The WordPress community welcomes the latest iteration, version 6.4, named “Shirley,” which heralds enhanced editing, site-building features, and a versatile new default theme equipped with an extensive array of layout patterns.
“Shirley” aims to refine the user experience across the board, from casual bloggers to professional website developers. The release showcases the new Twenty Twenty-Four theme, designed to cater to diverse web creators including writers, artists, and entrepreneurs.
Josepha Haden Chomphosy, Executive Director of Automattic (WordPress) said “Many of the features and enhancements in WordPress 6.4 fall in the “small but mighty” category. Along with the adaptable beauty of the Twenty Twenty-Four theme, these updates help content creators and site developers alike save time and effort while delivering the high value, low hassle WordPress experience the world has grown to expect.”.
