Just updated my blog to WordPress v6.0 which was a substantial release most of which seems to revolve around block themes. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.

My TwentyTwelve parent theme was updated to version 3.7 but none of the changes affected my child theme, so I didn’t have to do anything with it. They still haven’t improved the selected text color selection so it’s not hidden slightly behind the right-side settings bar beyond what 5.9.2 did. I made this post about it: [Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)] Text Color Custom Popup below Side Bar. Other than that, the update seems to have gone well. 🙂

Just updated my blog to WordPress v5.9.3 which was a maintenance release with several bug fixes. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.

No themes were updated so I didn’t have to do anything to my TwentyTwelve child theme. They haven’t improved the selected text color selection so it’s not hidden slightly behind the right-side settings bar beyond what 5.9.2 did. I made this post about it: [Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)] Text Color Custom Popup below Side Bar. Other than that, the update seems to have gone well. 🙂

Just updated my blog to WordPress v5.9.2 which was a security and single bug fix release. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.

No themes were updated so I didn’t have to do anything to my TwentyTwelve child theme. They haven’t improved the selected text color selection so it’s not hidden slightly behind the right-side bar beyond what 5.9.1 did. I made this post about it: [Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)] Text Color Custom Popup below Side Bar. Other than that, the update seems to have gone well. 🙂

Just updated my blog to WordPress v5.9.1 which was a maintenance and bug fix release. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.

No themes were updated to I didn’t have to do anything to my TwentyTwelve child theme. So far the upgrade seems to have gone well. 🙂 They even improved the selected text color selection so it’s not so much hidden behind the right-side bar. I made this post about it: [Advanced Editor Tools (previously TinyMCE Advanced)] Text Color Custom Popup below Side Bar.

I just updated my blog to WordPress v5.9 which contains quite a few updates including a new Twenty TwentyTwo theme that’s designed around Gutenberg blocks. I’ll explore this theme later. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.

My Twenty Twelve theme was also updated to version 3.6 but did not contain any changes I would need to make to my child theme. So far the update seems to have gone well. 🙂
