Anchor Host incident

WordPress 7.1 + WP Rocket PHP Fatal

Resolved after 22 minutes, affecting Hosting, on August 19, 2026.

resolved Aug 19, 2026, 09:54 PM UTC

WP Rocket doesn't have a patch yet so we patched it directly with our v3.23.2.2. All customers affected with the WP Rocket + WordPress 7.1 compatible issue should be restored. Whenever WP Rocket does release an official fix, customers should automatically upgrade to that. There were a few other plugins with similar compatible issues with v7.1. Reviewing and fixing as I discover them.
