March 25, 2026 — I am going to share to test WordPress 7.0 in a safe, non-production environment, such as a staging site or WordPress Playground. Testing on a live site is strongly discouraged due to potential instability.

How to Install WordPress 7.0 for Testing

Once your testing environment is ready, you can install the WordPress 7.0 Beta or Release Candidate (RC) version using one of the following methods:

1. Using the WordPress Beta Tester Plugin (Easiest)
Install and activate the WordPress Beta Tester plugin on your test site.
Navigate to Tools → Beta Testing.
Select the “Bleeding edge” channel and “Beta/RC Only” stream, then click Save Changes.
Go to Dashboard → Updates and install the latest WordPress 7.0 version.
2. Via Direct Download
Download the WordPress 7.0 zip file from the official WordPress.org announcements.
Install it manually on your test environment.
3. Using WP-CLI (Advanced)

Run the following command in your terminal:

wp core update –version=7.0-RC1
Replace RC1 with the latest available beta or release candidate version.

May 30, 2024 — Are you interested in helping people learn how to use, design, or develop with WordPress – but not sure where to get started?

The WordPress.org Training team’s Guide Program is a nifty pathway geared to helping folks take their first steps toward contributing, by matching experienced team members with new contributors. Over the course of about a month, each Guide helps a new contributor begin contributing to the Training team, in whatever area most interests them, whether it’s translating content, creating video lessons, running an online workshop, or taking notes at a weekly team meeting.

During this informal Q&A with Training team members Sumit Singh and Muhibul Haque, you’ll learn how the Guide program works, why it’s so rewarding – both for the Guide and the new contributor – and why it might be just the thing you’ve been looking for to help you get more involved with the WordPress project.
