Plugin Compatibility Checks

WordPress will now automatically determine if your site’s version of PHP is compatible with installed plugins. If the plugin requires a higher version of PHP than your site currently uses, WordPress will not allow you to activate it, preventing potential compatibility errors.

This morning we updated WordPress to 5.1.1 which is a maintenance and security release.

The primary focuses of 5.1.1 are:

• A pair of security fixes that handle how comments are filtered and then stored in the database.
• Hosts can now offer a button for their users to update PHP.
• The recommended PHP version used by the “Update PHP” notice can now be filtered.
• Several minor bug fixes.

The Notre Dame Sites network has been updated to 5.1.
