This server is “frozen” until January 16.

On Wednesday January 11, CIS will begin updating the software for this WordPress server. There will be two significant effects of this work:

  1. While these web pages will continue to be available for viewing throughout the process, the sites will be frozen– meaning that site builders will not be able to make changes to their sites– until Monday January 16.
  2. After the upgrade is completed, the platform will be running version 6.0 of WordPress, which will include a number of changes to the user interface for site builders, most significantly the default use of a modern “block editor,” in place of the traditional text editor.

If you have questions about the change or about using the new software version, please direct them to the CIS Service Desk or to wpadmins@vassar.edu.
