Our current WordPress support policy (supporting down to the second latest major version) was defined based on WordPress core’s previous fast-paced major update release cycle (three times per year). However, the release cycle is slowing down now, and it is planned to release only once next year. In light of this change, we revise our support policy for WordPress and PHP.
In the new policy, we support:
- WordPress: The latest major version (at the time of the plugin’s major release) and greater.
- PHP: Versions recommended by the latest major version of WordPress.
Contact Form 7’s next major version, 6.2, will be released in the first half of 2026. The latest major WordPress version at the time will probably be 6.9; therefore, Contact Form 7 6.2 will support WordPress 6.9+. And, because WordPress 6.9 recommends PHP 8.3 or greater, Contact Form 7 6.2 will require PHP 8.3+ to work.
In addition to Contact Form 7, we will apply this new policy to any other WordPress plugin product we develop.
