WordPress 6.7 Beta 2 is now ready for testing!
This beta version of the WordPress software is under development. Please do not install, run, or test this version of WordPress on production or mission-critical websites. Instead, it is recommended you evaluate Beta 2 on a test server and site.
You can test WordPress 6.7 Beta 2 in four ways:
| Plugin | Install and activate the WordPress Beta Tester plugin on a WordPress install. (Select the “Bleeding edge” channel and “Beta/RC Only” stream). |
|---|---|
| Direct Download | Download the Beta 2 version (zip) and install it on a WordPress website. |
| Command Line | Use the following WP-CLI command:wp core update --version=6.7-beta2 |
| WordPress Playground | Use the 6.7 Beta 2 WordPress Playground instance to test the software directly in your browser without the need for a separate site or setup. |
The current target date for the final release of WordPress 6.7 is November 12, 2024. Get an overview of the 6.7 release cycle, and check the Make WordPress Core blog for 6.7-related posts in the coming weeks for more information.

A Beta 2 haiku
Beta 2 arrives,
October’s code settles in,
Change rustles like leaves.
Props to @jeffpaul for proofreading and review.
