WordPress 4.7 “Vaughan” Released

WordPress 4.7 "Vaughan" has just been released! Check out the new features in the article below.

Version 4.7 of WordPress, named “Vaughan” in honor of legendary jazz vocalist Sarah “Sassy” Vaughan, is available for download or update in your WordPress dashboard.

Awesome new features in 4.7 help you get your site set up the way you want it:
  • New 2017 Theme brings your site to life with immersive featured images and video headers. Multiple sections. Personalize it with widgets, navigation, social menus, a logo, custom colors, and more.
  • New customizer feature helps make initial setup of a theme easy, starter content, edit shortcuts, video headers and non-destructive live previews of all changes for an uninterrupted workflow.
  •  Custom CSS! WordPress 4.7 allows you to add custom CSS and instantly see how your changes affect your site. No more plugins required!
  •  Smoother menu building with automatic page creation. Add new pages while building menus instead of leaving the customizer and abandoning your changes. Once you’ve published your customizations, you’ll have new pages ready for you to fill with content.
  • Multi-language dashboard makes administration of sites easy no matter where in the world your developer, admin, editor, or author is located! 
  • WordPress 4.7 comes with REST API endpoints for posts, comments, terms, users, meta, and settings.
  • Post Type Templates: Functionality to all post types has been opened up so theme developers have even more flexibility with the WordPress template hierarchy. 
  • Custom Bulk Actions: List tables, now with more than bulk edit and delete.
