WordPress 5.0 to be Released Thursday, December 6

4 Dec 2018

With less than three days advance notice, the folks at WordPress have announced version 5.0 (Gutenberg) will be released on Thursday, December 6. You can read the announcement here: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/12/04/new-5-0-target-date/But not to worry - in anticipation of this update...

AUTOMATIC WORDPRESS UPDATES HAVE BEEN DISABLED FOR ALL DIVI PRO HOSTING ACCOUNTS


You won't have to worry about your site breaking due to this update, which will include a new editor. Although updating to WordPress 5.0 is NOT recommended at this time, you are able to do it manually from within your hosting cPanel. To do that, go to your cPanel, scroll to the bottom and select Softaculous Apps Installer, then select Installations in the Softaculous screen. You'll see a small circular arrow icon that will allow you to update. It is strongly recommended you backup your site before updating.
