Bumping the version (or the role)
Bumping the version (or the role).
I love English. I love to speak English, write in English, or listen to people speak or write in English.
One thing I especially like is words and expressions that can be used easily in many contexts. A simple example of interesting word: bumping.
I discovered the word (bumping) during WordPress release parties. Basically, at some point, you have to change the version of WordPress in a file (from memory in /wp-includes/version.php
).
In my opinion (I’ve never looked up), this word means specifically bumping. Because, of course, from one release to another, you raise the version of WordPress.
But, we can also bump a user role (I think). A few days ago, I needed an update of my role on Make WordPress Core.
In my head, I kept thinking: Can someone bump my role on Make Core ????? And it was funny to me. Anyway, I ended up using raise, to ask someone to do it for me because I wasn’t sure.
