What's New in ClassicPress 1.2.0
Features
- A new setting to allow specifying a custom image on the login screen, based on a community petition.
- Full support for PHP 7.4 at least when running ClassicPress itself. Plugins and themes may still need updating for full PHP 7.4 compatibility with no notices or warnings, and there may still be some cases where ClassicPress can work together better with plugins or themes in order to ensure compatibility.
