Shifter System Status

April 2023

Improvement

Users can now update their locale language on the Billing page of their Shifter account to ensure that their invoices appear in their preferred language. This resolves the issue with language settings that could potentially cause confusion in billing.

Update

Shifter Static and Headless sites now run on WordPress version 6.2.

Some of the new features in WordPress 6.2 include:

  • Site Editor with an updated interface that provides more control over the editing experience.
  • Navigation block with a new sidebar experience that makes it easier to manage complex menus.
  • Block Inserter with a refreshed design that gives more visibility and easier access to content.
  • Organized block settings sidebar with tabs for Settings and Styles for easy access to the tools needed.
  • Collection of header and footer patterns that can be used with any block theme as a starting point for site templates.
  • Openverse media integrated into the Editor for easy access to a library of free, openly licensed stock images and audio.
  • Distraction-Free mode for a writing-focused, distraction free experience.
  • Style Book that provides a complete overview of how every block in the site library looks.
  • Copy and paste styles from one block to another for consistent design.
  • Custom CSS for more control over site appearance.
  • Sticky positioning to keep top-level group blocks fixed to the top of a page as visitors scroll.
  • Import your favorite widgets from Classic themes to Block themes.
  • Default WordPress themes now include Google Fonts for better privacy with local fonts in themes.
