[https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop](https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) when using capabilitycapability A **capability** is permission to perform one or more types of task. Checking if a user has a capability is performed by the` current_user_can` function. Each user of a WordPress site might have some permissions but not others, depending on their role. For example, users who have the Author role usually have permission to edit their own posts (the “edit_posts” capability), but not permission to edit other users’ posts (the “edit_others_posts” capability). checks during `determine_current_user` on multisitemultisite Used to describe a WordPress installation with a network of multiple blogs, grouped by sites. This installation type has shared users tables, and creates separate database tables for each blog (wp_posts becomes wp_0_posts).

Included are several new Gutenberg blocks for working with post comments, along with a host of enhancements to existing blocks with a lot of focus going into improving the Navigation blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience., which will feature heavily in block themes. ## Finalizing the Site Editing entry point In preparation to introduce Site Editing in WordPress 5.9 and following the [site editing IA proposal](https://make.wordpress.org/design/2021/10/15/site-editing-ia-concepts-how-to-surface-and-access-new-features/), the Site Editor menu item has been renamed to “Editor”, and now [sits under the Appearance menu](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36064). [[ ## Fullscreen pattern explorer modal With the increasing number of block patterns available in the pattern directory and bundled with themes, there is now a full-screen modal [pattern explorer](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35773) that can be accessed via an Explore button in the pattern inserter. This explorer allows users to find patterns in a bigger, more advanced tool. ## New comment blocks This release includes a handful of new blocks to allow for granular control over the design of comments in templates for posts. The new [Comments Query Loop and Comment Template blocks](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35231) work similarly to the Query LoopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. [https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop](https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) and Post Template blocks, but for the display of comments via a default template composed of Post Comment Author, Post Comment Date, and Post Comment Content blocks. Site owners can lay out the blocks to suit their designs, for example, by including the newly added [Comment Author Avatar block](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35396). Outside of the display of the comments themselves, are two blocks for displaying the [Comment Reply Link](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35774) and [Edit Comment Link](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35965). With these new blocks now available, the existing experimental Post Comment block [has been deprecated](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36032), with the block now hidden in the inserter. ## Further iterations on the Navigation block With its inclusion in 5.9 and all its recent enhancements, the Navigation block is no longer considered experimental. The block has now opted-in to the [flex layout block support](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36169), the placeholder for the block [has been simplified](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36023), and the UIUI User interface and naming of navigation entities [have been refined](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36238). The data layer for the Navigation block has also been improved, as the block’s data is [now saved](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35746) to a `wp_navigation` custom post typeCustom Post Type WordPress can hold and display many different types of content. A single item of such a content is generally called a post, although post is also a specific post type. Custom Post Types gives your site the ability to have templated posts, to simplify the concept., allowing greater flexibility surrounding the management of navigation menus used for this block. Among these management improvements, there is an additional menu item for editing and managing navigation menus, found under the Appearance tab, and it is now also possible to [create new menus](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36245) from an existing Navigation block directly within the editor. [[ ## Typography tools enhancements The Typography controls for blocks have been switched to use the ToolsPanel component, which allows blocks’ frequently used settings to be displayed by default, with more advanced controls able to be exposed via a menu. With this in place, typography support across the whole block library [has been updated](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/34064), with many blocks now opting into more controls. For example, most text-based blocks like paragraph, heading, and list blocks now support font style, letter spacing, and text transform, with only the most common font size displayed by default. ## 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). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) improvements Performance and accessibility of the [block list view](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35230) have been improved by using a windowing technique that now renders a fixed number of items at a time instead of every block. The [post title](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35898) component is now covered for screen readers, and [announcements have been added](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35896) on formatting changes in rich text fields. Also, the “Save” [keyboard shortcut](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36138) has been rolled out to the site editor. ## Other Notable Highlights As part of contributors’ efforts to provide an outstanding editor performance, the [initial loading of the site editor](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36044) has been improved. A few features common to the block editor have now been rolled out to the site editor, including [rich previews](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35951) in the link editing UI, which also features [an extra text field](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/33849) when modifying an existing link. The [UI for saving multiple entities](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35933)( e.g. site, template, and template parts) has also been improved with descriptive text added. [[ Block enhancements include [padding support](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35701) for the Columns block, and the [Post Author](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35963), [Post Excerpt](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35959), [Comment Author](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36213), and [Code](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/27582) blocks now all have spacing support. Support for [embedding Wolfram Cloud](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35656) links has been added, and there is now [transparency support](https://github.com/wordpress/gutenberg/pull/34130) in the Duotone filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks). They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. that can be applied to images. In APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. changes, there is a proposed new [set of functions](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/34843) to make it easier for plugins and themes to extract data from `theme.json` settings and styles without having to use `WP_Theme_JSON_Resolver`. Also, usage of `InnerBlocks. Content` within blocks’ save functions [has been replaced](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/26031) with `useInnerBlocksProps.save` for better consistency with behavior in edit components. The full set of changes included in this release can be found below. ## Gutenberg 11.9.0 ### Features #### Block Library * New Block: Comment Reply Link.
