17:17 UTC — Our platform team has informed us that they are shifting sites hosted in DFW to their real-time replicas in other origins due to facility cooling issues. No action is required from hosts or users. We are awaiting updates from the data center operator regarding the facility’s cooling systems.

19:55 UTC — We are still redirecting traffic while we wait for cooling issues to be addressed at DFW. Some sites that were hosted at DFW may experience slightly slower speeds, while traffic is re-balanced at failover facilities.

No customer action is needed. Real-time failover is functioning as expected.

Additional information can be found here.

As of 15:10 UTC today we have removed WordPress version 7.0 from the Pressable platform and all sites still using that version have been automatically updated to WordPress 7.1.

Less than 1.2% of Pressable sites remained on 7.0 at the deadline.

If you encounter any issues with your site(s), please reach out to our support team.

23:45UTC: Pressable updated all sites to WordPress version 7.1, unless set to Previous (more info here).

The WP Rocket plugin caused a fatal on WordPress 7.1, so sites with version 3.23.2.1 or older of the WP Rocket plugin were kept on WordPress version 7.0 for now until WP Rocket releases an updated version compatible with 7.1 (UPDATE: WP Rocket released version 3.23.2.2 on August 20th to resolve the 7.1 fatal).
