In my case, I was lucky, all my plugins work out of the box with WordPress 7.0. What about you guys, any problems with the latest version?
I also saw some wordpress.org plugins, which I was using in some cases, which now break on latest update.
Hopefully you also got lucky and got away without any major issues.
Same for me all my plugins work and look exactly the same nothing special…
I am playign with WP 7.0 the backend is so fast not sure what they did but is great!
Nothing broke, but total s**tshow in terms of design:
They changed the height, line-height, focus, outline etc of a lot of elements. Therefore any UI that used default WP elements, buttons, select2 is now f**ked.
I’d have at least understood it if they went in some progressive great new direction pushing the ecosystem forward. Instead their “brilliant” idea was to make everything blocky and square with no border-radius.
That’s what the ecosystem needed, big blocky squares all over the place. Absolute geniuses the guys in charge of WP…
I also saw some weird buttons and input fields with some more padding in them, in my case I was less affected by this, as I don’t have much front end stuff… but my backend admin is a bit cramped now, probably will need an update, as it is not as usable as before…
Yes but it is soo fast the backed is like it is a new product.
As for the styling this is why I use my own custom build UI so that it will not be impacted by this updates, it h append in the past as well I learned my leson!
how do you do the custom build UI? curious about how that works technically?
I usually use a ton of very specific !important CSS. And that works for the most part.
I didn’t get major issues but the problem is I have fine-tuned things like outlines, box-shadows, borders, alignments and this update just created all sort of small issues and misalignments: nothing major but enough to ruin my day.
Someone designed the visual layout for me in Figma, and after that I coded everything in WordPress to fit my specific needs. I only needed a few core components, such as tabs and dialogs, which were enough for my plugins, along with some custom components tailored to each product.
All components use my own CSS and JavaScript, so they remain completely independent from WordPress itself. No matter what changes happen in WordPress, they won’t be affected.
Here’s an example:
Thank you, good ideas!
