Clients who are not using a WordPress 5.6 beta do not need to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: the breaking changes introduced with <strong>PHP 8 will affect almost every plugin and theme<\/strong>. So, if you\u2019re trying out PHP 8, you should check the compatibility of your theme and all the plugins that you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a full list of what\u2019s included in WPML 4.4.7 beta, please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/ko\/download\/wpml-multilingual-cms\/?section=changelog\">changelog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Known issues in this release<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This release contains some known issues.
