\u201cThe best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today\u201d<\/em>
\n-Elbert Hubbard<\/p>\n

The above quote stands true for WordPress 5.0 release too. Before, the final version comes in to play, why not prepare ourselves and learn more about its calibre and usability. So that when it finally arrives, we are all set to take the bull by its horns. Let\u2019s see if you and your site is WordPress 5.0 ready or not!!<\/p>\n

-Are you ready with the back-up?<\/h3>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

Any change small-time or big is important, ensure that you create a backup of your WordPress site; the files and database for this major update. When the release happens, there is a strong possibility of your site being crashed so always backup your site.<\/p>\n

-Are you aware of the user handbook?<\/h3>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

As an active user of WordPress you must be aware of the Gutenberg Handbook which includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Designer and Developer handbook:<\/em> Herein one can learn everything about blocks, enhancing the site. It also guides you on how to create themes and explore the features of the new editor.<\/li>\n
  2. User handbook:<\/em> It gives information about the attributes of Gutenberg editor; its affect on your site and further guides you about creating beautiful content.<\/li>\n
  3. Contributor handbook:<\/em> As a writer, publisher or business owner you can contribute by giving valuable suggestions related to the upcoming WordPress 5.0 version, the new editor, testing and much more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    -Are you using a staging environment?<\/h3>\n

    \"WordPress<\/p>\n

    A staging environment refers to a clone of your website that is not available for public view. With web hosts such as WP Engine or SiteGround, you can explore the changes and your site\u2019s compatibility in a testing environment safely before WordPress 5.0 goes live.<\/p>\n

    -Are your Plugins compatible?<\/h3>\n

    \"Are<\/p>\n

    Some plugins might not behave well to the updated version which is normal. Before, progressing to WordPress 5.0, check that all your plugins are updated. Search for the plugins in the database, a table (see example below<\/em>) will appear in front of you with different plugin names and a Yes or No<\/em> stating its compatibility to the new editor in WordPress 5.0. One can also install \u201cHealth check Plugin\u201d to detect any issues, if any.<\/p>\n

    \"WordPress<\/p>\n

    -Are your themes ready?<\/h3>\n

    \"WordPress<\/p>\n

    WordPress 5.0 most probably should work great with every theme. Certain features like block and image styling still need to be updated in existing plugins of your website. So, its best to explore and update WordPress themes and see how it works on front end in alliance with Gutenberg editor. There are many customised themes available with respect to alignment, layouts, spacing etc. which are in sync with the WordPress 5.0 updates.<\/p>\n
