This post is not covering all important features for testing in WordPress 6.5 BetaBeta
A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under
real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are 
generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however,
design changes often occur as part of the process. 3, more will come. The previous
call with general instructions for testing can be found [here](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2024/02/15/help-test-wordpress-6-5-beta-1/).

WordPress 6.5 RC1 is coming on 5 March 2024 which means String freeze – no new strings
should be added or changed in the CoreCore Core is the set of software required 
to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. to give Polyglots 
the ability to translate strings into different languages before the release. This
is the time to pay careful attention to new strings. If you know English by heart,
please test new features and check out the language.

## Key features to test

### I18n – Translations performance

WordPress Core contributorsCore Contributors Core contributors are those who have
worked on a release of WordPress, by creating the functions or finding and patching
bugs. These contributions are done through Trac. [https://core.trac.wordpress.org](https://core.trac.wordpress.org)
put great efforts into localization performance, and we can see significant improvement
in translation loading.

TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature 
requests much like GitHub.[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/).
ticket: [#59656](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59656)

**Detailed information about the project:**

 * [I18N Performance Analysis](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/24/i18n-performance-analysis/)
 * [Call for Testing: Performant Translations](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/09/05/call-for-testing-performant-translations/)
 * [I18N Improvements in 6.5 (Performant Translations)](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/02/27/i18n-improvements-6-5-performant-translations/)

Not all the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions
that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new
features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming
language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.
org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.’s features went into the Core and
the plugin is still useful with translations from PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym 
for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting
language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into 
HTML. [https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php)-
files that can benefit with OPcache.

**Testing instructions**

Special request to developers who maintain multilingual sites to test WordPress 
6.5 with real data on staging versions of the real sites. Do it now and be confident
when the time will come to update sites on production and benefit from this improvement.

**General checks**

 * Front end theme translations
 * Back end translations
 * Memory usage
 * Site speed
 * Compatibility with different plugins, including plugins for multilingual sites
   and plugins with huge amounts of strings
 * MultisiteMultisite Multisite is a WordPress feature which allows users to create
   a network of sites on a single WordPress installation. Available since WordPress
   version 3.0, Multisite is a continuation of WPMU or WordPress Multiuser project.
   WordPress MultiUser project was discontinued and its features were included into
   WordPress core. [Advanced Administration Handbook -> Create A Network.](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/multisite/create-network/)
   translations
 * Absence of errors with different PHP versions (more:[ supported versions](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/),
   [ recommendations](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/))

_Notes:_

 * WordPress 6.5 has new or changed strings that are not available for translation
   until RC1. WordPress, themes and plugins can also have untranslated strings in
   languages you choose to test with. If you want to translate WordPress, follow
   the guidance in the[ Translator Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/translating/glotpress-translate-wordpress-org/).
 * If you find an issue [file a new ticket on Trac](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/newticket)
   under the I18N component.
 * If you find an issue with a plugin or theme, please, report it to its developer.
 * The Query Monitor plugin is an active observer and can make an impact on the 
   result as well.
 * Some strings can lack translation, and, in this case, they will be absent in 
   6.4 as well as 6.5 (with some exceptions as ‘Activate’ after plugin installation
   that looks the same but actually is a different string).
 * At this stage, the solution is working fine at first glance, and you have to 
   be creative, notice details and take bold actions to get into every possible 
   corner and dig deep to be sure that there are no hidden holes.

**Fresh installations**

 * Install 6.4 and 6.5 latest Beta/RCRelease Candidate A beta version of software
   with the potential to be a final product, which is ready to release unless significant
   bugs emerge. with English default language keeping everything else the same.
 * Install Query Monitor plugin on both sites to check memory usage and execution
   time.
 * Debug settings
    - Enable [Debug and Debug log](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/)
    - Keep the Console open to notice JS and Ajax/REST request errors
 * Change the default site language to another language
    - Check that translations are working in the Admin
    - Check that translation work on the front end (you will have by default Twenty
      Twenty-Four theme and it has strings for the front end)
    - Check that in general each 6.5 admin page uses less memory than 6.4 pages
    - Check that JS translations work, for example by clicking on the Apply button
      on the plugin page without selecting any plugins, install plugin, install 
      theme, use Quick/Bulk Edit and change post/page attributes
 * Change the user language to another one adding a third language. If you know 
   the RTL language, please check it and mix with LTR.
 * Install a lot of languages to check that the system will still be quick with 
   this number of languages.
 * Install plugins that have translations in chosen languages (one of the most popular
   will most likely be one of them) and check that translations are identical.
 * Install a classic theme and check its translations.

If we missed some aspects that should be checked, please leave a comment below this
post.

### Plugin dependencies

Logic of installing, activation, deactivation and removal of plugins was reworked.
This is a significant enhancement in addition to already existing safeguards during
plugins installation for compatibility and errors checks. 

To get detailed information and find previous test calls, please, read [Merge announcement](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/02/15/merge-announcement-plugin-dependencies/).

**Testing instructions**

**Environment**

 * Install WordPress 6.5 latest Beta/RC version
 * Debug settings
    - Enable Debug and Debug log
    - Keep Console open to notice JS and ajax/REST request errors
 * Remove all plugins
 * Install Query Monitor plugin and keep it active (it will show PHP errors if they
   will accrue)
 * Pay attention to details during the process

**General checks**

Plugins without dependencies should be installed, activated, deactivated, uninstalled,
enabled/disabled to auto-updates as before (single or bulk). 

 * Install several plugins
 * Activate plugin
 * Activate several plugins using Bulk action
 * Install old versions of plugins via file upload
 * Update one plugin
 * Update several plugins using Bulk action
 * Try to install plugin that will cause fatal error (invent nonexistent function,
   for example)
 * Deactivate one plugin
 * Deactivate several plugins using Bulk action
 * Delete a plugin
 * Delete several plugins using Bulk action
 * Did the same with Enable/Disable auto-updates

**Test dependencies**

 * **Installation:** Dependents can only be installed via Plugins > Add New if their
   dependencies are installed.
 * **Activation:** Dependents anywhere (Plugins > Installed plugins / Plugins > 
   Add New / modals / WP-CLIWP-CLI WP-CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress,
   used to do administrative and development tasks in a programmatic way. The project
   page is [http://wp-cli.org/](http://wp-cli.org/) [https://make.wordpress.org/cli/](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/)/
   after installing via ZIP) can only be activated if their dependencies are activated
   first.
 * **Deactivation:** Dependencies can only be deactivated on Plugins > Installed
   plugins (single or bulk), if their dependents are deactivated first.
 * **Deletion:** Dependencies can only be deleted on Plugins > Installed plugins(
   single or bulk), if their dependents are deleted first.

**Steps to follow**

Prepare several plugins and zip them into own archives to install via admin

 1. my-hello-dolly/my-hello-dolly.php

    ```wp-block-code
    <?php
    /**
     * Plugin Name: My Hello Dolly
     * Requires Plugins: hello-dolly
     */
    ```

 2. my-car/my-car.php

    ```wp-block-code
    <?php
    /**
     * Plugin Name: My Car
     */
    ```

 3. my-car-trailer/my-car-trailer.php

    ```wp-block-code
    <?php
    /**
     * Plugin Name: My Car Trailer
     * Requires Plugins: my-car
     */
    ```

 4. game-stone/game-stone.php

    ```wp-block-code
    <?php
    /**
     * Plugin Name: Game Stone
     * Requires Plugins: game-scissors
     */
    ```

 5. game-paper/game-paper.php

    ```wp-block-code
    <?php
    /**
     * Plugin Name: Game Paper
     * Requires Plugins: game-stone
     */
    ```

 6. game-scissors/game-scissors.php

    ```wp-block-code
    <?php
    /**
     * Plugin Name: Game Scissors
     * Requires Plugins: game-paper
     */
    ```

| **Action** | **Expected behaviour** | 
| 1. Install ‘My Hello Dolly’ plugin via Plugins > Add New
– Activate plugin | Plugin is installedError messageDependency is not installed automatically | 
| 2. Install ‘My Car Trailer’ plugin via Plugins > Add New | Plugin is installed | 
| 3. Activate ‘My Car Trailer’ plugin | Plugin is not activatedError message | 
| 4. Install and activate ‘My Car’ plugin– Activate ‘My Car Trailer’ plugin | Plugins are activated‘My Car’ plugin has no link to deactivate | 
| 5. Deactivate ‘My Car Trailer’ plugin– Deactivate ‘My Car’ plugin | Plugins are deactivated‘My Car’ plugin has no link to delete | 
| 6. Delete ‘My Car Trailer’ plugin– Delete ‘My Car’ plugin | Plugins are deleted | 
| 7. Install and activate ‘My Car’ plugin– Install and activate ‘My Car Trailer’ plugin– Manually delete ‘My Car’ plugin in the wp-content folder– Open Plugins page in admin | ‘My Car’ plugin will be deactivated due to its absence‘My Car Trailer’ will still be activeNotice message | 
| 8. Add plugins ‘Game Paper’, ‘Game Scissors’, ‘Game Stone’ into wp-content folder | Warning on the plugin page about invalid requirements  |

These are only expected behaviour.

Now it is time to be creative and think about other possible scenarios. Write them
down before actually testing and check if your expectations are matching what is
happening.

Remember to check the Test Dependencies section above so that your expectations 
meet the current status of the feature.

## Other improvements

### Focus styles updated for full WCAGWCAG WCAG is an acronym for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. These guidelines are helping make sure the internet is accessible to all people no matter how they would need to access the internet (screen-reader, keyboard only, etc) 󠀁[https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/)󠁿. compliance

[Trac ticket #51870](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51870)

The focus style for form inputs, buttons, and links styled as buttons, which was
first introduced in WordPress 5.3 ([#34904](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/34904)),
has been fully updated in WordPress 6.5. In WordPress versions prior to 6.5, the
focus styles were inconsistent across different elements like inputs, buttons, and
links.

This update modifies the focus styles for all interactive elements to be consistent
with the styles introduced in WordPress 5.3, in order to meet WCAG accessibilityAccessibility
Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices,
services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible
design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning
compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen
readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) standards for minimum colour
contrast ratios.

Please help test consistency of focus styles for form inputs, buttons and links 
styled as buttons with this video to guide you.

### Fixing inappropriate pointer cursor on disabled form controls in WordPress

[Trac ticket #59733](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59733)

WordPress 6.5 introduces a fix for an issue where disabled form controls in WordPress
were still showing a pointer cursor instead of the default cursor.

Previously, WordPress set all form controls and their label elements to use cursor:
pointer to highlight that they are interactive. However, when a control is disabled
or has `aria-disabled=”true”`, using a pointer cursor is inappropriate and doesn’t
follow web standards.

[[

The issue affected disabled checkboxes, radio buttons, and other form controls throughout
WordPress, including in the GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new 
Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of
creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’
to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. [https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)
editor. While WordPress traditionally hides disabled controls rather than disabling
them, there were still instances of improper cursor styling.

To address this, the change makes sure labels and disabled form controls, including
those with aria-disabled, use the default platform-dependent cursor. This follows
web accessibility standards and fixes the confusing pointer cursor on disabled controls.
Interactive controls will still use a pointer for consistency with WordPress’ prior
styling.

**Testing instructions**

 * Go to** Settings > Reading**
 * Make sure ‘Your homepage displays’ is set to ‘Your latest posts’.
 * Hover the mouse on the ‘Homepage:’ and ‘Posts page:’ disabled select elements.
 * Observe the mouse cursor is the default one.
 * Hover the mouse on the disabled select elements labels.
 * Observe the mouse cursor is the default one.
 * Install and activate the [Link Manager plugin.](https://wordpress.org/plugins/link-manager/)
 * Add a new link.
 * In the form to create a new link, check the checkbox at another web address of
   mine.
 * Observe all the following checkboxes and radio buttons get disabled.
 * Hover the mouse on all radio boxes, checkboxes, and their labels.
 * Observe the mouse cursor is always the default one.

### Media: AVIF support enabled

[Trac ticket #51228](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51228)

[WordPress 6.5 introduces native support for uploading, editing, and saving images in the AVIF (AV1 Image File) format](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/02/23/wordpress-6-5-adds-avif-support/),
provided the server has the required AVIF libraries installed.

The AVIF image format utilises the intra-frame encoding techniques of the AV1 video
codec to offer drastically improved compression ratios compared to older image formats
like JPEG, PNG, and even newer ones like WebP.

By incorporating AVIF encoding and decoding into the media functions, WordPress 
6.5 allows users to upload AVIF files and take advantage of the file size savings,
typically around 30-50% over JPEG/PNG for equivalent visual quality. Edited AVIF
images can also be resaved while preserving alpha transparency and colour profiles.

**Testing instructions**

 * Verify your WordPress install supports AVIF — check Tools-> Site Health -> Info
   tab -> (expand) Media Handling section. Either GD or Imagick must have “AVIF”
   listed.

### Script Loader: Load the modules to the footer in classic themes

The order of loading the import map and script modules has been changed. Now, the
import map is loaded first, followed by the script modules. This fixes an issue 
where incremental import maps would fail if loaded after the script modules.

In classic themes, the import map and script modules are now loaded in the footer
rather than the head. This is because the proper order (import map first) can’t 
be guaranteed when printing in the head in classic themes.

**Testing instructions**

Create a plugin with a dependency between two script modules and an import map. 
You can either follow the instructions below to create a test plugin, or simply 
[download this test plugin](https://github.com/lumumbapl/test-plugin).

Create a new plugin with three files:

**test-plugin/test.php**

    ```wp-block-code
    <?php/* * Plugin Name: Test Script Modules * Version: 1.0.0 */wp_register_script_module( 'bar', plugins_url( '/bar.js', __FILE__ ) );wp_enqueue_script_module( 'foo', plugins_url( '/foo.js', __FILE__ ), array( 'bar' ) );
    ```

**test-plugin/foo.js**

    ```wp-block-code
    import bar from 'bar';bar();
    ```

**test-plugin/bar.js**

    ```wp-block-code
    export default function bar() { console.log( 'bar' );}
    ```

 * Upload the plugin on your test website.
 * Activate the plugin.
 * Open your site (frontend).
 * Check that **“bar”** was printed in the console.

To check that this fixes the positioning of the scripts/link in the classic themes:

 * Load a blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup
   that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress
   editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with
   shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and
   user experience. theme (Twenty Twenty-Four or another)
 * Check that the scripts with **type=”importmap”** and** type=”module”**, and the
   link with **rel=”modulepreload”** are printed in the head.

 * Load a classic theme (Twenty Fourteen)

 * Check that the scripts with **type=”importmap”** and** type=”module”**, and the
   link with **rel=”modulepreload”** are printed in the footer.

## Short explanation for first time attendees

[@hellofromtonya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hellofromtonya/) reminded, that
this bi-weekly meeting is where people who test WordPress CoreCore Core is the set
of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress.
gather to discuss important things regarding test contribution. Testing includes
manual testing, attempting reproduce reported issues, and automated testing.

You can find the agenda meeting [here](https://make.wordpress.org/test/2021/09/13/test-team-chat-agenda-for-14-sep-2021/).

## Week in Test introduction

[@hellofromtonya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hellofromtonya/) described the 
purpose of this weekly publication, in short, it includes:

 * Parts of the core where testing help is needed this week
 * Learning and reading opportunities

Team agreed that it’s very helpful.

## Last week’s Team update introduction

[@hellofromtonya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hellofromtonya/) reminded that 
it’s a Team update, an overview of what has happeed last week. It also includes 
stats that are related to our team.

The Team agreed that the queue of the items that need testers’ attention is long.

## Focal group updates

[@hellofromtonya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hellofromtonya/) explained that
it’s a time for testers to share updates for testing project initiatives. This section
has started with:

 * PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used
   open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for 
   web development and can be embedded into HTML. [https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php)
   8.1 fixes are underway
 * Modernization to Latest PHPUnit project is nearly finished. Backporting is next,
   then dev note
 * PHPUnit Test modernization is ongoing

[@hareesh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hareesh/) added:

 * The latest version of jQuery UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout
   of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less
   about what they are doing. was recently merged to Core. Need a lot of testing.

## Documentation strategy

[@francina](https://profiles.wordpress.org/francina/) opened this discussion, asking
what instructions we want to give. The main reason was related to setting up environment.

[@hellofromtonya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hellofromtonya/) proposed to create
a docs empowering everyone to contribution, we need clear entry points for:

 * Local machine setups
 * How to do different types of testing
 * How to create test reports

Team agreed that this documentation should be present in **Make Test** website,**
Make Core** should only refer to it.

[@hellofromtonya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hellofromtonya/) mentioned, that
[PHPUnit docs page](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/automated-testing/phpunit/)
lacks a reference to where contributors can set up their local machines. That should
be a priority.

[@francina](https://profiles.wordpress.org/francina/) [@juhise](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juhise/)
[@hellofromtonya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hellofromtonya/) agreed that the
Team should start documenting the steps for Docker testing environment and later
repeat the same pattern for other solutions. On of the concerns is that screenshot
are getting outdated very quickly.

[@mkaz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mkaz/) shown blockBlock Block is the abstract
term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content 
or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of
what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery
into a single consistent API and user experience.-editor’s[ development site setup instructions](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/handbook/tutorials/devenv/#wordpress-development-site)
based on **wp-env**. Team agreed that all projects should be pointing to one place
where everything related to development environment is stored and maintained.

[@hellofromtonya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hellofromtonya/) proposed a step-
by-step instrctions of creating documentation for different types of test environments:

 * Start with Docker
 * Setups on** Make Test **with reference in **Make Core**
 * Figure out the doc info structure / strategy
 * Doc for different OS: Windows, Mac, and Linux
 * Link to tooling’s official docs
 * Get feedback from contributors
 * Refine
 * Repeat

[@francina](https://profiles.wordpress.org/francina/) proposed working session with
setting up environments. It’s going to happen on [2021-09-23 14:00](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210923T1400)

People with different OS will be essential for the successful meeting.

[@boniu91](https://profiles.wordpress.org/boniu91/) shared a reminder that on [2021-09-17 13:15](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20210917T1315)
the Test Scrub is going to happen taking care of the following tickets:
