End-of-Year 2026 Deploy Freezes

Published on

On the dates below, WP Cloud will not deploy WordPress core or PHP updates. It will also pause its regular weekday updates for client-managed externals, plugins, and themes. Freezing deploys on these high-traffic dates helps keep the platform stable for WP Cloud clients’ publishers and stores.

WP Cloud may still deploy during a freeze to address security issues or other critical events.
