WordPress 6.1, the final major release of 2022, was released a few days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because this version is currently in the second phase of the Gutenberg project<\/strong>, it includes several block editor improvements, including backports from over ten Gutenberg releases after WordPress 6.0<\/strong>. It also includes the new Twenty Twenty-Three default theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we’ll go over what’s new in WordPress 6.1<\/strong>, as well as which features you should try out after updating your websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/strong>: What Is WordPress and How Does It Work?<\/a>: A blog that will help you understand more about WordPress<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty Twenty-Three \u2013 New Default Theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following the release of the Twenty Twenty-Two block theme with WordPress 5.9, 6.1 adds a new default block theme named Twenty Twenty-Three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It includes eleven theme styles out of the box, allowing you to effortlessly change the colour scheme and font using the global styles switcher tool. Even if you don’t want to use the pre-defined theme styles, the large range of possibilities is a terrific place to start when it comes to personalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The typeface of Twenty Twenty-Two<\/strong> has also been improved. You not only receive more font family options, but they are also available in all eleven styles. This gives you more freedom to mix and match typography styles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to the Block Editor in WordPress 6.1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Users write content, create pages, and update their themes with the block editor. Each WordPress update brings significant improvements, new functionality, and block editor additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following are some of the most noticeable modifications to the block editor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

List and Quote Blocks Now Have Inner Blocks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the drawbacks of bulleted lists was that moving a list item up and down required manually deleting <\/strong>and editing all of the list elements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inner blocks for Quote and List blocks are now available in WordPress 6.1<\/strong>. Each list item is essentially its own block, and you may move list items up and down<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Quote block is now broken into inner blocks as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now style quote and citation blocks differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featured Image in Cover Block<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With WordPress 6.1, you can now utilise the featured image<\/strong> as a cover image<\/strong>. After that, simply set the featured image, and it will begin to appear inside the cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many newcomers mix up the cover block and featured photos. Hopefully, this means they can now simply use the cover block to display the featured image for an article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borders that are new and improved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WordPress 6.1 expands the number of design tools available for blocks. The more strong border tool, which is now accessible for numerous blocks, is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set top, right, bottom, and left borders separately and change their colors and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, users could only choose the border radius for the picture block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With WordPress 6.1, you can now customize the border color and size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing for Content Only<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The templateLock attribute in WordPress 6.1 allows for content-only editing of group, cover, and column blocks. This allows you to lock the content layout while writing, uploading images, or modifying the material in any other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patterns make content-only editing feasible. If a pattern has numerous blocks in a group block, add the templateLock property to the pattern’s code and set it to contentOnly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The design tools will be removed from the sidebar panel if that pattern is active in the block editor. Instead, you’ll see a list of the group’s content blocks. After selecting a block, the toolbar will no longer have any block-moving tools. You can freely edit the real content when the feature is enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By selecting Modify on the group block’s toolbar, you can temporarily deactivate content-only editing. When disabled, all design and layout tools for the group block and its components are available. To re-enable content-only editing, click Done on the group block’s toolbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create Additional Templates in Site Editor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may be familiar with the template heirarchy if you have utilised child themes with classic WordPress themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users may now achieve the same thing with WordPress 6.1 utilising the block editor and without writing code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the block theme you are using, you can utilise the following templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
