This new editor can be accessed by opting to edit your current <em>template<\/em> or create a new one while you are building your page or post.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wordpress-5-8-2.jpg\" alt=\"The new Template Editor can be accessed from the WordPress Block Editor\u2019s sidebar by choosing to alter your current template or by creating a new one.\" \/><figcaption>The new Template Editor can be accessed from the WordPress Block Editor\u2019s sidebar by choosing to alter your current template or by creating a new one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"yellow\"><p><strong>Warning:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The template functionality will appear in the Gutenberg sidebar only if your theme supports post\/page templates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The look and feel of the Template Editor will be instantly familiar to most WordPress users as it is entirely based on the WordPress Block Editor interface. In fact, the most standout feature is that the Template Editor has access to a bunch of new blocks that are specific to Full Site Editing. Some of the more noteworthy additions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Site Logo<\/li>\n<li>Site Title<\/li>\n<li>Query Loop<\/li>\n<li>Post Title<\/li>\n<li>Post Content<\/li>\n<li>Post Excerpt<\/li>\n<li>Post Featured Image<\/li>\n<li>Log In\/Out<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wordpress-5-8-3.jpg\" alt=\"The Template Editor has access to FSE-specific blocks like Site Title, Post Title, Log in\/out buttons, and more.\" \/><figcaption>The Template Editor has access to FSE-specific blocks like Site Title, Post Title, Log in\/out buttons, and more.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"block-editor-improvements\">Block Editor Improvements in WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>While the Block Editor didn\u2019t see any groundbreaking features in WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d, it did gain a few quality-of-life improvements. Below, we will list the more noteworthy ones.<\/p>\n<p>First on our list is the addition of <strong>14 new blocks<\/strong> to Gutenberg. Most of these blocks are intended for Full Site Editing, such as Site Title, Site Logo, Site Tagline, and Page Lists.<\/p>\n<p>One other block that deserves a special mention is the <strong>Query Loop block<\/strong>. This is an advanced block that allows you to cycle through your WordPress database and display information about posts that meet specific criteria.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wordpress-5-8-4.jpg\" alt=\"The Query Loop block is capable of cycling through a predefined set of posts and displaying specific information about each entry.\" \/><figcaption>The Query Loop block is capable of cycling through a predefined set of posts and displaying specific information about each entry.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Speaking of blocks, the WordPress Block Editor is now able to <strong>suggest block patterns<\/strong> that you can instantly add to your page or post. These suggestions will become better over time as the number of blocks and block patterns grows.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wordpress-5-8-5.jpg\" alt=\"WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d now shows block pattern suggestions in addition to block search results.\" \/><figcaption>WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d now shows block pattern suggestions in addition to block search results.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When you start combining multiple blocks and block patterns, it can get increasingly difficult to keep track of your page structure. That is why WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d ships with <strong>improved block navigation<\/strong>. Now, the <em>ListView<\/em> will give you a better sense of the blocks and block patterns that comprise your page or post. Also, clicking on an element in the list will bring it into focus in the main content area.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wordpress-5-8-6.jpg\" alt=\"The improved block navigation that comes with WordPress 5.8 is all about being able to traverse your block structure with minimal effort.\" \/><figcaption>The improved block navigation that comes with WordPress 5.8 is all about being able to traverse your block structure with minimal effort.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lastly, we would be remiss if we did not mention the new <strong>Duotone Filters<\/strong>. These are special filters that you can place on your images. Once a filter is applied, the highlights and shadows of the image would be set to colors of your choosing.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wordpress-5-8-7.jpg\" alt=\"The new Duotone Filters in WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d are a great way to add some color and flair to your posts and pages.\" \/><figcaption>The new Duotone Filters in WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d are a great way to add some color and flair to your posts and pages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"webp-support\">WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d Officially Supports WebP<\/h3>\n<p>Another new feature that is a bigger deal than it may seem at first glance is the official support for <code>WebP<\/code> images. Developed by Google, <code>WebP<\/code> images offer better compression than <code>JPEG<\/code> and <code>PNG<\/code> while also preserving image quality.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"green\"><p><strong>Tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not all image editing applications support <code>WebP<\/code>. If you find that your preferred image editor lacks <code>WebP<\/code> support, then you can use Google\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/speed\/webp\/docs\/precompiled\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><code>WebP<\/code> conversion utility<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you start using <code>WebP<\/code> images, you will see an average size reduction between 25% and 34%. This, in turn, will help your pages load faster which will help with user retention and SEO.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"green\"><p><strong>Tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that this new <code>WebP<\/code> support will not affect images that you have already uploaded. If you wish to convert your existing images to <code>WebP<\/code>, you will need to use a plugin or do so manually.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"block-based-widgets\">WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d Introduces Block-Based Widgets<\/h3>\n<p>Another noteworthy feature in WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d is the new <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/what-is-widget-in-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">widget<\/a> system. Now, you can use the blocks that you know and love to customize the various widget areas on your site.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the classic widgets are not going away any time soon. They can now be found in a new <em>Legacy Widget<\/em> block. In fact, you can <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/add-widgets-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">add widgets<\/a> side-by-side and they will work flawlessly regardless of whether they are modern, legacy, or a combination of both.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/wordpress-5-8-8.jpg\" alt=\"The Widget editor can still be found in its old place in Appearance - Widgets, however now you have access to your block palette in addition to your classic widgets.\" \/><figcaption>The Widget editor can still be found in its old place in Appearance &#8211; Widgets, however now you have access to your block palette in addition to your classic widgets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"theme-json\">A New theme.json File Is Added to WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The addition of the new <code>theme.json<\/code> file in WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d will not get many regular WordPress users excited, however, it is a big deal for developers. Thanks to this new file, theme developers can now define styles and add presets without writing lengthy CSS code.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"dropping-ie11-support\">WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d Drops Support for Internet Explorer 11<\/h3>\n<p>The last noteworthy change that we will mention is that Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) is no longer supported in WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d. The lack of support means that if any new bugs are discovered, they will not be fixed in future versions of WordPress. If you are still using IE11, then we highly recommend that you upgrade to Microsoft Edge (the successor to Internet Explorer) or to one of the other modern web browsers that are available.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-i-update\">Should I Update My WordPress Site to WordPress 5.8 Tatum?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d represents a worthwhile update for all WordPress users. Aside from the many new user-facing features, this new version also packs important security and stability improvements. So, you should go ahead and <a href=\"\/wordpress-tutorials\/wordpress-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">update WordPress<\/a> as soon as possible. In fact, it may have already updated on its own if you have automatic updates turned on.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"green\"><p><strong>Tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do not forget to back up your WordPress site before performing the update! While no crashes are expected, it is always better to be safe than sorry!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>While not a major breakthrough, WordPress 5.8 \u201cTatum\u201d takes yet another step toward Full Site Editing thanks to the revamped Widgets section and the inclusion of the Template Editor. People who value performance and speed will also appreciate native <code>WebP<\/code> support. And developers can save themselves from having to write hundreds of lines of CSS code by leveraging the new <code>theme.json<\/code> file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WordPress 5.8 &#8220;Tatum&#8221; is the latest version of WordPress.
