Zoom out view for site editing

It would be easier if you could narrow the view to see more of the content layout.

in WordPress 6.7New reduced view featureThis will be realized. Users can edit the pattern on a larger scale. Simply click the Zoom Out button in the upper right toolbar.

Media File Improvements

If you've tried to upload photos directly from your iPhone, iPad, or other Apple device before, you've found that HEIC files are difficult.

One of the major updates to WordPress 6.7 is support for theHEIC image uploadThe

The WordPress site willAutomatically convert HEIC images to JPEGto achieve better compatibility between devices and browsers.

However, this feature requires the server to have Imagick installed which supports HEIC files.

Can be transferred to"Tools" ""Web site health""page and switch to the "text" tab to see if the site supports HEIC conversion.

Scroll down toMedia Processing" ImageMagick supported file formatssection and look up HEIC.

During our testing, we found no degradation in image quality, which is good news for users who want to share high-quality photos.

WordPress will display the JPEG version of the image. However, if the image is linked to an attached file, users will be able to download the original HEIC image.

Another improvement is the enhanced handling of background images. It is now possible to have better control over the background image at the individual block level and globally.

Finally, WordPress 6.7 continues to improvedelayed loading. In our experience, this feature ensures that only theLoad image when neededand thus improve performance.

These improvements enhance media compatibility and performance. They help administrators manage content more efficiently without worrying about technical limitations.

Preview Options API

The new Preview Options API allows developers toAdd custom preview settings. This makes it easier to see how the content will be displayed before publishing.

In our testing, we found that this API enabled a smoother workflow. For example, developers can create custom preview formats based on specific user needs.

This is useful for sites with multiple layouts or environments where different views are important to the final appearance.

refinement query loop block

In previous versions, setting up query loops required manual configuration, which was unfriendly to newbies.

WordPress 6.7 allows query loop blocks to automatically inherit queries from templates by default.

It greatly simplifies the process. Posts will automatically show up in the editor and front-end with no additional setup required.

Fonts can now be grouped by font source. The interface can even activate or deactivate multiple fonts at the same time.

Interactive API Enhancements

This release makes the API more stable and efficient, helping to enable features such as delayed loading and instruction code splitting.

Users can add a gallery block containing a number of images and link them to the "Expand when clicked" to see it in action.

After that, simply preview the gallery in the browser tab and click on an image.

Images that need to be enlarged will display an enlargement icon. Clicking on them will open them in a lightbox pop-up window.

This update improves the performance of the Interaction API. We believe that more plugins and themes will use this API to realize dynamic functionality in the future.

Block libraries and patterns

WordPress 6.7 will have a new version of theblock libraryMake several improvements. Here are some of the most useful changes.

1. Reference and group blocks support background images

It is now possible to add background images to Quote and Group blocks. This makes it easy to add more visual interest to blog posts.

An important improvement is the reordering of fields directly in the Data View Configuration user interface. This allows users to more easily customize how data is displayed and managed.

We also noticed improvements in batch operations and the user interface.

For example, the Batch Actions menu has been moved to the footer, merging it with the Floating Toolbar and improving its overall usability.

Sophisticated data view features simplify data organization, filtering and manipulation, making the editor even more powerful.

Direct management of block bindings

The Block Binding API introduced in WordPress 6.5 is getting a major update in WordPress 6.7. This update will improve developers' ability to manage custom fields and attributes within blocks.

One of the biggest changes is a new user interface (UI) that lets users create and manage bindings directly in the block editor.

It is no longer necessary to use the code editor to link block properties to custom fields. Instead, users can select metadata from the new UI in Block Settings.
