On May 24th WordPress 6.0 was released and I’m excited to see the changes and future upcoming additions and improvements to the CMS. WordPress noted that this release has over 600 updates and over 600 bug fixes from more than 500 open-source contributors. I wrote out a quick list of features that came in 6.0 down below, but you can also watch a cool video the WordPress team put out showing what the update is bringing, which is also down below.
Fun fact that the WordPress team included in their blog post for WordPress 6.0, is that WordPress powers more than 42% of websites worldwide. That is just amazing.
