WordPress version guidance

Flowpane uses versions reported by your paired WordPress Connector. It does not fingerprint frontend assets or ask plugin vendors about your site. Compatibility awareness is separate from public governance checks and never changes your Site governance score.

Evidence checked: 2026-09-12. Catalogue 2026-09-12.1.

No authoritative dated WordPress EOL used. A declared minimum does not verify every intervening version.

The Connector declares WordPress 6.7 as its minimum. This is separate from the WordPress project's PHP minimum and recommendations. Only the matrix in the compatibility overview is Flowpane-tested.

A hypothetical WordPress 7.2 is unverified until Flowpane tests it; it is not unsupported just because it is newer. This catalogue uses no dated WordPress end-of-life deadline.

Back up your site and database, review release notes, test a copy, then use Dashboard → Updates in WordPress with your maintainer. Follow the official WordPress update guide. Refresh the Connector report afterwards.
