WordPress 4.0: the best features

WordPress 4.0 has new functions. We present the best features in this practical tip.

WordPress function: scrolling made easy

If you are a user of the "What you see is what you get" editor (WYSIWYG), you can look forward to the improved scroll function:

• If you have previously created an article and scrolled within the editor, the menu bar is also scrolled, which has easily led to frustration.
• With WordPress 4.0 the menu bar is now fixed and you can no longer accidentally scroll it away. This makes it easier for you to edit articles.

WordPress function: media preview

With WordPress 4.0, the preview of media, such as YouTube videos or tweets, has been improved within the editor.

• If you just insert the link of a YouTube video, you will get a preview in the editor.
• This also works with other media such as tweets. So you can see right away how the media can best be integrated into your post.

WordPress function: Find plugins faster

The display of the plugins has also been improved:

• The visual representation of the installable WordPress plugins takes an example from the Google Play Store.
• With a tile view you not only get more information about individual plugins, but you can also browse through the huge selection better.

You can also get help in our practical tips if, for example, you want to add a new user or want to update plugins automatically.
