Update to WordPress 7

26th August 2026

I have started the roll out of WordPress 7 to the Freebies Network. This is a major update to the WordPress core and is expected to improve the performance and security of the platform. Security updates are a major concern due to recent AI generated attacks.

However as its a huge update we are taking a cautious approach and will be rolling it out to the Freebies Network in stages.

This has currenly been rolled out to WOW Freebies Ireland and Free Stuff World and has led to some usability issues.

I am working through these but if you notice any issues please let us know and I will investigate and fix them ASAP before we roll it out to the rest of the Freebies Network.
