WordPress (composer managed) upstream 1.32.3 update now available

September 10, 2024

The 1.32.3 update is now available for the WordPress (composer managed) upstream. This release changes the COOKIEPATH and SITECOOKIEPATH constants in the application.pantheon.php file to resolve an issue that led to failed nonce authentication checks in some admin pages.

For more details, refer to the WordPress (Composer Managed) changelog.

Action required

To benefit from these updates and ensure your site is using the most current version, apply the update to your WordPress (composer managed) site or custom upstream.

Applying updates

This update should not affect files that would have been edited in site codebases. The only file changed by this update is the Pantheon-maintained filters.php file in the app/mu-plugins directory. However, if any conflicts occur, it is recommended to manually resolve them by running the following command:

git pull -Xtheirs https://github.com/pantheon-upstreams/wordpress-composer-managed.git main
git push origin master

For assistance with managing merge conflicts, refer to our documentation on auto-resolving via the dashboard or manually resolving via the command line.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If you find you are still seeing errors in the browser console or you cannot create posts or pages, it is recommended that you clear your cookies and log back into your WordPress site. This will ensure that the new COOKIEPATH and SITECOOKIEPATH constants are set correctly in your browser.
  • If you find that your composer.json was overwritten when applying upstream updates, refer to this troubleshooting guide to resolve the issue.
