Key Features Of WordPress 6.5
Developers And Content Creator Benefits
Manage And Add The Fonts To Your Website
WordPress 6.5 gives you more control over the typography of your site. Install, uninstall, and enable local and Google Fonts on your website with ease for any Block theme. Adding custom font collections to a website offers publishers and developers even more options.
Improved Shadow And Background Functions
Examine further methods for enhancing layouts’ visual appeal with the latest design tools. You can make your backdrop photos blend in or stand out by adjusting the size, repetition, and focal point choices. To give your designs a bit more personality or visual depth, add shadow supports to additional blocks.

Upgraded Link Controls
A more user-friendly link-building experience, with a simplified user interface and a shortcut for copying connections, makes it simple to create and manage links.
Learn More Fresh Data Views
Every component of your website has a library of data and information, so you can easily locate what you need and arrange it in any way you see fit. With the ability to toggle fields and perform mass modifications, data views for pages, templates, patterns, and template sections allow you to see data in a table or grid format.
Performance Updates
With over 110 performance improvements, the Post Editor and Site Editor now operate much faster and more efficiently. With input processing speeds up to five times quicker than in version 6.4, loading is more than twice as quick. With this update, translated websites see load times that are up to 25% faster.
Enhancements In Accessibility
And A Lot More
Better Control Over The Photos In The Cover Blocks
Aspect ratios for Cover block pictures may be set, and you can quickly add colour overlays that use the colour of your selected image as its automatic source.
Improved Drag-And-Drop Functionality
We are also very excited about the improved drag-and-drop functionality. When you drag and drop a block now, you don’t have the blue line anymore, and you can see the block’s name and where it will be placed. We think you will agree that this has been a much-needed update.
Block Bindings API
Developers can leverage the block bindings API to connect custom fields to blocks. This flexibility enables core blocks to be connected to dynamic content as required, enhancing the overall customisation options within WordPress. The Interactivity API provides developers with a standardised way to use blocks to create interactive front-end experiences. It maintains maximum performance while streamlining the process and reducing reliance on outside tools. Use it to provide engaging user experiences, such as real-time content interaction or instantaneous search result retrieval.
Custom Fields Integration
WordPress 6.5 introduces a seamless integration of custom fields with core block attributes. This allows users to easily utilise the value of a custom field without the need to create custom blocks. Developers may expand this feature to link blocks to any dynamic material, even outside of custom fields, thanks to the Block Bindings API. With only a few lines of code, you may point blocks to a different source if data is stored somewhere else.
Appearance Tools For Classic Themes
Explore Techniques To Improve The Plugin Experience
Plugin dependencies may now be managed more easily. By including a comma-separated list of necessary plugin slugs in a new Requires Plugins header, plugin writers may provide users with URLs to install and activate those plugins beforehand.
In Addition, Several Novel Techniques Have Been Presented, Including
- next_token(): Which advances the document’s token to the following one.
- get_token_type(): Gets the detected token’s type.
- get_token_name(): Returns a token’s name.
