WordPress 5.0 Release: The New Frontier:- In case you are not updated with the latest news about WordPress, the most awaited version of WordPress that is 5.0 “Bebo” was now officially released on December 6, 2018.
WordPress 5.0 “Bebo” brings some big updates and the way we’ll do blogging. Here’s a look at what’s new in WordPress 5.0:
Gutenberg:-
Maybe the most awaited changes in the latest version is Gutenberg- Automatic’s own block based editing creation. While I have a sneaking doubt Gutenberg was truly made to make WordPress.com progressively focused with site builders like Wix or Squarespace, it’s been folded into WordPress.org too and touted as the eventual fate of WordPress. While we have a Gutenberg guide in progress, here’s a fast rundown on its features:
Designed to be an intuitive editor, Gutenberg provides users a variety of blocks to insert, edit and drag & drop to reorder. These covers mostly feature in previous TinyMCE but as visual blocks.
So users can take benefits from Gutenberg’s option to create unique & stunning posts/pages. But in real, for those who are running a straight forward blog, the new editor can slow you down a bit.

Twenty Nineteen Theme:-
2018 passed up so quick it didn’t get a theme with it’s own namesake. Rather we’ve bursted ahead into 2019 (it’s about the “future” of WordPress right?).
Intended to work with Gutenberg there’s truly not a lot to the Twenty Nineteen theme. It’s a negligible black & white styled theme utilizing system fonts. There’s a left adjusted logo and route menu, with one widget area in the footer. The main two one of a kind highlights give off an impression of being a social icons menu (added to the header) and a primary emphasize shading (which can be changed in the customizer) utilized for links, hover impacts and image channels.
Other than that Twenty Nineteen is a clear canvas. It truly is the thing that you make of it.
Other Notable Updates:-
Well, there aren’t any. The main focus of WordPress 5.0 was just to merge WordPress with Gutenberg. For developers, there are lots of changes but many are related to Gutenberg which includes:
- Vendor Dependencies
- WordPress-specific scripts
- Lodash default global scope
- New wp-element script handle to replace react for editor interface plugins
- Rest API Updates
