The first beta release of Classic Commerce was released after making 240 commits since the previous release. CC is now considered to be relatively stable. We are now looking for people to test CC in a non-production environment and we’d be grateful for the community’s support.
The fourth - and probably final - beta version of Classic SEO was released. RC1 is due shortly. We are now approaching 40 active installations of Classic SEO.
Technical Outreach
As announced at the end of March in this post New DigitalOcean OpenLiteSpeed ClassicPress 1-Click Application, work was completed on a joint project between the Ecosystem Team and LiteSpeed which resulted in the OpenLiteSpeed ClassicPress 1-Click Application being made available on DigitalOcean.
Take-up to date has been quite slow with only 15 active installations. So, if you’ve got a DO droplet, please use the 1-Click installer. And remember, you can get $100 credit if you sign up to DO using the affiliate link in the post. ClassicPress also gets $25 from each referral.
Currently awaiting details of usage statistics for Softaculous and Installatron. Will update this post if/when I get them.
Update June 4 - Softaculous: “we do not share the statistics to anyone as this is against our company policy”.
