Styled and
responsive

Adjust responsive block styles and interactive states without CSS. Edit your media in a modern editor, add richer Notes and @mentions, and keep the tools you need close at hand.

Apply responsive styles

Style content your way, on every screen.

WordPress 7.1 takes a major step toward built-in responsive design. Set how a block looks at different screen sizes directly in the editor, for both Global Styles and individual blocks, all without writing custom CSS.

A new way to crop

One dedicated workflow for editing your images.

A new media editor modal replaces the old inline cropping tool, bringing freeform and aspect-ratio cropping, flip, precise rotation, and metadata editing together in a single streamlined workflow. The familiar Crop button still gets you there, now opening a dedicated space to crop, rotate, and adjust images before publishing.

Admin bar, now in every editor

Consistent navigation, from dashboard to editor.

The admin bar now stays with you across all editors, so you always know where you are. The admin bar also gets a small visual refresh.
