What Are the New Features in WordPress 6.0?

WordPress 6.0 was released today and is the second major version of 2022. This new version includes significant updates for the whole website editing and offers a new way to create websites. In this article, we’ll show you what’s new in WordPress 6.0 and what features you should try after upgrading your sites.

• Switch Friendly Themes

Now the new version requires only one click to switch or change the theme of the website to your desire. Depending on the niche of your website, sometimes you need to change themes regularly. If it used to be a web design task, you can now implement it quickly. There is a style option for this in the top right corner of the page. Click on it and choose Browse Styles. Choose a style that fits your audience or brand theme. Type Ok and you’re done.

• Improved Block Editor

Users can now use different themes compatible with the latest full website builder offering great custom websites. The new version includes a block theme that improves the way developers and content publishers can use the site’s full blocks, choose design patterns and even work on cool templates. If you do some research on this new version, you will find many editable templates in the block editor. This includes some archive templates like category, content author, the inclusion of required tags, publication date, and taxonomy option.

• Block Themes are exportable now

With the new WordPress 6.0 version, you can easily make all your changes in the block editor, save your changes with a single click, and then export them to your latest block theme. To speed up this process, WordPress has a ZIP file for this saved theme file. That includes all kinds of changes made to the theme. Now you can simply download it on your PC. The best part is that you now have the benefit of using this WordPress website theme on any other WordPress website you have developed before.

• User-friendly text selection

In the previous version, selecting the text in one of the blocks was a very complex process. If the text had to be copied and clipped into another block, the process was time-consuming. It took a long time for the style editors to work, so now the new version is super easy to use. The selection process is now fluid.

• Lock the Block Theme

In the past, WordPress changes would change very quickly when multiple users entered the editor and accidentally changed block positions or content themes. In the latest version, you can now lock the block you edited or redesigned. However, one of the biggest problems was that when users make changes to reusable blocks,  that last change is saved forever. So this still needs improvement and we could probably see a change in the upcoming versions.

• Easier controls for text and writing

For starters, WordPress 6.0 fixed one of the persistent pain points of previous versions by now allowing users to select text from multiple blocks at once. This makes copying and pasting text much easier, especially if you want to rearrange more than one paragraph at a time.

• Responsive Behavior

Last on our list is now the WordPress 6.0 responsive element, as the user is now free to choose which blocks they want to see on different screens. For example, if you want your website to appear on many smart devices and different gadgets,  use this option to display each of the blocks as a stack or maybe a row, as you like.

In short, once you’ve read this blog, you’ll understand that WordPress 6.0 is all about making the software more accessible, more customer-friendly, and easier to manage. With this, if you are a web developer, you can experience the level at which they have made most of the factors more user-friendly. This accessibility makes WordPress more effective.

Conclusion

With each update, WordPress gets a little more user-friendly, with more customization options, intuitive controls, and time-saving shortcuts. WordPress 6.0 is no different, bringing the CMS closer to its goal of site-wide editing. The main goal of WordPress 6.0 is to improve the customization and editing options available to us. We look forward to exciting times ahead.
