Are you curious about the details of the WordPress 5.4.2 update?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contributors\u2019 Investigations Lead To Security Fixes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Kudos to WordPress contributors for discovering a handful of security issues in WordPress 5.3 & 5.4. Thanks to their private disclosure of these vulnerabilities, the security team was able to implement fixes before a chance for WordPress being compromised showed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With WordPress 5.4.2, the team introduced, among others, fixes to three XSS issues and open redirect issue in wp_validate_redirect()<\/em>. They\u2019ve also sealed the comments under password-protected posts and pages shut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those of you who haven\u2019t updated to 5.4 yet, the team has deployed a maintenance update to the previous versions of the platform, including WordPress 5.1, 5.2 & 5.3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With WordPress 5.4.2, a number of bugs in major WP\u2019s themes is fixed. Most of them relate to the Twenty Twenty theme, like fixing the dropdown category widget, anchor links for mobile menu, positioning of images in list blocks, or TikTok social icon. Others introduce changes to Twenty Nineteen and Twenty Eleven theme or fix the overall issue of spammers being able to share unmoderated comments. Head to Trac for detailed insight on all these<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Repeating the May pattern<\/a>, the core team has launched two <\/strong>new versions of Gutenberg in June 2020. Version 8.3 reorganized the block categories\u2019 set, introduced a parent block selector, user-controlled link color options, and experimental padding control. In Gutenberg 8.4, users can work with new image-editing tools and have the ability to edit options for multiple blocks. The \u2018block category search\u2019 feature is now removed from the experimental phase and available for all Gutenberg installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both releases are another step to closing the Full Site Editing and Navigation Screen project. For details on their improvements, follow for Gutenberg 8.3<\/a> and 8.4<\/a> documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After discussing the topic with the core Site Health team and the Hosting team, WordPress has bumped the minimum PHP recommendation to 7.2. This is reflected in the ServeHappy API, while the WordPress download page recommends 7.3 or newer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CodeCanyon\u2019s best-selling WordPress plugins<\/a> in June 2020 included a selection of various categories, mostly targeted towards end-user experience. See the Top 10 list below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last month was the time of maintenance and progress towards WordPress 5.5, scheduled to arrive in the upcoming weeks. A handful of features and fixes introduced in Gutenberg allows for even more customization than before. June also brought a slight mix-up on the Code Canyon\u2019s best-selling WordPress plugins, with FileBird advancing to the top three and Essential Grid Gallery jumping to #8. This calls for an interesting summer for the WordPress community!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s time to see what’s been cooking in WordPress in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":31526,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,90],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31519"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"WordPress](\"https:\/\/wpkraken.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/hands-typing-laptop-keyboard-1-1620x1080.jpg\")
