[Hidden-tech] Wordpress 5.7 upgrade help

[Sam McClellan]

Hi Yadim,

It sounds like something we can help you with. Can you clarify a few things:

- #4 - Are you saying the Custom Menu Wizard doesn't work with 5.7 or 
that the previous dev made changes to the plugin that don't work on 5.7? 
Can you elaborate?
- #5 - you said "add the copied customizations" -- if the customizations 
are currently on the live site, if it's copied to the staging they will 
still be there but just might need to be updated/fixed, yes?
- What hosting company/platform (cPanel?) is this on?

Best,
Sam
