Major update, awesome. /s
As someone who manages a network of 250+ WordPress websites - these PHP updates are killing me! As soon as I'm done helping clients upgrade/fix their incompatible themes/plugins and custom code, a new version is out! Even with great tools, the process for about 10% of my network is a nightmare.
While I appreciate the work, it's not very satisfying and for many clients very frustrating to pay for something they know nothing about, just to "keep the lights on".
The plugin/theme developers usually develop with older versions of PHP in mind, lot's of plugins still work even with 5.x versions...
For my WP sites I just stick with "two major versions behind" workflow and I don't encounter many problems.
Am I doing it wrong?
