I have a few WordPress sites, some more important than others. A minor one is already migrated to ClassicPress but my most important one - at the moment I’m not prepared to take the risk until 1.0 officially launches.
So, question. Is the migration plugin going to be maintained for a while? Is it expected to support forthcoming WordPress releases - currently we are at 5.0.1, will 5.0.2 etc. be supported?
There was also talk on slack about updating it to 5.0.2.
Based on track record so far and the talk, I’d say that it will be kept updated to allow people to continue migrating from WordPress as Gutenberg and blocks is rolled out through menus, widgets and so on in phase 2 and later.
Yeah, you could do it by doing the “migration without using the plugin” method, but I can’t say for sure if that is safe or would work. That’s why I say wait until the core team can answer you.
We plan to support 5.0.1 (and future ones we can support). However, you are correct, right now the plugin doesn’t support 5.0.1 but we are working on it
Currently, we need to release a new version of the migration plugin for each new WordPress version. This is not ideal, but “supporting” WP versions when we haven’t actually tested them is also not ideal. Open to ideas and suggestions there.
You can add the code in your theme functions.php like @ozfiddler wrote, or since it is mostly an one off action to migrate to CP, you can just change the version number in plugin folder /lib/admin-page.php:318
Thanks Christos. I was just trying to do another site with that line in functions.php and it wasn’t working for some reason. Your method did it though.
