WordPress end of life: end of support by version
WordPress Foundation · Servers & Databases
For WordPress by WordPress Foundation, patchletter knows 12 support cycles. None of them has ended so far. The current version of WordPress is 7.1.4. The cycles come from the open endoflife.date project, last reconciled on 07/11/2026.
When does support end for which WordPress version?
A cycle is a maintained version line. Where a date is given, support ends on that day. After it the vendor ships no more security updates for that line.

Where does the EOL data for WordPress come from?
From the open endoflife.date project, which collects vendors' official support commitments. patchletter reconciles the cycles daily; the WordPress data is as of 07/11/2026. In case of doubt the vendor's own lifecycle page applies. patchletter deliberately stores no vendor full texts.
