Content
your
way
WordPress 6.9 introduces a more intuitive way to create content, together. Every detail is designed to fit your creative flow, from Notes that let you collaborate directly in the editor to a powerful Command Palette that helps you reach every part of your site.
Get WordPress 6.9
Notes
Leave feedback right where you’re working.
With notes attached directly to blocks, your team can stay aligned, track changes, and turn feedback into action all in one place. Whether you’re working on copy or refining design, collaboration happens seamlessly on the canvas itself.
Visual drag and drop
Design flows naturally.
Building layouts is now more intuitive and flexible with clear drag handles and a live preview that shows exactly what you’re moving—a faster way to build pages.
Command Palette, everywhere
Your tools, always at hand.
Access the Command Palette from any part of your site, whether you’re writing your latest post, deep in design in the Site Editor, or browsing your plugins. Everything you need, just a few keystrokes away.
Fit text to container
Content that adapts.
A new typography option for text-based blocks, starting with the Paragraph and Heading blocks, that automatically adjusts font size to fill its container perfectly. Ideal for banners, callouts, and standout moments in your design. No manual tweaks, just an instant clean design.
Performance
WordPress 6.9 includes a broad set of performance enhancements. A better LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) metric is achieved through improved loading of conditional and inlined stylesheets, script loading with fetchpriority support, and additional core optimizations. Editor advances include fixes for layout shifts caused by the Video block and faster loading of the terms selector.
70+ accessibility fixes and enhancements focus on central areas of the WordPress experience. From globally hiding CSS-generated content from assistive technology and improvements to screen reader announcements and user experience, to fixing cursor position and keeping typing focus when clicking on an autocomplete suggestion item.
Enhanced details and new blocks
The Abilities API
This new unified system lets developers register and run actions consistently across PHP, REST, and AI contexts, enabling more flexible and connected site interactions.
Aspect ratio in gallery
You can now set a fixed aspect ratio for images in gallery blocks. This helps your galleries look more consistent and aligned without any extra effort or adjustments.
Accordion block
Add collapsible sections to any page with the new accordion block. It’s great for FAQs, menus, or long content you want to keep neat and easy to explore.
Time to read block
Show how long a post takes to read with an automatic time estimate. This helps readers know what to expect before they start reading your content.
Math block & format
You can now add math formulas using the new MathML block. It’s made for clear, accessible display of complex math directly in the editor window.
Bind controls to external sources
Enhance the integration of external services by granting third-party developers the ability to extend the block bindings user interface with their own sources.
