FAQPage Schema
How do I check WordPress plugin compatibility before upgrading Gutenberg?▼

Check WordPress plugin compatibility by auditing version requirements, detecting deprecated WordPress functions, and validating block.json schemas to surface potential breakages before upgrading Gutenberg.

What does validating block.json schemas do for Gutenberg block compatibility?▼

Validating block.json schemas ensures your Gutenberg blocks meet current API standards by verifying apiVersion fields and detecting deprecated wp.* APIs, which prevents upgrade-induced failures in your WordPress plugins and themes.

Can I use a compatibility audit for PHP plugins and theme integrations?▼

Yes, you can apply a compatibility audit to PHP plugins, Block-based components, and theme integrations to verify package usage, detect deprecated WordPress functions, and ensure overall project health across WordPress and Gutenberg releases.

What is the best way to detect deprecated WordPress APIs in a codebase?▼

The best way to detect deprecated WordPress APIs is running an automated compatibility check that scans your PHP plugins and block components for outdated wp.* APIs, validating them against current WordPress and Gutenberg version requirements.

Why does my Gutenberg block break after a WordPress upgrade?▼

Your Gutenberg block breaks after a WordPress upgrade due to deprecated wp.* APIs, incorrect apiVersion fields, or invalid block.json schemas, which a comprehensive compatibility audit identifies to prevent upgrade-induced failures.
