WordPress 5.9 “Josephine” and Twenty Twenty Two


Along with the very latest release of the WordPress 5.9, codenamed Josephine, comes a new template: twenty twenty two. If you’ve always wanted greater control over the elements in the header and gutter, this full site editing template allows it.

Named in after the international jazz singer Joséphine Baker, this template is one of a handful of other FSE templates now available in your dashboard.

As a lifelong civil rights campaigner, Joséphine Baker believed that all people could live in harmony together, just as different instruments in a jazz band blend together to make a whole piece. Turn on a playlist from your favorite music service and enjoy her famous renditions of “You are the greatest love”, “Sans Amour”, and “Love is a Dreamer” as you discover all the features of this brand-new WordPress release.

Our verdict on the FSE tools? Well, the jury is out - the addition of the css editor was delayed, but a welcome improvment, but there's more limitations too especialy for the uninitiated (e.g. the loop). 

One thing you can do is cleverly retouch your images inside a gallery.
