    Which means that like any (not good but) great coder, your plugin is always ready when the WP update is released? :-p

    And by the way, it’s funny you consider normal to be 100% ready when a WP udate is released because I see so many plugins that have bugs and have to fix it (this is usually  not an internal problem to their plugin but more a cross compatibility issue with another one).

    Well nobody is perfect.  I missed something in the WP 5.6 upgrade.  Luckily it is not critical.  So yeah you can test all of your plugin’s features and still miss something.  BPS is relatively easy and quick to test.  BPS Pro on the other hand takes 2-3 hours of testing with any new version of WP.

    Okay, so does that mean that it’s better to ask you before updating?

    In that case, why not create a “WP updates” thread that we could add to our bookmarks for easy access?

    Nope, asking me about things while I am working on those things will only slow the process down.  Unless I croak of Covid then assume I am on point. 😉  I hate making mistakes. I have only made 3 really bad ones in the last 9.5 years. So I quadruple check everything I create or do in BPS and BPS Pro.

    Yeah, that’s why I suggested that you create a WP thread so that we don’t bother you one by one.
    But let’s do as you wish. 😉

    Yeah I get what you were saying, but I am trying to do less “extra” things since there are not enough hours in the day to get done what I want to get done.
