WordPress 6.0 is brought to the market with some performance improvements, and it is expected to make WordPress sites faster for visitors. The developers have made several improvements to the ways queries are executed and how caches are further managed. Below we have listed some of the latest feature updates to boost your knowledge.
Page Creation Patterns
Earlier, while creating a new web page, publishers used to start with a blank layout. The page creation pattern update will help them to choose from multiple pre-designed layouts to begin the designing process. Note that WordPress core doesn’t ship with layouts. The theme developers need to design these layouts into themes.
Block Locking
This feature can prevent the end-user from deleting or moving an essential block by mistake. The new feature will be available via the drop-down menu in the block settings section.
Stack & Row Variations
Another amazing addition to the platform gives you the ability to develop dynamic flex-based containers by simply stacking blocks into row layouts and columns. The flex-based containers are preferred by most people because they are flexible and adjust automatically to a new viewpoint. They can also expand to the larger screens and shrink to the smaller ones when needed.
Multi-Select
People these days are using block-based editors on WordPress, and it requires them to create the layout of the website pages using some set of blocks. These blocks work like containers where a variety of content such as text and images can be inserted. The new update allows designers to select multiple content boxes to control the content.
These impressive updates can enhance your overall experience of building an interactive and impactful WordPress website.
