How can we upgrade to Wordpress 4.2? about heroku-wp HOT 6 CLOSED

Verified that it indeed works.

Steps

• Update composer.json file with new version string
• Run following command and use --ignore-platform-reqs to bypass hhvm requirement (see comment here in buildpack source)
• $> composer update --ignore-platform-reqs

Example run

$ composer update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1

• This package requires hhvm ~3.2 but you are running this with PHP and not HHVM.

$ composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)

• Installing composer/installers (v1.0.21)
  Downloading: 100%
• Installing wordpress/wordpress (4.2.2)
  Down Downloading: 100%

from heroku-wp.

You can update composer.json and recreate composer.lock. Then deploy (try
this on a forked Heroku application first, of course, if your WordPress is
currently being used/viewed by other folks).
