Summary

As a part of the latest WordPress release (6.5.*), NodeJS versions less than 18 will not continue to be supported.

WordPress Develop has the version 20 already defined but that is very optimistic for us. NodeJS is currently in v24, too many versions behind.

Also consider update to latest NPM version.

Tasks:
List all NodeJS installations

• .nvmrc
• .circleci/config.yml
• Update lock files
• Test that assets still compile as expected

Resources

• dev-notes
• node
