WordPress 5.0 will probably be released Thursday, December 6th 2018

WordPress 5.0 includes the Gutenberg editor, giving users a brand new editing experience. While we initially see this as an improvement, we doubt if everyone is ready for it at this point.

WordPress 5.0 is still software in development, so we don’t recommend you run it on a production site, but it’s advisable to test your site with the new version to make sure there are no issues and to allow time to fix anything that does go wrong. Please contact us if you need your website tested with WordPress 5 and we’ll be happy to take a look and provide an estimate for testing.
