WordPress 7 Has Arrived
It’s already updated here.. and a video about it here.. in English
This video offers a summary of the most important new features in WordPress 7.0. Here are the key points:
- AI connectors (0:06): The most notable new feature is the integration of a foundation for connecting Artificial Intelligence models (such as OpenAI, Anthropic or Google) directly into WordPress core, making them easier to use in themes and plugins.
- Faster interface (1:20): The admin panel feels snappier, with smooth transitions that make the user experience closer to a native application.
- Command palette (2:07): Now pinned at the top, it is expected to evolve into a more powerful control tool, similar to a command line.
- Editor improvements (3:58): iframes are introduced in the editor to improve block development and style loading. Visual revisions (3:25) and device-based block visibility controls (4:32) are also included.
- PHP development (4:54): Developers can now create blocks using only PHP for server-side rendering, without mixing JavaScript.
- Other improvements: the font library update (3:14), accessibility improvements (5:57) and the use of Data Views for future data management in the admin (5:12) are mentioned.
The author recommends testing these features in WordPress Playground (6:21) or in testing environments before updating production sites.
