Highlights from the block editor

Once again, the latest WordPress release packs a long list of exciting new features for the block editor. For example:Video: In the editor, the block inserter shows two tabs, Blocks and Patterns. The Patterns tab is selected. There are different block layouts in this tab. After scrolling through options including buttons and columns, a pattern called “Large header with a heading” is chosen. This adds a cover block, which is customized with a photo and the name of the WordPress 5.5 jazz musician.

Video: An image is added with an image block. In the block toolbar, an icon called “Crop” is selected, which changes the toolbar to show image resizing tools. First, zoom is used to zoom into the center of the image. Next, aspect ratio is clicked. This shows a dropdown of common aspect ratios. Square is chosen, and the image is moved within the new square outline. The crop is completed by clicking “Apply.”

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!

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!

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.

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!
