Today let’s take a look at the details of the WordPress 5.7 update, okay?
WordPress version 5.7 was officially released on 9/3/2021
With this version there will be a few improvements as well as new features.
I have been installing and experiencing these new features for a while.
In this article, we will learn about the interesting things in this WordPress 5.7 version.
Contents
1. Editor continues to be improved
As usual, recent updates have focused on the Editor.
WordPress continues to improve on the Block Editor aka the new editor.
Where most of us spend a lot of time on this WordPress platform.
Although WordPress can do a lot more than simply managing content.
But the Editior section is still the place most people care about and use.
And here are the upcoming improvements.
2. Drag and drop blocks directly
WordPress 5.7 will let you directly drag and drop blocks instead of having to press the (+) button as before.
This makes it easier for you to work with this editor.
3. Full-height block support
4. Each block variant has its own description
WordPress 5.7 will show a description for each block variant.
For example, Social Icon block has: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest…
5. Social Icon Size
This feature allows to change the size of social network icons.
6. Button
Now the buttons in the block editor will be allowed to align vertically.
The user completely chooses the width % for the button.
7. Re-normalize WP-Admin’s color scheme
With this new version they will standardize the color scheme in wp-admin
By default WordPress will let you adjust the colors in the admin section, with some limited options.
In the next WordPress 5.7 version, the color palette will be reduced to available colors such as:
Blue, greed, grey, black or white….
8. New Robots API
This will be a new API included in an upcoming update.
Robots API will allow developers to control and update the robots meta tag on the website.
9. Lazy Loading iFrames
It already adds lazy-loading for images by default, which in 5.7 will load embedded iframes.
This is a very popular technique today to increase website speed.
