Description

Ipsum now requires WordPress 7.2, the release it ships in. Every block default theme since Twenty Twenty-Two requires its own release, and the core import does the same: WordPress/wordpress-develop#14558 (Trac #66352).

WordPress, WP-CLI and Playground won't activate a theme that requires a newer version, and the latest stable release is 7.1 until 7.2 ships. So two setups move to 7.2 too:

  • .wp-env.json runs WordPress trunk, like Gutenberg's. On 7.1, npm run env:setup stops at "Current WordPress version does not meet minimum requirements for Ipsum."
  • The Playground blueprint uses the 7.2 beta, so the README's Playground link keeps activating Ipsum.

phpcs.xml.dist, the README, CONTRIBUTING and the bug report template follow the new minimum.

Screenshots

No visual changes.

Testing Instructions

  1. In a fresh checkout of this branch, run npm run env:setup. It installs WordPress trunk (7.2 beta) and activates Ipsum.
  2. Open Playground with this branch's blueprint. It runs 7.2 Beta 1 with Ipsum active and the demo content imported.
  3. Run npm run lint. It passes, and lint:theme now checks theme.json against the 7.2 schema.

No markup or styles change here, so there's nothing to check in the editor or the color variations.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Ipsum ships in WordPress 7.2, and like the other block default themes it requires that release. The core import does the same.

WordPress, WP-CLI and Playground won't activate a theme that requires a newer version, and the latest stable release is 7.1 until 7.2 ships. So wp-env now runs WordPress trunk, as Gutenberg's does, and the Playground blueprint uses the 7.2 beta.
