WordPress 4.7 “Vaughan”

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. New features in 4.7 help you get your site set up the way you want it.

Introducing WordPress 4.7


Presenting Twenty Seventeen

A brand new default theme brings your site to life with immersive featured images and video headers.

Twenty Seventeen focuses on business sites and features a customizable front page with multiple sections. Personalize it with widgets, navigation, social menus, a logo, custom colors, and more. Our default theme for 2017 works great in many languages, on any device, and for a wide range of users.


Your Site, Your Way

WordPress 4.7 adds new features to the customizer to help take you through the initial setup of a theme, with non-destructive live previews of all your changes in one uninterrupted workflow.

Theme Starter Content

https://wordpress.org/news/files/2016/12/starter-content.mp4

To help give you a solid base to build from, individual themes can provide starter content that appears when you go to customize your brand new site. This can range from placing a business information widget in the best location to providing a sample menu with social icon links to a static front page complete with beautiful images. Don’t worry – nothing new will appear on the live site until you’re ready to save and publish your initial theme setup.


Edit Shortcuts
https://wordpress.org/news/files/2016/12/edit-shortcuts.mp4

Visible icons appear to show you which parts of your site can be customized while live previewing. Click on a shortcut and get straight to editing. Paired with starter content, getting started with customizing your site is faster than ever.



Video Headers
https://wordpress.org/news/files/2016/12/video-headers.mp4

Sometimes a big atmospheric video as a moving header image is just what you need to showcase your wares; go ahead and try it out with Twenty Seventeen. Need some video inspiration? Try searching for sites with video headers available for download and use.




Smoother Menu Building



Many menus for sites contain links to the pages of your site, but what happens when you don’t have any pages yet? Now you can 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.



Custom CSS



Sometimes you just need a few visual tweaks to make your site perfect. WordPress 4.7 allows you to add custom CSS and instantly see how your changes affect your site. The live preview allows you to work quickly without page refreshes slowing you down.





PDF Thumbnail Previews



Managing your document collection is easier with WordPress 4.7. Uploading PDFs will generate thumbnail images so you can more easily distinguish between all your documents.



Dashboard in your language



Just because your site is in one language doesn’t mean that everybody helping manage it prefers that language for their admin. Add more languages to your site and a user language option will show up in your user’s profiles.




Introducing REST API Content Endpoints

WordPress 4.7 comes with REST API endpoints for posts, comments, terms, users, meta, and settings.

Content endpoints provide machine-readable external access to your WordPress site with a clear, standards-driven interface, paving the way for new and innovative methods of interacting with sites through plugins, themes, apps, and beyond. Ready to get started with development? Check out the REST API reference.


Even More Developer Happiness
Post Type Templates

By opening up the page template functionality to all post types, theme developers have even more flexibility with the WordPress template hierarchy.

More Theme API Goodies

WordPress 4.7 includes new functions, hooks, and behavior for theme developers.

Custom Bulk Actions

List tables, now with more than bulk edit and delete.

WP_Hook

The code that lies beneath actions and filters has been overhauled and modernized, fixing bugs along the way.

Settings Registration API

register_setting() has been enhanced to include type, description, and REST API visibility.

Customize Changesets

Customize changesets make changes in the customizer persistent, like autosave drafts. They also make exciting new features like starter content possible.

WordPress Services WordPress 4.7 Release Candidate

The release candidate for WordPress 4.7 is now available.

RC means we think we’re done, but with millions of users and thousands of plugins and themes, it’s possible we’ve missed something. We hope to ship WordPress 4.7 on Tuesday, December 6, but we need your help to get there. If you haven’t tested 4.7 yet, now is the time! To test WordPress 4.7, you can use the WordPress Beta Tester plugin or you can download the release candidate here (zip).

WordPress 4.7 is a jam-packed release, with a number of features focused on getting a theme set up for the first time. Highlights include a new default theme, video headers, custom CSS, customizer edit shortcuts, PDF thumbnail previews, user admin languages, REST API content endpoints, post type templates, and more.

We’ve made quite a few refinements since releasing Beta 4 a week ago, including usability and accessibility enhancements for video headers, media and page template support in starter content, and polishing of how custom CSS can be migrated to and extended by plugins and themes. The REST API endpoints saw a number of bugfixes and notably now have anonymous comment off by default.

Not sure where to start with testing? Try setting up a fresh site on a new installation with Twenty Seventeen (hint: head into customizing your site before touching any pages or widgets) and taking notes on what you enjoyed and what got you stuck. For more details about what’s new in version 4.7, check out the Beta 1, Beta 2, Beta 3, and Beta 4 blog posts.

Think you’ve found a bug? Please post to the Alpha/Beta support forum. If any known issues come up, you’ll be able to find them here.

Developers, please test your plugins and themes against WordPress 4.7 and update your plugin’s Tested up to version in the readme to 4.7. If you find compatibility problems please be sure to post to the support forums so we can figure those out before the final release – we work hard to avoid breaking things. An in-depth field guide to developer-focused changes is coming soon on the core development blog.

Do you speak a language other than English? Help us translate WordPress into more than 100 languages! And if you haven’t yet done so, now is a great time to take the Annual WordPress Survey and send it on to your friends.

Happy testing! And now for another Rami Abraham haiku break.

Custom CSS: Renamed the unfiltered_css meta capability to edit_css and added revisions support to the custom_css post type.

REST API endpoints: There have been a number of changes over the past week; your attention is requested on the following:

The DELETE response format has changed and may need to be accounted for. (#38494)
Enabled querying by multiple post statuses. (#38420)
Return an error when JSON decoding fails. (#38547)

WordPress 47 is slated for release on December 6, but we need your help to get there We’ve been working on a lot of things, many of them to make getting your site set up the way you want it much easier Here are some of the bigger items to test and help us find as many bugs as possible in the coming weeks:


Twenty Seventeen – A brand new default theme brings your site to life with immersive featured images, video headers, and subtle animations With a focus on business sites, it features multiple sections on the front page as well as widgets, navigation and social menus, a logo, and more Personalize its asymmetrical grid with a custom color scheme and showcase your multimedia content with post formats Our default theme for 2017 works great in many languages, for any abilities, and on any device
Video Headers – Sometimes a big atmospheric video as a moving header image is just what you need to showcase your wares; go ahead and try it out with Twenty Seventeen Need some video inspiration? Try searching for sites with video headers available for download and use
Set up your site in one flow – From finding and installing themes right inside the customizer, to automatically staged theme-specific starter content, to clickable shortcuts that jump directly to editing an item from the preview pane, to adding pages while you’re building a nav menu or setting a static front page: getting a new site spun up and ready to share with a friend or a coworker is faster and easier than it’s ever been Note: starter content appears when live previewing brand new sites and is currently only available in Twenty Seventeen We’ll be expanding this to other bundled themes very soon, and perhaps to sites with existing content in future releases of WordPress
Custom CSS with live previews – Ever needed to hide or tweak the look of something in your theme or from a plugin? Now you can do it with CSS and live preview the results while customizing your site CSS can be a powerful tool; you may find that you won’t need the theme editor or child themes anymore
User admin languages – Just because your site is in one language doesn’t mean that everybody helping manage it prefers that language for their admin To try this out, you’ll need to have more than one language installed, which will make a user language option available in your profile
PDF thumbnail previews – Uploading PDFs will now generate thumbnail images so you can more easily distinguish between all your documents


As always, there have been exciting changes for developers to explore as well, such as:


REST API content endpoints – If you only test one thing as a developer, please test these This phase is particularly helpful for people building plugins, themes, and in-admin interfaces Can you build the things you need? Are these ready for release, and is the world ready for them? (#38373)
WP_Hook – The code that lies beneath actions and filters has been overhauled You likely aren’t affected, but if you’ve done things to the $wp_filter global or experienced funky recursion bugs in the past, please take a moment to read the dev note and test your code
Custom bulk actions – List tables, now with more than bulk edit and delete
Expanded Settings Registration API via register_setting()
For theme developers: Post type templates (#18375)
More goodies for theme developers!
Locale switching (#26511)
Comment allowed checks have the potential for a back-compat break


If you want a more in-depth view of what major changes have made it into 47, check out posts tagged with 47 on the main development blog, or look at a list of everything that’s changed There will be more developer notes to come, so keep an eye out for those as well

WordPress 4.6 adds them automatically for your styles and scripts making your site even faster. Robust Requests The HTTP API now leverages the Requests library, improving HTTP standard support and adding case-insensitive headers, parallel HTTP requests, and support for Internationalized Domain Names.
