Upgrade to WordPress 6.9 March 13, 2026

On Friday, March 13 from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., blog.torontomu.ca will undergo infrastructure maintenance. During this time, blog creators and visitors may experience a brief outage of up to 5 minutes.


We will be upgrading to the WordPress 6.9 release, “Gene”. This release introduces a new Notes feature that allows authors to streamline collaborations on posts. Authors can also now access the Command Palette from any part of the dashboard (Ctrl + K or Command + K). New Abilities API, accessibility improvements and performance enhancements round out the release highlights.


How will my blog be impacted?

During the process, a brief service interruption of 60 seconds to 5 minutes is expected and normal to occur.

If any issues related to the upgrade come to light, they will be added to the bottom of this post.

After the maintenance is complete, please contact us if you have any issues with areas of your site that worked prior to the update.
