You can change the text, but not mess up the page layout. Styles section (with style book to customize all blocks), there was also mention about how blocks, make up patterns, that make up templates Build – blocks can be connected to custom meta fields, advanced query field can be attached to custom fields too Develop – easily add a template in the block editor and the interactivity api (built on top of WordPress) – search, pagination and more are instant (without needing a page refresh, which make the sites FAST). Lastly control how things work with different mobile breakpoints. WordPress Playgrounds are getting some work done to them too. You can have multiple sites open at one time and now there’s the ability to add have blueprints and easily add content that you use regularly. And there is now a WordPress Figma project that can be accessed by the community to be used to make tutorials, etc. using the same images that the design is built from. There has been a lot of thought into making it the best tool for EVERYONE — it needs to be simple enough for all to use, but powerful enough for developers to do what they need to do Matt came back and talked about the power of how we can use the help of AI to build out a WordPress site much quicker than before. Man vs Machine build off here . Mary Hubbard, WordPress Executive Director Addressing Legal Issues: Mention of WP Engine’s legal action and WordPress’s commitment to its open-source nature.
