Show Notes

Birgit Pauli-Haack and Anne McCarthy joined this “At The Core” episode to highlight what's ahead in WordPress 7.1. Anne, as release lead, outlined major features like responsive styling, persistent admin bar, and improved inline notes. Birgit emphasised practical upgrades such as the new image crop modal and customisable viewports. Both guests celebrated the retention of the Classic Block after strong community feedback. Anne also covered the collaborative editing outreach effort, while Birgit explained developer-focused changes and the importance of testing. Together, Birgit and Anne championed community transparency, robust security, and a smoother WordPress core experience. All very cool!
