Summary

  • Adds a release note announcing that WordPress Solr support and the Solr Power plugin will reach end of life on January 11, 2027.
  • Recommends Elasticsearch (linking to the beta announcement in SITE-4589: Add Elasticsearch for WordPress Beta release note #9968), SearchWP, and Algolia as alternatives.
  • Published on the same date (2026-03-25) as the Elasticsearch beta release note.

Test plan

  • Verify the release note renders correctly on the docs site.
  • Confirm the link to the Elasticsearch beta announcement resolves correctly.
  • Confirm external links (SearchWP, Algolia) are valid.

Announce that Solr support and the Solr Power plugin will be
removed for WordPress sites on January 11, 2027. Recommends
migration to Elasticsearch, SearchWP, or Algolia.
