WordPress 7 is coming with new features
WordPress 7 is about to be released on April 9, 2026, and it's coming with some interesting features. From this post on X, I learned that the new v7 will have optional Google Docs style editing options as you see below:
Discussions about real-time collaboration are still ongoing to whether enable this by default or just keep optional. But most likely, it will be turned off by default.
Apart from this, WordPress 7 will have a new page for AI connectors as you see in the screenshot. As specified, all your API keys and credentials are stored here and shared across plugins. And I think, this is a good option.
Sometimes, I did have second thoughts about keeping my blog with 11ty or going back to WordPress as the Netlify build time of growing a lot. But then I started doing image optimizations locally and started hosting them externally on Cloudflare R2, this issue is now resolved. But I will keep an eye on WordPress, as an option for my personal site.
