New WordPress Update : WordPress 5.0 "Bebo"

WordPress, the best CMS from the market and also my favorite one, have been updated today. As far as you will also update your WordPress, you will find new awesome features.

A new interactive drag-and-drop interface in the new post/new page section

WordPress “Bebo” recreates the way you will update your posts and pages. With the new block-based editor, the user will have the free-choice ability to create a new awesome page/post, having a more flexibility with how it’s website content will be displayed.

This isn’t something new. The basics of the WordPress are still there. But the brilliant part is that each piece of content will be on it’s own block. So you can move, stretch and rearange any of those blocks as you wish, without too much technical knowledges.

The users who want to edit it as HTML can press on the “More Options” button and press edit as HTML.

Block Editor

The block editor has been updated to match the Gutenberg 4.4 release, the major changes include:

• A permalink panel has been added to the document sidebar to make it easier to find.
• Editor document panels can now be programmatically removed.
• The uploading indicator for images and galleries has been replaced with a spinner and faded out image.
• The text and code editing blocks will now use the full width of the editor.
• Image handling has been improved. Images now take up the right amount of space for themes with wider editors (like Twenty Nineteen).
• Hover styles are now correctly disabled for mobile devices.
• The i18n module has been refactored to benefit from significant performance gains.

“Please! How to roll back to the old WordPress Version?”

To downgrade from WordPress 5.0 “Bebo” to an old version, you can install the “Official Classic Editor” plugin. By installing it, your old New Post/New Page template will appear again. This is how you will reinstall the old version of the WordPress.

“I’ve created an entire article/page on a single block, and I’ve deleted it by mistake”

Yeah, I know. A lot of bad emotions came when you deleted your last-hour work from mistake. Well, WordPress 5.0 give you the opportunity to UNDO any action you make. Let’s say you’ve written the entire article in a single block and, from mistake, you’ve deleted it. It happens, don’t worry.

What you have to do is to look in the top-left side of the Block-Editor for this sign:

More easy than this, you can simply press CTRL+Z, and your lost block will be restored.
