Welcome to โMishaโ
Say hello to WordPress 6.1, โMisha,โ inspired by the life and work of jazz pianist Mikhail โMishaโ Alperin. Ukrainian-born Misha introduced the work of jazz ensembles globally and is celebrated as a founding member of the Moscow Art Trio.
โMishaโ further refines the site-building experience. Inside WordPress 6.1 youโll interact with enhancements that continue to make site creation more intuitive while pushing your creative boundaries further than ever. Donโt forget to enjoy some of Mishaโs jazz piano as you take in all WordPress 6.1 has to offer.
The third major release of 2022 is here. Download it now! As of the time of this release, WordPress powers 43% of websites worldwide.
Site owners and administrators should upgrade today to take full advantage of the many stability, performance, and usability enhancements. Furthermore, WordPress content creators will enjoy a suite of new features geared toward improving the writing and designing experiences.
This release includes features that many in the WordPress Community have been most excited about since the start of this project. Additional enhancements and improvements to the editor give site owners more control and easier customization while offering a more cohesive experience to users. A lot of writing-focused improvements are included in the release, because if youโre giving voices to the voiceless youโve got to focus on folks writing the copy.
Some of my favorite enhancements are the refined ability to select partial paragraphs in a block; settings to keep list view open by default; and the keyboard shortcut to add internal links expanded to all blocks.

Whatโs Inside
Twenty Twenty-Three:
A fresh default theme with 10 distinct style variations
After introducing foundational elements for block themes and style variations in releases 5.9 and 6.0, WordPress site builders welcome a new default theme, Twenty Twenty-Three, that is powered by 10 different styles and tagged as โAccessibility Ready.โ These intentionally unique styles ensure users can apply a different look and feel to their site with a single clickโall within a single theme.
New templates for an improved creator experience
New and more refined templates now give site builders more control over the creation of their sites. In this suite of new templates, find a custom template for posts & pages in the Site Editor. Create and edit template parts like headers and footers more quickly with a new search-and-replace tool and easily view your new site.
Design tools for more consistency and control
Thoughtful upgrades to the controls for design elements and blocks make laying out and building your new site a more consistent, complete, and intuitive experience.
Manage menus with ease
New fallback options in the navigation block mean you can edit the menu thatโs open; no searching needed. Plus, the controls for choosing and working on menus have their own place in the block settings. The mobile menu system also gets an upgrade with new features, including different icon options, to make the menu yours.
Cleaner layouts and document settings visualization
View and manage post and page settings with a better-organized display improving the use of features like template picker and scheduler.
One-click lock setting for all inner blocks
When locking blocks, a new toggle lets you apply your lock settings to all the blocks in a containing block like the group, cover, and column blocks.
Improved block placeholders
Various blocks have improved placeholders that reflect customization options to help you design your site and its content. For example, the Image block placeholder displays custom borders and duotone filters even before selecting an image.
Compose richer lists and quotes with inner blocks
The List and Quote blocks now support inner blocks, allowing for more flexible and rich compositions like adding headings inside your Quote blocks.
More responsive text with fluid typography
For developers working with block themes and/or theme.json, fluid typography lets you define font sizes that adapt for easy reading in any screen size.
Add starter patterns to any post type
In WordPress 6.0, site builders could add suggested patterns so that when creating a new page, you did not have to start blank. In 6.1, site builders can continue to opt-in to this feature for not only pages but for any post type.
Find block themes faster
The Themes Directory has a filter for block themes, and a pattern preview gives a better sense of what the theme might look like while exploring different themes and patterns.
Keep your Site Editor settings for later
Site Editor settings are now persistent for each user. This means your settings will now be consistent across browsers and devices.
A streamlined style system
The CSS rules for margin, padding, typography, colors, and borders within the styles engine are now all in one place, reducing time spent on layout-specific tasks and helps to generate semantic class names.
Updated interface options and features
Updates include styling elements like buttons, citations, and links globally; controlling hover, active, and focus states for links using theme.json (not available to control in the interface yet); and customizing outline support for blocks and elements, among other features.
Continued evolution of layout options
The default content dimensions provided by themes can now be overridden in the Styles Sidebar, giving site builders better control over full-width content. Developers have fine-grained control over these controls.
Block Template parts in classic themes
Block template parts can now be defined in classic themes by adding the appropriate HTML files `parts` directory at the root of the theme.
Expanded support for Query Loop blocks
New filters let Query Block variations support custom queries for more powerful variations and advanced hierarchical post types filtering options.
Filters for all your styles
Leverage filters in the Styles sidebar to control settings at all four levels of your siteโcore, theme, user, or block, from less to more specific.
Spacing presets for faster, consistent design
Save time and avoid hard-coding values into a theme with preset margin and padding values for multiple blocks.
Content-only editing support for container blocks
Thanks to content-only editing settings, layouts can be locked within container blocks. In a content-only block, its children are invisible to the List View and entirely uneditable. So you control the layout while your writers can focus on the content. Combine it with block-locking options for even more advanced control over your blocks.
Other notes of interest
- 6.1 includes a new time-to-read feature showing content authors the approximate time-to-read values for pages, posts, and custom post types.
- The site tagline is empty by default in new sites but can be modified in General Settings.
- A new modal design offers a background blur effect, making it easier to focus on the task at hand.
