Block updates – to be done
I haven’t yet had a look at any block changes in the newer versions of WordPress core, WooCommerce or Jetpack.
Problems experienced with the 5.5 udpate
Having upgraded WordPress to version 5.5 before any plugins or themes I encountered a couple of problems in the form of unwanted messages. I haven’t yet experienced a problem requiring the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper plugin.
Unwanted messages
Deprecated: wp_make_content_images_responsive is deprecated since version 5.5.0!
Use wp_filter_content_tags() instead.
in /home/customer/www/bobbingwide.org.uk/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4773Notice: register_rest_route was called incorrectly.
The REST API route definition for yoast/v1/get_head
is missing the required permission_callback argument.
For REST API routes that are intended to be public,
use __return_true as the permission callback. And four messages from Genesis. e.g.
Notice: register_rest_route was called incorrectly.
The REST API route definition for genesis/v1/layouts/(?P<type>[a-z0-9,_-]+)
is missing the required permission_callback argument.
For REST API routes that are intended to be public,
use __return_true as the permission callback. For the register_rest_route messages we were also told to that the message was added in version 5.5. and to see Debugging in WordPress for more information.
It looked like I had to update WordPress SEO (was at 14.3) and the Genesis Theme Framework (at 3.3.2 ) to stop getting these Deprecated messages.

WordPress 5.3 reparsed
WordPress 5.3 “Kirk” was released on 12th November 2019.
It has now been reparsed on core.wp-a2z.org. Other subdomains no longer contain the WordPress dynamic API reference. Instead, whenever they encounter a WordPress core API, they link to the documentation in core. This is similar to the links to the PHP reference.
A summary view of the contents of each of the sites is available.

WordPress 5.3 “Kirk” – block updates
WordPress 5.3 – “Kirk” – was released on 12th November 2019.
- The new block in WordPress 5.3 is Group – core/group.
There are also many changes to the core and core-embed blocks.
I’m now going through the blocks catalogued in core.wp-a2z.org and updating the documentation as necessary.
Group – core/group
A block that groups other blocks.
WordPress 5.3 “Kirk” – API reference being rebuilt
WordPress 5.3 “Kirk” was released in 12th November 2019.
I noticed some problems with the existing API reference so decided to completely rebuild it, for every subdomain, starting with core.wp-a2z.org, then moving on to the other domains.
I ran it yesterday on core and checked it today – 14th November.
It’s not looking good. Not at all!
Sorry, I’ll try again. I think it might have been a problem with PHP 7.3
Meanwhile, why not have a look at the 74 blocks delivered by WordPress core.
WordPress 5.2.4 or 5.3-RC1
WordPress 5.2.4 was released on 14th October 2019, WordPress 5.3 Release Candidate 1 followed soon after on the 16th. We should be parsing v5.2.4 here and start working with 5.3 locally.
WordPress 5.2.3 now parsed
WordPress v5.2.3, a security and maintenance release, was made available on 5th September 2019. It has now been parsed on all subdomains of wp-a2z.org
