Notes have evolved to add inline notes with @mentions and rich text formatting that make asynchronous feedback feel more powerful. New styling features unlock long requested features to style how blocks look across screen sizes and to style interactive states, all without writing custom CSS. Various client side media improvements means better format support, improved performance, and more resilient uploads when adding media to your site. A new inline cropping tool brings a fresh and more robust experience to editing images. Finally, the admin experience becomes easier to navigate with an ever present admin bar in the editors, improvements to the command palette, and various quality of life improvements. Underneath it all, developers get an expanding set of APIs to build on, and site owners get better support for a truly global audience.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New suite of Notes features</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notes continue to grow into a fuller collaboration experience, making asynchronous feedback between teams faster and more expressive.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Text Formatting</strong>: Notes now support inline formatting like bold, italic, code, links and adding emoji; each with a respective keyboard shortcut, so feedback reads clearly without breaking your flow.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>@mentions</strong>: Type &#8220;@&#8221; in a Note to pull up a searchable list of collaborators and tag someone directly, so feedback points at the right person without leaving the sidebar.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Leave notes anywhere</strong>: Start more than one conversation on the same block instead of folding every comment into a single thread, making it easier to track distinct pieces of feedback.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Inline notes:</strong> Leave a note on a text selection instead of on an entire block.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Show more / show less</strong>: Long notes now collapse by default with a toggle to expand them, keeping the margin tidy while you write.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Style it your way, on any screen</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress 7.1 takes a major step toward built-in responsive design and interactive styling, letting you achieve looks that once required writing custom CSS.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Responsive styling</strong>: Define how a block looks at different screen sizes directly in the editor, for both Global Styles and individual blocks without the need of writing custom CSS.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Viewport breakpoint customization</strong>: Theme authors can now define their own responsive breakpoints in <code>theme.json</code>, giving more flexibility for how responsive controls behave on a given site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interactive state styling</strong>: Style how blocks respond to interaction, like a button changing color on hover or focus, using a standardized set of controls for both Global Styles and individual block instances.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A smoother media experience</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uploading, editing, and browsing media keeps getting more capable and more reliable.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Client-side media processing</strong>: Image and media processing moves into the browser, now with broader format support that includes HEIC (the default format for iPhone photos), UltraHDR, AVIF and WebP support built in,&nbsp;plus GIF-to-video conversion for lighter, more efficient files. Uploads are also more resilient, with a progress indicator and automatic retries if your data connectivity drops off.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>New Media Editor Modal</strong>: A dedicated modal for editing images replaces the inline cropping tool, bringing cropping, rotation, and metadata editing together in one streamlined workflow.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smarter galleries</strong>: Gallery blocks can automatically pull in and sort media already attached to the current post, cutting down on manual set-up.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>View attached images:</strong> After you upload images to a post, the inserter will automatically surface them in a new Attached images section to make it easier to find relevant images.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Infinite scrolling by default</strong>: The Media Library grid view now loads additional items automatically as you scroll, rather than requiring a click on &#8220;Load more&#8221; especially handy for sites that handle large media libraries. This can be disabled under your user profile.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A more personal, more navigable admin</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These meaningful upgrades make the WordPress admin easier to move around in and more consistent with how you like to work.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Persistent toolbar (Omnibar)</strong>: The admin toolbar now travels with you into the Site Editor and Block Editor, with a series of polish improvements throughout.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Command palette improvements</strong>: Moving through the dashboard and editor with the command palette <code>(Ctrl/Cmd+K)</code> is more refined to make finding what you need even faster! Now results are grouped into <em>Recent, matching and Suggestions</em> sections instead of one flat list.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Admin color scheme in the Site Editor</strong>: The Site Editor now reflects your chosen admin color scheme instead of always using a fixed background.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DataViews and DataForms iterations</strong>: Continued refinement of the components behind managing lists of posts, pages, patterns, and templates, alongside the forms used to edit them.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Excerpts in the Posts list</strong>: The Posts list view now shows a short excerpt for each entry, making it easier to identify the post you&#8217;re looking for without opening it.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visual revisions</strong>: This release adds a picker activity layout for browsing history in more detail, clearly labeled autosaves in the timeline, and an autosave notice that opens straight into the visual revisions view. Global Styles revisions get a small polish too, swapping the <em>active</em> style&#8217;s text label for a badge.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A dedicated Identity section</strong>: Site identity settings like your title, tagline, and icon are now live in their own clearly labeled section of the Site Editor, making them easier to find and update.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On This Day Widget</strong>: A new widget resurfaces what you published on this date in past years, right on your dashboard. A small nudge to look back on what you&#8217;ve written, and a reason to write something new today.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Allow Changing Comment Parent:</strong> Fixing a misthreaded comment used to mean editing the database directly. WordPress 7.1 adds an editable &#8220;In reply to&#8221; control to the Edit Comment screen, letting you pick a new parent from a dropdown of the post&#8217;s other comments. It&#8217;s scoped to the same post, so this is about untangling threads, not moving comments across posts.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New blocks and block-level enhancements</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress 7.1 release brings a handful of block refinements that give more control with fewer steps.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Playlist Block:</strong> A new block for adding a collection of audio files to a post or page, with an optional waveform visualization that shows the audio&#8217;s shape as it plays; a more visual way to present podcasts, music, or audio content without using any third-party plugins.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tabs Block:</strong> A new block for organizing content into clickable tabbed panels instead of showing everything at once. It&#8217;s a cleaner way to present related content without overwhelming the page.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Background gradients</strong>: Background gradients and background images no longer conflict. The gradient used to get silently overridden by the image, but now they combine and display together. This fix extends beyond the Group block to Verse, Accordion, Pullquote, Post Content, and Quote block.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HTML block editable content</strong>: The HTML block now supports editable nested blocks. This is great to use for AI-generated content, which often arrives as raw HTML.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>&#8220;Mark as decorative&#8221; for images</strong>: A new toggle on the Image block lets you hide purely decorative images from screen readers for a better accessibility experience.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smarter shortcode handling</strong>: Pasting or converting a shortcode into the Embed block now creates a proper Embed block instead of leaving raw shortcode text behind, and the Shortcode block gains block-specific transforms of its own.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Built for a global audience</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress 7.1 continues work to make Core reflect the full diversity of its worldwide community, with progress toward supporting Unicode email addresses so usernames, slugs, and email addresses can better represent users everywhere.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Built for developers</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress 7.1 continues to expand the foundation developers build on.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Abilities API expansion</strong>: Continued refinement of the Abilities API with improved querying, filtering, and input validation, giving developers and AI tooling a more reliable foundation to build on.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Block Bindings for list items</strong>: Block Bindings now extend to List Item, making it possible to connect more block content to dynamic data sources without custom code.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Custom icon registration</strong>: New functions let plugin and theme authors register their own icons for the Icons block for use throughout the block editor.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enforced iframed editor</strong>: The post editor now always runs inside an iframe, isolating the editing canvas from admin styles for more predictable rendering. Blocks using Block API v2 or lower should be updated to v3 for compatibility.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>wordpress/theme stabilization</strong>: Introduces design tokens and a stable React ThemeProvider to provide a more consistent, customizable foundation for WordPress admin interfaces.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connectors authentication improvements</strong>: The Connectors screen now also supports username and application-password login &#8211; a more familiar way to connect plugins and services. This release also closes a security gap where browsers could auto-suggest saved credentials into the API key field.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With so much in progress for WordPress 7.1 Beta 1, this is still only the beginning;

Nearby, Chase Field and the Footprint Center host professional baseball and live shows, and the surrounding desert offers striking scenery at places like Papago Park and the Desert Botanical Garden.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"fade\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1147\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-21052\" data-id=\"21052\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-1.png?resize=1920%2C1147&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-1.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-1.png?resize=300%2C179&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-1.png?resize=767%2C458&amp;ssl=1 767w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-1.png?resize=1024%2C612&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-1.png?resize=1536%2C918&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /></figure></li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"612\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-21053\" data-id=\"21053\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1024 / 612\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-2.png?resize=1024%2C612&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-2.png?resize=1024%2C612&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-2.png?resize=300%2C179&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-2.png?resize=768%2C459&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-2.png?resize=1536%2C918&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-2.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /></figure></li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"612\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-21054\" data-id=\"21054\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1024 / 612\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-3.png?resize=1024%2C612&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-3.png?resize=1024%2C612&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-3.png?resize=300%2C179&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-3.png?resize=768%2C459&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-3.png?resize=1536%2C918&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-3.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /></figure></li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"612\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-21056\" data-id=\"21056\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1024 / 612\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-4.png?resize=1024%2C612&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-4.png?resize=1024%2C612&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-4.png?resize=300%2C179&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-4.png?resize=768%2C459&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-4.png?resize=1536%2C918&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/phoenix-4.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /></figure></li></ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"></a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"></a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"></a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"></div></div></div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start with Contributor Day</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The week begins with <a href=\"https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/contributor-day/\">Contributor Day</a>, a full day set aside for giving back to the project that makes everything else possible.

teams develop features, manage publishing, and run demanding sites at scale. It brings to life the kind of work collected in the WordPress <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/showcase/\">Showcase</a>, the directory of standout sites built on the platform, from global brands like <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/showcase/disney-connect/\">Disney</a> to community publishers and institutions like <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/showcase/nasa/\">NASA</a>. Past WordCamp US Showcase days have brought teams from the likes of <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGvh7fCOUk0\">Wikimedia</a> and <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHk-Us00pTk\">CANCOM</a> to explain how they manage large, high-traffic systems. Other sessions took a builder&#8217;s perspective on catching bugs faster with automated testing and even running the Block Editor inside a custom app.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/Z637241.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21064\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/Z637241.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/Z637241.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/Z637241.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/Z637241.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/Z637241.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dive Into Two Conference Days</h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two main conference days will bring a full slate of sessions across four tracks. First among them is the AI track, which treats the technology as a tool to handle with care rather than a headline to chase. Its sessions set guardrails for AI-assisted development, prepare for a web where AI agents become the visitors a site must serve, and weigh the legal and ethical questions of putting AI tools in the hands of clients. Speakers from companies like Elementor will be taking a look at where the web is heading, while keeping the focus on what teams can adopt today without giving up control of their work.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Technical WordPress and Honing Your Skills tracks cover the craft and business of building with WordPress. On the technical side, sessions dig into modern development workflows, automated testing with tools like the browser-based <a href=\"https://playground.wordpress.net/\">WordPress Playground</a>, and plugin pipelines. The Honing Your Skills track adds practical guidance on pricing, maintenance, and how the agency model is changing as clients ask for more. The Beginner WordPress track keeps the door open for newcomers, with approachable sessions that make your first WordCamp less daunting. Hands-on work runs through all of these tracks, so alongside the talks, attendees will find workshops and working sessions where they can build something real and leave ready to apply it to their own projects.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;galleryId&quot;:&quot;6a651fa1d4941&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core/gallery\" class=\"wp-block-gallery alignfull has-nested-images columns-6

The full event lineup and details live on the <a href=\"https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/schedule/\">WordCamp US 2026 site</a>, and the conference closes with an evening social before everyone heads home.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-off-white-background-color has-background is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7c1a8141 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--edge-space);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--edge-space)\">\n<ol style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\" class=\"wp-block-list has-off-white-background-color has-background has-large-font-size wp-container-content-9cfa9a5a\">\n<li><strong><img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f39f.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" /> </strong><a href=\"https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/tickets/\">Reserve your ticket</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li><img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f6cf.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" /><a href=\"https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/about/travel-accommodation/\"> Find accommodations</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li><img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f68c.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" /><a href=\"https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/plan-your-trip-to-phoenix/\"> Plan your trip</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li><img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4cd.png\" alt=\"?\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" /><a href=\"https://www.visitphoenix.com/\">Explore Phoenix</a></li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-container-content-577e1c61\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2066\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/route-66-traveller-boy-scaled.png?resize=2066%2C2560&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21164\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/route-66-traveller-boy-scaled.png?w=2066&amp;ssl=1 2066w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/route-66-traveller-boy-scaled.png?resize=242%2C300&amp;ssl=1 242w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/route-66-traveller-boy-scaled.png?resize=826%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 826w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/route-66-traveller-boy-scaled.png?resize=768%2C952&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/route-66-traveller-boy-scaled.png?resize=1240%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1240w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/route-66-traveller-boy-scaled.png?resize=1653%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1653w, https://i0.wp.com/wordpress.org/news/files/2026/07/route-66-traveller-boy-scaled.png?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /></figure>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help Us Spread the Word!</h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether attending in person or following along online, share your experience and help welcome others to the WordPress community.
