(June 2026) **[WordPress Developer](https://daily.dev/sources/wordpressdev)** · 11 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary WordPress 7.0 'Armstrong' is out and the 7.1 development cycle is underway. Key highlights include: the media editor modal is now the default crop experience in Gutenberg 23.3; client-side media processing via VIPS/WASM is ready for testing; collaborative editing outreach has begun for 7.1. React 19 compatibility remains a watch item after a temporary revert due to plugin conflicts. Other notable updates cover the Abilities API refinements, PHP 8.5 full support clarification (minimum PHP 7.4, recommended 8.3), Unicode email support proposals, pseudo-state styles on individual block instances, responsive style states, and wp-now deprecation in favor of the Playground CLI. Playground also gained saved sites, a Sites API, and PHP.wasm extension improvements. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
