Hi there,

We’ll be performing software upgrades on all machines within Merlot Digital, including WP Core (re: WP2Shell).

This will involve Linux kernel, other software and third-party package updates, as well as to WordPress CMS.

Normally this happens in the background, though due to the scope including WP, we’re publishing this.

Please let us know if you’ve any questions or concerns about this so we can help you through it.

Cheers,
Merlot Digital
