Description

When a site encounters an issue when upgrading Core, Plugins, Themes or Language Packs, it's not always clear what the user should do next.

With the pending addition of Rollback to Core during the 6.3 cycle, this provides an opportunity to add Help text for Rollback. Alongside this, we can also direct site owners to a HelpHub resource for general guidance when they encounter upgrade issues, and to the support forums for issues that need some investigation.

With https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/58282 (and https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/55750 in trunk) I will make some suggestions to the help tab copy. Please feel free to rework and comment.

@marybaum please look at this PR, we have Beta 1 in 8 days and because this is an enhancement, it needs to be in trunk before Beta. Thanks 🙏

Rollback as a term is hard to translate for many locales and has been replaced in core. Could we avoid new introduction of the term in this ticket?

#16 @audrasjb

  • Type changed from enhancement to task (blessed)

Converting to a task as this can ship after beta 1 is released.

@audrasjb
Could you rephrase a bit? The support forums don't have tickets, but "topics".

Ref:
On systems with fewer resources, this may lead to server timeouts or resource limits being reached. If you encounter an issue during the update process, please create a support forum ticket and reference <strong>Rollback</strong> in the issue title.
