WP 6.2 compatibility: check upgrade to React 18 guide

[igorschoester]

In WP 6.2 we get React 18.0.2 instead of 17.0.2.
After any fixes, please make sure it still works in React 17 too (i.e. WP 6.1 or WP 6.0).

Have a look at How to Upgrade to React 18 and determine if we need more fixes other than #19856 and #19858
In particular the Automatic Batching might cause some unexpected problems?

Install WP 6.2 steps

• Install and activate the WordPress Beta Tester plugin
• Go to Tools > Beta testing
• Change the update channel to Bleeding edge and the stream to Beta/RC Only
• Go to Dashboard > Updates and update to 6.2-beta1 (at the time of writing)
• Add/ensure the following constants are set as follows in your wp-config.php. Please do this instead of the WP_DEBUG set to false.

if ( ! defined( 'WP_DEBUG' ) ) {
    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
}
if ( ! defined( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG' ) ) {
    define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
}
if ( ! defined( 'YOAST_ENVIRONMENT' ) ) {
    define( 'YOAST_ENVIRONMENT', 'development' );
}
