PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35 are out with fixes for two critical RCE vulnerabilities. Trellis v1.32.1 switches PHP to packages.sury.org, which had the patched builds first. Here's how to upgrade, or apply just the PHP change: discourse.roots.io/t/upgradi…

WordPress sites on Roots Bedrock now work with every WordPress tool in Ploi. Ploi detects the web/wp core directory, so plugins, themes, search and replace, the WP-CLI console, cronjobs and clones all work. Override the core directory if your fork moved it.

🚨 PSA for Radicle users: the latest WordPress security releases (7.0.6, 7.1.2) break Blade views that live outside the theme directory. Front-end fatals with memory exhaustion, wp-admin looks fine. Fixed in Acorn v6.3.0. Update before you update WordPress. If you're using Radicle with WooCommerce, you'll also need changes applied to the sage-woocommerce package. See this topic for more details: discourse.roots.io/t/psa-wor…
