Data View

Every part of your website comes with a series of information and data - now you can quickly find what you need and organize it the way you like. The data view of pages, templates, block templates, and template components enables you to view data in a table or grid view, and choose to switch fields and make batch changes.

Performance updates

This version includes more than 110 performance updates. The speed and efficiency of the post editor and website editor have been significantly improved. The loading speed is more than twice faster than 6.4, and the input processing speed is five times faster than the previous version. The loading time of translation websites in this version is reduced by 25%.

Barrier free improvement

This release has more than 65 accessibility improvements across the platform, making it easier to access than ever before. It contains an important fix that can unlock the access of screen reading software users and other people navigating through the keyboard to the management submenu. This version also fixes issues such as color contrast, element positioning and cursor focus in managing the focus state, which helps improve everyone's WordPress experience.

There's more

Better control of images in cover blocks

Set the aspect ratio of the cover block image, and easily add color overlay to automatically obtain colors from the image you select.

A smoother drag and drop experience

When you move things, you can feel the difference, such as the displacement item prompt in the list view or drag in the workspace without resistance from beginning to end. These useful visual prompts make the operation more intuitive.

Add interactivity to blocks through interactive APIs

The Interaction API provides a standardized method for developers to build interactive front-end experience of blocks. It simplifies the process, reduces dependence on external tools, and maintains optimal performance. Use it to create an unforgettable user experience, such as instant access to search results or real-time interaction between visitors and content.

Connect blocks to custom fields or other dynamic content

Link core block attributes to custom fields and use the values of custom fields without creating custom blocks. With the support of the block binding API, developers can further extend this function to connect blocks to any dynamic content, even beyond custom fields. If there is data stored elsewhere, just a few lines of code can easily point the block to the new source.

Add appearance tools to classic themes

Let designers and creators who use classic themes get upgraded design experience. Select options that support spacing, borders, layout, and color, even if theme.json is not used. When support is enabled, more tools will be added automatically when available.

Explore the improvement of plug-in experience

Now there is a simpler way to manage plug-in dependencies. Plug in authors can provide a new Requires Plugins The header is attached with a comma separated list of the required plug-in aliases to show the user the link to install and activate these plug-ins first.
