WordPress released a maintenance release on Wednesday evening to fix problems discovered shortly after WordPress 6.4 was released to the public on Tuesday November 7th.
Two of issues were somewhat serious in that they affected the operation of certain plugins and could cause issues for sites encountering either of the two problems.
The third one was a typo that resulted in a misconfigured notice in the admin panel.
Three Issues Fixed
- Typo
- Removed code caused backward compatibility issues
- Critical bug causes download to fail
Typo In Code – Minor Cosmetic Issue
The typo issue was relatively minor. It affected how a nag screen appeared in the administrator panel, causing it to stretch across the top of the page.

Backward Compatibility Bug
This bug was one of those random things that can’t always be accounted for.
