The WordPress 5.5 Field Guide has pertinent, in-depth information on the major technical changes for this release.

Installation/Update Information

To download WordPress 5.5, update automatically from the Dashboard > Updates menu in your site’s admin area or visit the release archive.

For step-by-step instructions on installing and updating WordPress:

Highlights #

Speed #

Posts and pages feel faster, thanks to lazy-loaded images.

Images give your story a lot of impact, but they can sometimes make your site seem slow.

In WordPress 5.5, images wait to load until they’re just about to scroll into view. The technical term is ‘lazy loading.’

On mobile, lazy loading can also keep browsers from loading files meant for other devices. That can save your readers money on data — and help preserve battery life.

Top ↑

Search #

Say hello to your new sitemap.

WordPress sites work well with search engines.

Now, by default, WordPress 5.5 includes an XML sitemap that helps search engines discover your most important pages from the very minute you go live.

So more people will find your site sooner, giving you more time to engage, retain and convert them to subscribers, customers or whatever fits your definition of success.

Security #

Auto-updates for Plugins and Themes

Now you can set plugins and themes to update automatically — or not! — in the WordPress admin. So you always know your site is running the latest code available.

You can also turn auto-updates on or off for each plugin or theme you have installed — all on the same screens you’ve always used.

Update by uploading ZIP files

If updating plugins and themes manually is your thing, now that’s easier too — just upload a ZIP file.

Highlights from the block editor #

Block patterns #

New block patterns make it simple and fun to create complex, beautiful layouts, using combinations of text and media that you can mix and match to fit your story.

You will also find block patterns in a wide variety of plugins and themes, with more added all the time. Pick any of them from a single place — just click and go!

Top ↑

Inline image editing #

Crop, rotate, and zoom your photos right from the image block. If you spend a lot of time on images, this could save you hours!

Top ↑

The New Block Directory #

Now it’s easier than ever to find the block you need. The new block directory is built right into the block editor, so you can install new block types to your site without ever leaving the editor.

Top ↑

And so much more. #

The highlights above are a tiny fraction of the new block editor features you’ve just installed. Open the block editor and enjoy!

Top ↑

Accessibility

Every release adds improvements to the accessible publishing experience, and that remains true for WordPress 5.5.

Now you can copy links in media screens and modal dialogs with a button, instead of trying to highlight a line of text.

You can also move meta boxes with the keyboard, and edit images in WordPress with your assistive device, as it can read you the instructions in the image editor.

Top ↑

For developers #

5.5 also brings a big box of changes just for developers.

Top ↑

Server-side registered blocks in the REST API #

The addition of block types endpoints means that JavaScript apps (like the block editor) can retrieve definitions for any blocks registered on the server.

Top ↑

Dashicons #

The Dashicons library has received its final update in 5.5. It adds 39 block editor icons along with 26 others.

Top ↑

Defining environments #

WordPress now has a standardized way to define a site’s environment type (staging, production, etc). Retrieve that type with wp_get_environment_type() and execute only the appropriate code.

Top ↑

Passing data to template files #

The template loading functions (get_header(), get_template_part(), etc.) have a new $args argument. So now you can pass an entire array’s worth of data to those templates.

Top ↑

More changes for developers #

• The PHPMailer library just got a major update, going from version 5.2.27 to 6.1.6.
• Now get more fine-grained control of redirect_guess_404_permalink().
• Sites that use PHP’s OPcache will see more reliable cache invalidation, thanks to the new wp_opcache_invalidate() function during updates (including to plugins and themes).
• Custom post types associated with the category taxonomy can now opt-in to supporting the default term.
• Default terms can now be specified for custom taxonomies in register_taxonomy().
• The REST API now officially supports specifying default metadata values through register_meta().
• You will find updated versions of these bundled libraries: SimplePie, Twemoji, Masonry, imagesLoaded, getID3, Moment.js, and clipboard.js.

Adding WordPress plugins #

There are many “add-on” scripts and programs for WordPress called Plugins that add more capabilities, choices, and options to your WordPress site. WordPress Plugins do many things, including customizing the results of your site information, adding weather reports, adding spell check capability, and presenting custom lists of posts and acronyms. For more on how to work with Plugins and where to find WordPress Plugins for your site:

• Managing your WordPress Plugins
• WordPress Plugins
• The WordPress Plugin Directory

As like as Theme, you can create a new WordPress Plugin from scratch, or do major renovations. Please visit WordPress Plugin Developer Handbook for detail.

The post New to WordPress – Where to start first appeared on CODIBU.

WordPress started as a simple blogging system in 2003, but it has evolved into a full CMS with thousands of plugins, widgets, and themes. It is licensed under the General Public License (GPLv2 or later).

To learn more about WordPress, please refer to the list of standard WordPress features.

The post Overview of WordPress first appeared on CODIBU.

• PHP version 7.3+
• MySQL version 5.6+ or MariaDB version 10.1+
• HTTPS support

We recommend Apache and NGINX as the most robust servers with the most features for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do.

Note: WordPress also works in legacy environments with PHP 5.6.20+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached official end-of-life and as such may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.
