2021 in Review: WP Highlights

Posted on by
  • WP continued to increase its market share from 39% of the web to 43%.
  • WP 5.9 release delayed to 2022 (that’s a good thing – wait till its ready).
  • The WP People in Charge (PIC) dug in their collective heels even deeper on the unfortunate Gutenberg editor, doubling down on it as “the future of WordPress for the next decade”. Thank goodness for the Classic Editor plugin.
  • WordPress 5.8 added support for the WebP image format.
  • The Wix/WP Kerfuffle provided some of the best, funniest entertainment of the year.
