@WordPress is picking up speed in 2026.
WordPress is returning to three major releases, with 7.0 expected around March–April — signaling a faster, more modern roadmap.
What’s ahead: • A native, provider-agnostic AI Client • Ongoing admin & UX improvements • Real-time collaboration in Gutenberg • Faster templates and layouts • Higher PHP requirements for performance
Why it matters
AI becomes a first-class citizen in WordPress, making automation and intelligent features easier to build — without heavy custom systems.
2026 will reward teams that adapt early.
At ONE° Studio, we’re already aligning our #WordPress and #commerce work with what’s next.
