Outlook
The final release of WordPress 7.0 is scheduled for April 9, 2026. As with any beta release, it is crucial to test these features on non-production sites to mitigate any issues before the stable version goes live.
With these advancements, WordPress aims to target better collaboration, efficiency, and responsiveness, positioning itself strongly in the evolving landscape of web content management.
What I mostly hate about this new WordPress build is the fact it includes AI, which is good and also annoying to most users as it over-automates simple things like categories. It also sometimes gives misinformation.
Why misinformation, Why?
Misinformation happens a lot due to the quality of data and most importantly, whatever the user says, it trains AI itself, that is why I don’t always rely on AI and double-check. In fact, this post actually real and doesn’t use AI
