The MU plugin replaces the WordPress core network setup page with a custom page that provides instructions for setting up a multisite network on Pantheon and adds filters that allows the content to be changed. + +This update also fixes some display issues to that page. + +#### WordPress (Composer Managed) update +The `2024-06-04` [WordPress (Composer Managed) (Early Access)](https://github.com/pantheon-upstreams/wordpress-composer-managed) release updates the configuration file filename displayed on the network setup screen to specify `config/application.php` to apply your configuration changes to (the Bedrock default), rather than the WordPress default `wp-config.php`. This is accomplished via a filter in the MU plugin's implementation of that admin page that allows the configuration file name to be modified. + +This update is now available to all WordPress (Composer Managed)-based installs. + +The WordPress (Composer Managed) update also includes a Composer script to automatically update the Composer `platform.php` value to match the version of PHP in your `pantheon.yml`. **Note:** [Roots Bedrock](https://roots.io/bedrock/docs/installation/#requirements) does not support below PHP 8.0. This update is unrelated to WordPress multisites, but is included in the latest release for the WordPress (Composer Managed) upstream.
