Versie 6.1 van WordPress is uitgekomen. Met dit programma, dat onder een gpl-licentie beschikbaar wordt gesteld, is het mogelijk om een website of blog op te zetten en bij te houden. WordPress is eenvoudig in te stellen en kan binnen vijf minuten draaien mits er al een server met php en MySQL beschikbaar is. Er zijn mogelijkheden om de functionaliteit van WordPress verder uit te breiden met plug-ins en het uiterlijk met thema's aan te passen. De belangrijkste veranderingen die in versie 6.1 zijn aangebracht, zijn hieronder voor je op een rijtje gezet:
Twenty Twenty-Three: A fresh default theme with 10 distinct style variationsAfter introducing foundational elements for block themes and style variations in releases 5.9 and 6.0, WordPress site builders welcome a new default theme, Twenty Twenty-Three, that is powered by 10 different styles and tagged as “Accessibility Ready.” These intentionally unique styles ensure users can apply a different look and feel to their site with a single click—all within a single theme.
New templates for an improved creator experienceNew and more refined templates now give site builders more control over the creation of their sites. In this suite of new templates, find a custom template for posts & pages in the Site Editor. Create and edit template parts like headers and footers more quickly with a new search-and-replace tool and easily view your new site.
Design tools for more consistency and controlThoughtful upgrades to the controls for design elements and blocks make laying out and building your new site a more consistent, complete, and intuitive experience.
Manage menus with easeNew fallback options in the navigation block mean you can edit the menu that’s open; no searching needed. Plus, the controls for choosing and working on menus have their own place in the block settings. The mobile menu system also gets an upgrade with new features, including different icon options, to make the menu yours.
Cleaner layouts and document settings visualizationView and manage post and page settings with a better-organized display improving the use of features like template picker and scheduler.
One-click lock setting for all inner blocksWhen locking blocks, a new toggle lets you apply your lock settings to all the blocks in a containing block like the group, cover, and column blocks.
Improved block placeholdersVarious blocks have improved placeholders that reflect customization options to help you design your site and its content. For example, the Image block placeholder displays custom borders and duotone filters even before selecting an image.
Compose richer lists and quotes with inner blocksThe List and Quote blocks now support inner blocks, allowing for more flexible and rich compositions like adding headings inside your Quote blocks.
More responsive text with fluid typographyFluid typography lets you define font sizes that adapt for easy reading in any screen size.
Add starter patterns to any post typeIn WordPress 6.0, when you created a new page, you would see suggested patterns so you did not have to start with a blank page. In 6.1, you will also see the starter patterns modal when you create a new instance of any post type.
Find block themes fasterThe Themes Directory has a filter for block themes, and a pattern preview gives a better sense of what the theme might look like while exploring different themes and patterns.
Keep your Site Editor settings for laterSite Editor settings are now persistent for each user. This means your settings will now be consistent across browsers and devices.
A streamlined style systemThe CSS rules for margin, padding, typography, colors, and borders within the styles engine are now all in one place, reducing time spent on layout-specific tasks and helps to generate semantic class names.
Updated interface options and featuresUpdates include styling elements like buttons, citations, and links globally; controlling hover, active, and focus states for links using theme.json (not available to control in the interface yet); and customizing outline support for blocks and elements, among other features.
Continued evolution of layout optionsThe default content dimensions provided by themes can now be overridden in the Styles Sidebar, giving site builders better control over full-width content. Developers have fine-grained control over these controls.
Block Template parts in classic themesBlock template parts can now be defined in classic themes by adding the appropriate HTML files `parts` directory at the root of the theme.
Expanded support for Query Loop blocksNew filters let Query Block variations support custom queries for more powerful variations and advanced hierarchical post types filtering options.
Filters for all your stylesLeverage filters in the Styles sidebar to control settings at all four levels of your site—core, theme, user, or block, from less to more specific.
Spacing presets for faster, consistent designSave time and avoid hard-coding values into a theme with preset margin and padding values for multiple blocks.
Content-only editing support for container blocksThanks to content-only editing settings, layouts can be locked within container blocks. In a content-only block, its children are invisible to the List View and entirely uneditable. So you control the layout while your writers can focus on the content. Combine it with block-locking options for even more advanced control over your blocks.

. Ik doe het nooit meer zonder. Zo kun je alles altijd netjes testen voordat je update. En is makkelijk om designs te maken en vanuit daar te pushen naar de live omgeving.
