FYI WP Engine doesn't plan to automatically update WP Core to the v7.4.1 security release for 'weeks'

29 October 2026 at 12:33

For reference, we use a number of different hosts and most of them update WP Core within 6 hours. We've been noticing that WP Engine always seems late and have been running them manually.

I opened a ticket today to talk to support about the timeframe for v7.4.1 updates, and they told me that automatic updates for the release will occur weeks from today to allow for testing. I pressed them a bit on the RCE fix (no published CVE or POC) and the eMudhra certificate revocation after they claimed this not to be a critical update, but no real answers. They have escalated the ticket though.
