With Release Candidate 1 shipped and the Field Guide published, the feature set is settled. It\u2019s a \u201cfinish what we started\u201d release that builds on 7.0\u2019s foundations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Interactive states styling<\/strong> is the headline feature: style <code>:hover<\/code>, <code>:focus<\/code>, and <code>:active<\/code> from the interface, no CSS required.

Here\u2019s what\u2019s worth your attention in 7.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress 7.0 \u201cArmstrong\u201d was a landmark release: the first provider-agnostic AI Client and a top-to-bottom admin redesign, building on the Notes async-collaboration feature that arrived in WordPress 6.9. But a few headline items didn\u2019t make the cut \u2014 most notably real-time collaboration and client-side media processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress 7.1 is the second major release of 2026, and it\u2019s a \u201cfinish what we started\u201d release: ship the styling and media features that got punted from 7.0, polish the admin experience, and add two genuinely new blocks. The bigger AI and collaboration follow-ups slipped again \u2014 more on that below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is what\u2019s confirmed in WordPress 7.1, what got cut this cycle, and whether you should update on day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A note on timing<\/strong>: This preview originally tracked a moving target, but the target has stopped moving. Feature freeze hit with Beta 1 on July 15, and <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/2026\/08\/wordpress-7-1-release-candidate-1\/\">Release Candidate 1 shipped August 5<\/a> alongside the official Field Guide. From here to release day it\u2019s bug fixes only \u2014 what follows is confirmed, not predicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-7-1-release-timeline\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress 7.1 release date and timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress 7.1 is scheduled for release on August 19, 2026, the final day of WordCamp US in Phoenix. The cycle picked up an extra beta along the way (folded into the unplanned 7.0.2 release), so the official schedule now runs through four betas and three release candidates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Milestone<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>March 27, 2026<\/td><td>Alpha begins; trunk opens<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>July 15, 2026<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Beta 1<\/strong> \u2014 feature freeze, testing starts<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>July 17, 2026<\/td><td>Beta 2 (released early alongside 7.0.2)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>July 22, 2026<\/td><td>Beta 3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>July 29, 2026<\/td><td>Beta 4<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>August 5, 2026<\/td><td>Release Candidate 1; Field Guide published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>August 6, 2026<\/td><td>Release Candidate 2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>August 12, 2026<\/td><td>Release Candidate 3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>August 18, 2026<\/td><td>Dry run + 24-hour code freeze<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>August 19, 2026<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Official release<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Release Squad:<\/strong> Anne McCarthy (Release Lead), with Aki Hamano and Joe Dolson as Tech Leads.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-part-1-features-most-likely-to-land-in-7-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress 7.1 features: what\u2019s confirmed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything here is confirmed for the release, checked against the <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/2026\/08\/05\/wordpress-7-1-field-guide\/\">WordPress 7.1 Field Guide<\/a> and the Release Candidate announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-1-interactive-states-styling-hover-focus-active-no-css-required\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

WordPress 7.1 introduces <strong>pseudo-state styling<\/strong> for both Global Styles and individual blocks. You can style how a block looks on <code>:hover<\/code>, <code>:focus<\/code>, and <code>:active<\/code> (like a button that changes color when you mouse over it, or a link that shifts on focus) all from the interface, without touching CSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What this means for you:<\/strong> Interactive design that used to require custom CSS (or a page builder) now lives in the native editor. A single block can carry its own hover styles without changing every other instance of that block on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-medium-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:#fcb900\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Heads up:<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><em> Not every block exposes these state controls at the block level yet \u2014 coverage is still expanding block by block, so preview the blocks you rely on before building a design around them.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1250\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard.png.webp\" alt=\"WordPress 7.1 design interface showing customization panels for styles, colors, typography\" class=\"wp-image-85738 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard.png.webp 1999w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-600x375.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-1200x750.png.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-730x456.png.webp 730w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-1460x913.png.webp 1460w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-784x490.png.webp 784w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-1568x980.png.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-877x548.png.webp 877w, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/07\/01-wordpress-7-1-dashboard-1754x1097.png.webp 1754w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1999px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1999\/1250;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-2-three-new-core-blocks-playlist-table-of-contents-and-tabs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Their fates split in 7.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-client-side-media-processing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Client-side media processing: confirmed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Punted from 7.0, confirmed in 7.1. <strong>Images are processed in the browser before upload<\/strong> \u2014 HEIC and Ultra HDR conversion, GIF-to-video, and more resilient uploads with a progress indicator and automatic retries if your connection drops. A new <strong>media editor modal<\/strong> replaces the old inline cropper, bringing free-form cropping, rotation, and metadata editing together in one workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-real-time-collaboration-still-unresolved\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real-time collaboration: punted again<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The big one didn\u2019t make it. Real-time (Google-Docs-style simultaneous) editing was pulled from 7.0 over stability concerns, and in July 2026 the release lead confirmed it was <strong>punted from 7.1 entirely, including the underlying primitives<\/strong>. The Field Guide lists it under \u201cWhat changes didn\u2019t make the 7.1 release.\u201d The async Notes improvements above are what collaboration looks like in 7.1; live co-editing waits for a future release.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-part-3-the-wishlist-cool-to-have-but-don-t-bet-on-it\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What didn\u2019t make it into WordPress 7.1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The honest cut list, straight from the Field Guide and the release team\u2019s scope calls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Table of Contents block \u2014<\/strong> in development since 2022, punted to WordPress 7.2 at Beta 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Real-time collaboration \u2014<\/strong> see above; punted entirely, including primitives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Guidelines \/ wp_knowledge \u2014<\/strong> the merge proposal was declined before Beta 1; the feature continues as a Gutenberg plugin experiment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u201cOn This Day\u201d dashboard widget \u2014<\/strong> punted to 7.2 pending more design input.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>React 19 \u2014<\/strong> deferred beyond 7.1; the release stays on React 18.3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unicode email addresses \u2014<\/strong> dropped at Beta 3 over security concerns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still on the community wishlist for future releases: deeper responsive design controls (per-breakpoint everything, not just a subset of properties) and interactive-state styling on every block consistently.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-happened-to-hiding-the-classic-block\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happened to Hiding the Classic Block?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quick clarification, because it flip-flopped: an earlier plan to <strong>hide the Classic block from the inserter<\/strong> in 7.1 was <strong>reversed<\/strong>. The core\/freeform (Classic) block stays visible, the deprecation notice was removed, and the related filter never shipped in a stable release. The reasoning: \u201cThe Classic block should become obsolete by choice, not by force.\u201d Instead, effort is going into a better \u201cConvert to Blocks\u201d experience and closing the gaps (tables, inline formatting, HTML preservation) that keep people on Classic in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-bottom-line\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress 7.1 isn\u2019t a reinvention \u2014 it\u2019s a sharpening. Styling finally reaches into interactive and responsive states without code, media processing moves to the browser, two long-awaited blocks arrive, and Notes grows into a genuinely useful feedback tool. The bigger AI and collaboration ambitions wait for another cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-should-you-update-on-release-day\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should you update on release day?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most sites, yes \u2014 after a test run. The change with the most compatibility teeth is the enforced iframed editor: custom blocks still on Block API v2 or lower need updating to v3. Clone your site to staging, run the update there, and click through the editor, your key plugins, and any custom blocks before touching production. If you rely on heavily customized blocks and can\u2019t test right away, waiting for the first minor release costs you nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If 7.0 laid the groundwork, 7.1 is where a lot of it becomes something you\u2019ll actually click, style, and ship \u2014 starting August 19. Build accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-wordpress-7-1-faq\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress 7.1 FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-when-will-wordpress-7-1-be-released\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will WordPress 7.1 be released?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress 7.1 is scheduled for release on August 19, 2026, the final day of WordCamp US in Phoenix. Release Candidate 1 shipped August 5, 2026, so the feature set is final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-are-the-biggest-new-features-in-wordpress-7-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the biggest new features in WordPress 7.1?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interactive state styling (hover, focus, active) and responsive styling without custom CSS, client-side media processing with a new media editor modal, two new blocks (Tabs and Playlist), and upgraded Notes with @mentions and inline notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-new-blocks-does-wordpress-7-1-add\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What new blocks does WordPress 7.1 add?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two: the Tabs block and the Playlist block (with waveform visualization). The Table of Contents block was punted to WordPress 7.2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-will-real-time-collaboration-ship-in-wordpress-7-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will real-time collaboration ship in WordPress 7.1?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Real-time collaboration was punted from WordPress 7.1 entirely, including its underlying primitives. Asynchronous Notes improvements \u2014 @mentions, inline notes, rich text \u2014 are the release\u2019s collaboration story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-is-it-safe-to-update-to-wordpress-7-1-on-day-one\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it safe to update to WordPress 7.1 on day one?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, but test on staging first. The enforced iframed editor can break custom blocks still on Block API v2 or lower, so update a staging copy and check your editor and plugins before production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"article-cta-shared article-cta-small article-cta--product\">\n\t<div class=\"tr-img-wrap-outer jsLoading\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"js-img-lazy \" src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/blog2018\/assets\/img\/lazy-loading-transparent.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/product-cta-wordpress-hosting-877x586.webp 1x, https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/product-cta-wordpress-hosting.webp 2x\"  alt=\"website management by DreamHost\" \/><\/div>\n\n\t<a href='https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/wordpress\/managed\/' class='link-top' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer'>\n\t\t<span>WordPress Hosting<\/span>\n\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" width=\"15\"><path d=\"M342.6 233.4c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3l-192 192c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0s-12.5-32.8 0-45.3L274.7 256 105.4 86.6c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.8 0-45.3s32.8-12.5 45.3 0l192 192z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t<\/a>\n\n\t<div class=\"content-btm\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"h2--md\">\n\t\t\tUnbeatable WordPress Hosting\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"p--md\">\n\t\t\tReliable, lightning-fast hosting solutions specifically optimized for WordPress.\n\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t        <a\n            href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/wordpress\/managed\/\"\n                        class=\"btn btn--white-outline btn--sm btn--round\"\n                                    target=\"_blank\"\n            rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n            >\n                            See More                    <\/a>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WordPress 7.1 brings hover and focus styling without CSS, three new core blocks, smarter AI tools, and a polished admin.
