The road towards WordPress 6.5

WordPress 6.5, scheduled to land on March 26th, 2024, is actively underway. My friend Anne shared Roadmap to 6.5 on the Make WordPress blog, detailing the ambitious goals for the first major release of next year.

The marquee planned additions are the font library, colorways, patterns for classic themes, data views for templates and patterns, more robust revisions, the Interactivity API, custom fields, and block binding APIs. Lots to look forward to!

    Custom fields looks very interesting, and particularly ambitious. I’ll be following along.

      I agree! There’s a lot of potential on that front. How would you leverage the API?

    Custom fields support would be amazing, might even stop using Elementor altogether if that’s implemented.

      Feels. How are you leveraging them in Elementor?

    Quite excited by custom fields too ! Performance should be a huge focus as ACF slow request by almost 30%

    Thanks for the post. Great news about custom fields. I am already using this extension, which works well in FSE templates too.
