WordPress 5.8 Tatum has been released. It is considered the greatest release so far that can be downloaded and updated in the dashboard. Named after Art Tatum, a genius Jazz pianist, WordPress 5.8 Tatum brings some explicit features. The following abstracts throw more light on this.

WordPress 5.8 New Features

  1. Handle Widgets Through Blocks

Post rigorous effort, the significance of blocks ultimately has reached the Block Widgets and the Customizer. It thus allows users to add the blocks within the widget zones all through the site, providing live preview with the help of Customizer. This widens fresh scopes of developing content, starting from layout with no code to a massive library with core blocks and external blocks.

  1. Display Posts Along with Latest Blocks as well as Patterns

With Query Loop, it is possible to showcase posts by the set parameter; a PHP loop having no code can be the best example of this. It easily shows the posts belonging to certain categories effective for things like developing a portfolio, designing portfolios, or any page packed with favorite recipes.

Take it like a much sophisticated and effective block for Latest Posts! Additionally, pattern suggestions turn things simplest for preparing a line-up of posts along with the desired design. Those not accustomed well to these things may take the help of a custom WordPress development company.

  1. To Edit Templates Related to Posts

One can now use a user-friendly block editor for editing the templates containing the contents to make a block theme functional that has been selected as part of the feature. You can now shift from editing the posts to edit the pages and come back while making use of a useful block editor. One can explore above 20 fresh blocks as part of the compatible themes.

Workflow Support:

  1. Overviewing Page Structure

All that one needs on most occasions is a basic landing page. But, on some other occasions, one might need something more advanced. With increasing blocks, the patterns appear, and creating content becomes simpler, thus demanding fresh solutions for turning challenging contents look simpler from a navigation point of view.

List view is considered the simplest way of shifting between different stages of contents and nested blocks. As List View provides an overview regarding the entire set of blocks within the content, a user can now promptly navigate to the certain block that you desire.

  1. Recommended Block Patterns

The latest release brings the Pattern Transformation meant for recommending block patterns by the block being used. One can use the same through Query Block, as well as Social Icon. With more patterns being included, a user can get inspired regarding designing the site, not even exiting the editor.

  1. Plenty of Options for Colorizing Images

The latest release can help you in colorizing the images and wrap the blocks using duotone filters. Duotone can shade the design and make the image styled to meet well with the themes. One may take the duotone effect like a filter in black-white mode, but rather than the shadows appearing in black and highlights in white, it allows the user to select his/her colors.
