WordPress 7.1 Highlights

WordPress 7.1 is built around how you work: navigating the admin, controlling your designs, collaborating with others, and building what you want.

The admin bar now follows you across the entire admin experience, putting the tools you need within reach, whether you’re writing a post or editing your site’s design. Built-in responsive styling, added to the current show/hide options for blocks, means you can ensure your site looks exactly how you want across screen sizes, without custom CSS. A new media editor keeps the familiar Crop button entry point and brings freeform and aspect-ratio cropping, horizontal and vertical flipping, fine-grained and snap rotation, and metadata editing into one dedicated workflow. Leave Notes anywhere in your content—no longer limited to the block level. Rich text support and @mentions make it easier to collaborate with others as you write. Two new blocks, Playlist and Tabs, plus a new API to register your own icons for the Icon block, give you even more flexibility to build what you want without additional plugins.

These are just the highlights; read on to see everything WordPress 7.1 offers.
