GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/’s strict content validation has helped identify formatting incompatibilities, and continued improvements are planned for future releases.
  • Add word and block count to table of contents.
  • Add support for meta attributes (custom fields) in block attributes. This allows block authors to specify attributes to live outside of `post_content` entirely.
  • Allow Gutenberg to be the default editor for posts with blocks and add links to classic editor.
  • AccessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).
