Help4 Builder Updates and WordPress 7 Readiness

Updates and WordPress 7 readiness

Keep live stable while md tests the next WordPress release track.

Live should run production WordPress and the current public Builder Suite package. The md track is where Help4 tests WordPress 7 release-candidate behavior before core upgrades move to customer sites.

Upgrade safety

Do not turn customer sites into the test track.

Release candidates are for testing. Help4 uses md to find issues before live sites get core upgrades.

Package channel

Use /help4-builder-suite/latest.zip for the current public Builder Suite release and /manifest.json for update checks.

Live track

Live Help4 WordPress stays on production WordPress with the current non-beta plugin package.

md beta track

md helps test Builder Suite, Help4 Blank, templates, redirects, forms, commerce, SEO, and admin screens against WordPress 7 RC behavior.

Before WordPress 7

Check plugin updates, theme output, Builder Studio, forms, commerce, redirects, cache purge, rollback, and mobile rendering.

When an update fails

Restore from backup, disable the failing module, keep package redirects intact, and record the exact screen and error.

When to ask Help4

If the site makes money or handles customers, let Help4 run the upgrade and QA instead of guessing in production.
