A new version of WordPress, WordPress 5.6 “Simone” is now available and steadily WP sites are updating to the newer version. Likewise, we are ready to welcome the big update as well. Catch Themes is now WordPress 5.6 Ready! Along with WordPress 5.6, all of our themes are PHP 8 compatible as well.

The new updated WordPress version included many crucial updates and changes. For instance, a brand new default theme, Twenty Twenty One has been released along with a beautiful pastel color palette.  New in-built block patterns have been introduced to paste your ideas and creations. Moreover, other crucial updates include core auto-update, PHP 8 support, improved accessibility, jQuery updates, improved site health feature, and more. You can check out the full changes in the 5.6 update here.

We have been staying updated and preparing ourselves for the 5.6 release since its inception. Since the release has now shipped out, we’re more than happy to announce that all of our WordPress Themes have been updated and are now WordPress 5.6 Ready with PHP 8 compatibility.

We have made sure that all of our WordPress Themes (both Free and Pro) are completely compatible with WordPress 5.6. You will not face any difficulties or issues with our themes after upgrading to WordPress 5.6. However, you need to make sure you are running the latest update from us.

We’re very happy to serve you with our WordPress 5.6 Ready WordPress Themes.

If you still find any issues regarding our themes and WP 5.6, you can always report them to our Support Forum. We are always here to help.

Since the new version includes several major changes, it is sure that thousands of themes and plugins are not compatible with the new editor and might bring issues to your website. So, we recommend that you do not run the update directly on your production site. Instead, consider setting up a test site to play around with the newest version first. And if everything seems fine for you then you can go to your main site.
