-## Important Notice for sites running on WordPress
-CiviCRM 5.26 and later changes how front-end CiviCRM URLs are formed in WordPress.
-Please [read this blog post before upgrading](https://civicrm.org/blog/kcristiano/civicrm-526-and-wordpress-important-notice).
-You may need to update settings at your payment Processor for recurring payments.
-If you have an external service that sends callback messages to CiviCRM, you may need to update the settings at the external service to use the new URL format.
+## NOTICE: WordPress Service URLs
+
+The upcoming release of WordPress 5.5 ([ETA August 2020](https://make.wordpress.org/core/5-5/)) requires changes to several CiviCRM URLs. CiviCRM 5.26+ adopts a new URL convention. For old URLs, there is transitional support that will work for most web-based visitors. However, this may not be sufficient for *external service integrations* (e.g. certain payment processors or email relays which send notifications to CiviCRM).
+
+Administrators should promptly assess and update any external services which submit notifications to their CiviCRM-WordPress sites. For more information, see the blog post [CiviCRM 5.26 and WordPress: Important notice](https://civicrm.org/blog/kcristiano/civicrm-526-and-wordpress-important-notice).
