Hi! Long time no talk…congratulations to @yellow-swordfish and @mr-papa on the business migration, and thank you for all the hard work.

Diving in the the new updates and have two quick questions:

1. I see a lot of CSS changes in the Reboot theme, but are there no Template edits? We made a Reboot child theme and just wondering if I need to do any major file comparisons or if there is a list of template edits as some past major updates have required.

2. Do you recommend we update SimplePress before the WordPress 5.0 update, or after? Or does it matter?

Thanks again.

Hi – from the notes we made as the development progressed it looks like only CSS related changes were done to the reboot theme between the last version of 5.x and 6.0.

For your second question, I would update SP first.  We only tested SP 6.x with WP 5.0. We didn’t go back and test SP 5.x ourselves though there shouldn’t be any problems. And at least one customer we know has updated to WP 5.x while using SP 5.x.

Thanks!
