Introduction

• The all new WordPress 4.8 has been released
  officially.
• Naturally, it is a lot different from its earlier
  versions and offers more features too. 
• Let us have a quick look at what the features are
  that make WordPress 4.8 unique
• Before trying out the 4.8 version of WordPress,
  you should keep in mind that because this is a
  purely WordPress release, therefore you may not
  be given the privilege of the automatic update
  unless your site is operated on a managed
  WordPress hosting service.
• In that case, you must initiate the update
  yourself. 
• In addition, make it a point to keep a complete
  backup of all the features of your WordPress site
  before initiating the update.

  offers users to upload a video directly from

  also upload audio clips to your web page with the

  the visual text editor is much better and more
  user-friendly in the WordPress 4.8.

  features incorporated in it and therefore it has
  become all easier to place your text in the
  format you want to.

  users to navigate among links in a comprehensible
  manner.

Meetup and WordCamp News

• The former versions of WordPress used to display
  only news on the dashboard.
• However, the new WordPress has come up with a
  Meetup feature that also allows users to
  participate in certain WordPress activities by

• You can now easily insert header texts.
• Although WordPress has been improvising upon
  their header styling since its 4.3 version, the
  4.8 is way better as it has all header styles
  sorted out and users can easily differentiate
  between the different headers.
•  This is one of the great steps taken to boost
  your SEO.
