WordPress 6.9: Please wait to update!

New major WordPress versions come with hundreds of changes and fixes (yay!)…but often big, new bugs, too (boo!). 🐞 This update in particular has a lot of changes.

Please wait to update — we’ll announce when it’s good to go.

P.S. Many plugins will also be releasing updates to ensure compatibility with the new version of WordPress core, so numbers of pending plugin updates may seem higher than usual but this common with a major core update.
