I’ve just released version 1.14.5 of the CUNY Academic Commons. This maintenance release is a major-update release for plugins and themes. It also includes an update to the WordPress 5.0.x series, which features the new “Block Editor”. Blog authors have the choice of whether to use the Block Editor or the legacy Classic Editor; existing sites default to Classic, while new sites default to Block.

The release also addresses the following:

• Remove duplicate content from groupblog creation screen
• Fix bug that caused privacy settings not to be applied properly after server upgrades
• Condense the sitewide footer
