(11 March) “What’s new in 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/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)…” posts (labeled with the [#gutenberg-new tag](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/gutenberg-new/)) are posted following every Gutenberg release on a biweekly basis, showcasing new features included in each release. As a reminder, [here’s an overview](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/05/20/ways-to-keep-up-with-full-site-editing-fse/) of different ways to keep up with Gutenberg and the Editor. [[ Gutenberg 22.7 has been released and is [available for download](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/)! ### Table of contents 1.

[Contributors](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/03/11/whats-new-in-gutenberg-22-7-11-march/#contributors) ## New Connectors Screen and 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. We have added a new “Connectors” adminadmin (and super admin) page under Settings > Connectors, which allows users to see and manage their connectors. We using an OpenAI connector demonstration as the first example, and we’ve also provided extension hooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same. for plugins to add their own connectors. These screens are still in an experimental state. ([75833](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75833), [75948](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75948), [76014](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76014)) [[ ## Previews for style variation transforms Style variation transforms now display a preview in the editor. This makes it easier to see the impact of transformations before committing to the change. [[ Style variations are now also available for patterns in contentOnly mode. ([75889](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75889), [75761](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75761)) ## Improved Visualizer responsiveness in Grid 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. The Grid block Visualizer is now synchronized quickly and accurately with the selected number of columns: [[ This makes it easier and quicker to build grid based layouts. ([75820](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75820)) ## Playlist block now has a visualizer We added WaveForm Player as a visualizer to the Playlist block. This gives users a visual representation of the audio file they are listening to, and opens the door to more designs for the block: [[ Please note that this block is still in an experimental state. ([75203](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75203)). ## Other Notable Highlights * **Content Guidelines:** We added a new experimental REST APIREST API The REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. It is how the front end of an application (think “phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store( think “database” or “file system”) [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/) and 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., to allow WordPress site owners to define and manage site-wide content rules ([75164](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75164), [76187](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76187), [75420](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75420), [76155](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76155)) * **wp-env:** We added phpMyAdmin support to the wp-env Playground runtime and introduced a new `phpmyadmin` boolean configuration option for cleaner enable/ disable control. ([75532](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75532)) * **Components:** We added `word-break: break-word` to buttons to fix buttons with very long text ([76071](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76071)) * **Custom CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets.**: We now allow defining custom selector for CSS selectors in block.jsonJSON JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML., which means that Global Styles can be applied to elements within the block. ([75799](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75799)) * **Media Library**: Optimise image loading for the media thumbnail field for better performance ([75811](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75811)) * **Real Time Collaboration:** Real Time Collaboration is now enabledf by default( [75739](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75739)) ## Changelog ### Enhancements * Add phpMyAdmin support to wp-env Playground runtime.
