ByScott McKeown

Today sees the first update release of 2023 for WordPress with version 6.2 hitting the supper highway (do we still use that term?).

So what’s new then?

  • Full Site Editor Comes Out of Beta
  • Browse and Choose Templates to Edit
  • Add Custom CSS to Your Theme or Specific Blocks
  • New and Improved Navigation Menus
  • Colors to Indicate Template Parts Being Edited
  • See Styles for All Blocks in The Style Book
  • Copy and Paste Block Styles
  • Classic Widgets Import as Template Parts in Block Themes
  • Separate Sub Panels for Block Settings and Styles
  • A New Distraction-Free Mode is Introduced
  • Improved Pattern Insertion with New Categories
  • Lots of other changes and stacks of stuff under-the-hood

If you already have a WordPress web site up and running with the auto-updater enabled you should get upgraded the the new version without you having to do anything otherwise you will have to manually update in your normal way.
