EP447 - What's New in WordPress 6.2?

WPwatercooler - Weekly WordPress Talk Show

On this episode of WPwatercooler guest Courtney Robertson is joining Jason Tucker, Sé Reed, and Jason Cosper will be discussing the upcoming release of WordPress 6.2. The release is just around the corner, and it's packed with exciting new features that are sure to delight users. One of the most significant changes is the Full Site Editor coming out of beta, which will provide users with a seamless editing experience.

Additionally, users will now be able to browse and choose templates to edit, customize their theme or specific blocks with custom CSS, and enjoy new and improved navigation menus. The new version will also feature colors to indicate which template parts are being edited, allowing for a more efficient workflow. The Style Book will provide users with a bird's-eye view of styles for all blocks, while the copy and paste block styles feature will make it easier to create a cohesive design. Classic widgets import as template parts in block themes, while separate sub-panels for block settings and styles will streamline the editing process. The new distraction-free mode will provide an unobstructed view of the content, while improved pattern insertion with new categories will enhance creativity. There are also miscellaneous changes and under-the-hood improvements that will make the overall user experience more seamless.

Overall, WordPress 6.2 is shaping up to be an impressive update, with plenty of new features to explore, and is planned for a March 28th release date.
