Title: Updates – Make WordPress Documentation --- # Tag Archives: Updates [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/estelaris/) [Estela Rueda](https://profiles.wordpress.org/estelaris/) 8:47 pm _on_ June 1, 2026 Tags: [helphub ( 44 )](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/tag/helphub/), Updates    # 󠀁[Important changes to the documentation articles](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2026/06/01/important-changes-to-the-documentation-articles/)󠁿 ## WordPress versions The [WordPress Versions](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-versions/) page has been revamped to improve access to information and ease its maintenance. ### Changes 1. The version order has been changed from ascending to descending, so the newest versions now appear at the top of the list. 2. Due to the size of the file, the page has been split into two pages: 3. a. [WordPress Versions](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-versions/)– starting at 5.0, this page will continue to house future releases. b. [WordPress Versions 0.7 to 4.9](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-versions-0-7-to-4-9/)– contains the oldest versions of WordPress, maintained for historical purposes. The [WordPress version changelog](https://wordpress.org/documentation/wordpress-version/version-7-0) has also changed as of WordPress release 7.0: the list of wordpress packages is no longer specifically updated for each release. Instead, each release will include a [note](https://wordpress.org/documentation/wordpress-version/version-7-0/#updated-packages) with more information where available. ## 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. article advanced settings update The Advanced Settings section on individual block pages now links to a page of shared advanced settings to improve maintainability. Block-specific settings will continue to appear on their respective block pages.

With an SEO plugin, the excerpt may also be in that plugin’s metabox.” in Reading Settings – Remove IE11 from the list of supported browsers – Twenty Fifteen, Twenty Fourteen, Twenty Thirteen, Twenty Twelve: Add Block Patterns – Customize: Bulk delete widgets – Add a copy-link button at the media upload page – Add ability to delete multiple menu items – Enable revisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision. for the reusable block 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.  ### DevHub updates: – Ability to mark the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. as unmanaged – Remove IE11 from the list of supported browsers – Add new actions to Site Health navigation – Remove the “Featured” tab in the Add Themes screen – Add capability to set the default format for image sub-sizes. – Standardise the terminology used for hooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress.

Once she has all the list of updates completed she’ll publish p2 with kind words and cookies, begging for help. But the shocking news is, there are no docs whatsoever about Site Health and that should be changed, regardless of the release. [@mkaz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mkaz/) basically the block editor and FSE updates for 5.8 reaching a finalized state, and he’ll work on updating the dev docs for those parts in the spreadsheet. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) agreed to [@zzap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) and said when he tried to look for “What the hell is the endpoint for Site Health” and couldn’t find any official information [@zzap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) talked to [@clorith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clorith/) about it. Apparently, they asked for dedicated space, didn’t move further with the request, and gave up No new block editor update [@clorith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clorith/) wasn’t sure with an ingrained knowledge of that issue, but so far we’ve been very good about documenting filters and actions that it has, as well as dev notes with releases under the **site-health tag** on make/coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. at least [@zzap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) wasn’t sure whether folks within here are tickets for the end-user as well. Here is the [link for the tickets](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?keywords=~needs-codex&component=Site+Health&group=resolution&col=id&col=summary&col=component&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&col=version&order=priority) [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) it looked like they can at least have an easy page created that kinda says “We have a Sitehealth piece” and this is what you can do ## New Member Mentoring No updates so far ## Theme Handbook Changes No updates so far ## Open Floor [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) was talking about [@Courtney](https://profiles.wordpress.org/courane01/)’ s [proposal](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4WU5/p1622226204156400) and [@zzap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) has been talking to [@mkaz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mkaz/) about this and he thinks it could be a good thing to propose once we get the team- reps channel. The doc team thinks that core dev should be paired with someone from docs as soon as the new feature is started developing. Or perhaps each component should have someone from docs looking after it and working with devs. Of course, we don’t have enough people but I’m thinking that this might actually attract more contributors due to close work with devs. [#meeting-minutes](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/tag/meeting-minutes/), [#taking-notes](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/tag/taking-notes/), [#updates](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/tag/updates/) * [Login to Reply](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fdocs%2F2021%2F06%2F03%2Fsummary-for-docs-team-meeting-june-1st-2021%2F%23respond&locale=en_US)
