What’s Going to Happen With WordPress in 2026?

In this episode of the PublishPress podcast we welcome Birgit Pauli-Haack, a developer advocate for Automattic. She also publishes the Gutenberg Times which is the best place to keep up with everything that's happening with the block editor.

We discuss the recent release of WordPress 6.9, its new features, and the future of WordPress development next year, including the upcoming WordPress 7.0. What new features are we going to see in WordPress? What's happening with the 4 phases of Gutenberg?

We're excited again about WordPress after a slow year. There's the potential for transformative changes to WordPress in 2026.
