I did want to give you a heads up that it's on the way. A few bugs have already been squashed but there are a few more I'm waiting to get fixed. I love the WordPress community, everyone works together to make sure these major upgrades and roll-outs are as smooth as possible with issues fixed quickly. Keep a lookout in your weekly client <a href=\"https:\/\/kaleidaweb.com\/2026\/maintenance\">maintenance<\/a> report.
