 [https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2024/04/10/the-forums-get-a-refresh/ In
 April we signalled the intention to move all support forum sites to the
 new theme by 1st July 2024].

 In order to be ready for the switch, admins should enable the theme
 preview and check the display of the site, particularly the page at
 `/support`, as this can be customised and some layouts may need editor
 updates to be compatible.

 Steps:
 1. Enable the preview by clicking the 'Preview the new theme' button in
 the admin bar, or by visiting the site and appending `?new-theme=1` to the
 URL, eg. https://fr.wordpress.org/support/?new-theme=1
 2. Check the `/support`, `/support/forums/`, forum archive and single
 forum views.
 3. If there are display issues on the `/support` page and the site is
 using a widget based homepage, fix the issues using the editor if
 possible, or else log the issue in a comment on this ticket.
 4. If there are no issues you can ask to have the new theme enabled
 straight away in the [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02QB8GMM #meta
 Slack channel], or otherwise the site will have the new theme enabled
 around July 1.

 **Support landing page examples (`/support`)**

 The Italian site uses a widget based homepage (has 'Front page blocks'
 widgets configured):

 The French site uses a widget based homepage (has 'Front page blocks'
 widgets configured), but some content probably needs to be combined into a
 single widget to avoid the empty grid areas:

 The Spanish site does not have any widgets configured so the default
 layout is displayed:
