How to test the next WordPress release with WordPress Playground
WordPress 6.9 is approaching, and we are in a crucial phase of shipping the last major version in 2025. I'm talking about the testing phase, and do you know that you can contribute to WordPress Core without any special setup?
In this video, I demonstrate how WordPress Playground enables you to access the latest beta or RC version via a direct link. You can test the new features scheduled for 6.9, and check if your Plugins and Themes are compatible with the next WordPress release.
You can apply the same process to future WordPress major releases
