WordPress has been updated to version 6.6.2. These updates bring some changes to the Block Editor’s UI that are important to share, in addition to some other updates for the site’s settings. You can see the updates below:
- GA Universal Settings removed from Customizer after the retirement of universal analytics from Google Analytics’ platform.
- Discussion setting present in the right side panel for pages, and is set to “closed” by default. This should remain unchanged for all pages.
- “Move to Trash” option removed from UI in the block editor, but it is still available in the Pages view in the dashboard.
- Parent page, page template, order, and revisions moved to the top of the page settings outside of an accordion.
- Side panel lists the word count and read time for the page’s content.
- Command Palette visible at the top of the editor. Note: this is a WordPress feature for very advanced users and isn’t supported by Web Services.
