After dropping 4.8 earlier this year, WordPress has dropped its 4.9 version, which is another major update. It was buzzing around from quite a while and users were hoping to see some major changes. WordPress has made it clear earlier that this update has nothing to do with WordPress 5.0 which will be powered by Gutenberg next year. So what was WordPress looking to give its users in 4.9 update? There are couple of major updates which are back after eight years. We have collected a list of features that are present in WordPress 4.9.
A change in Customizer is what every wordpress user wants. But just when you click the Save button, these changes went live. Now, that is certainly not a good thing when a visitor is on your site. One of the most exciting changes we found in this recent WordPress 4.9 is the save and schedule feature for all the changes.
Save and Publish button is changed to a new button with a small menu inside, offering users to Save Draft, Schedule, or Publish. We had this control on the main dashboard content of our website, and now we also have it in Customizer. You do not need to be time perfect for a new customization anymore.
After being missed by all WordPress users for eight long years, CodeMirror is back. No one is perfect in programming. You never know where you have missed a ; in the code. WordPress development was incomplete without CodeMirror. All of us were afraid of adding any code to our website because Save & Publish can hand you a lot of embarrassment if something was missing.
WordPress 4.9 will highlight syntax error with CodeMirror. It will even give you certain solutions about the missing code. It works swiftly on faulty syntax, missing elements and incomplete functions. New developers will get a lot of help with this update.
We saw new widgets like audio, image and video in WordPress 4.8 earlier this year. WordPress is ready to impress its users again with Gallery widget. There used to be a plugin just to add Gallery in your widget areas but WordPress 4.9 is more about functionality and less about bloating.
WordPress delivers it just when every web development company needs it. If a site supports oEmbed then you can embed videos from that site. Not only that, you can easily embed Live stream from your Facebook page with this great update.
