WordPress 6.0 Beta 4 is now available for testing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beta 4 was not part of the originally published development cycle. It is aimed at providing an opportunity for testing some specific issues that were resolved since Beta 3. WordPress will continue with the regularly scheduled release milestones on May 3rd, 2022, with the RC1 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This version of the WordPress software is under development<\/strong>. Please do not install, run, and test this version of WordPress on a production or mission-critical website. Instead, it is recommended that you test Beta 4 on a test server and site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can test WordPress 6.0 Beta 4 in three ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 1: <\/strong>Install and activate the WordPress Beta Tester<\/a> plugin (select the \u201cBleeding edge\u201d channel and \u201cBeta\/RC Only\u201d stream).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 2: <\/strong>Direct download the beta version here (zip)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 3:<\/strong> Use WP-CLI to test: wp core update –version=6.0-beta4.
Do not use this option if your filesystem is case-insensitive.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current target for the final 6.0 release is May 24, 2022, which is in less than a month! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
