Brilliant work from Peter Wilson on the WordPress Performance team's improvements to WP_Query through smarter caching and optimisation techniques. #WCEU #WCEU26

WordPress 7.1 is targeted for August, and it’s expected to ship the move from React 18 to React 19. For most projects, this should be smooth. But long-deprecated APIs like ReactDOM.render(), findDOMNode(), and function component defaultProps are being removed.

4 June

Once WordPress ships React 19, those deprecated patterns move from warnings to potential breakages. Our recommendation: test now with the latest Gutenberg plugin, enable SCRIPT_DEBUG, check the browser console, and use the official React codemods where possible.
