Hello, tomorrow 20/5 , the new version 7 will be released, will you upload it immediately to local wp application ?? We will be able, at least for a few days, to return to the previous version 6.9.4 if version 7 has issues on the local staging site ??? thank you
Hi, @giorgosd1! Local will fetch newer versions of WordPress when they’re available, including version 7. You won’t need to upgrade Local, just make sure you’re running the latest version.
The team has tested Local with WordPress 7 and found no issues. If a site you’re developing locally has issues, you can still downgrade WordPress.
The quickest way to downgrade to 6.9 is to start your site, back it up, then use the “site shell” option and run:
wp core update --version=6.9 --force
You can also try new pre-release versions of WordPress in Local the same way (for example, wp core update --version=7.0-RC4 --force) or with the WordPress beta tester plugin.
You mean the latest version of Local Wp ? I run version 10.0.0 ( fow windows ) as i remember .wp version 7 has been released and i am waiting to see new wordpress version on local wp application , thanks .
Yes, now that WordPress 7 is out, Local will automatically download the latest version when creating a new site. You’ll see the version reflected in the site info for new sites:
For existing sites, you’ll see the option to update to WordPress 7 once you start the site:
Downgrading works as I described in the previous reply.
