The recent release of WordPress 6.1 — “Misha” — ushered in a suite of updates and new features. All have been met with positive feedback thus far, as 6.1’s enhancements deliver more options for seamless site control. Among all the exciting new experiences Misha has to offer is a brand new default theme: Twenty Twenty-Three.
New and Notable in Twenty Twenty-Three
Twenty Twenty-Three is the product of strong community collaboration, as many of its features (including style variations) stem from user feedback and submissions. There’s plenty to look forward to with Twenty Twenty-Three, including:
Clean Design
Twenty Twenty-Three has been called a “stripped down” version of Twenty Twenty-Two, the default theme introduced with WordPress 5.9. Twenty Twenty-Three has a clean, modern, and minimalistic appearance. Think of it as a blank slate, ready and waiting for complete customization. This theme’s simplistic design also makes it an ideal testing environment.
10 Style Variations
One of the most-anticipated aspects of Twenty Twenty-Three is its ten style variations, all submitted by real users. Community members submitted 38 distinct styles, and after careful consideration, the WordPress 6.1 release team selected ten styles for the final product. This means users have a wide array of unique choices regarding their sites’ look and feel, from traditional and classy to dark and atmospheric.
To view the ten style variations, first open the Site Editor (Appearance > Editor). Next, click the “Styles” icon in the toolbar located at the top-right of the page. After that, choose “browse styles.” This lets you preview each style with your content in real-time — no surprises here.
Responsiveness
Twenty Twenty-Three includes fluid typography and spacing, with no extra coding necessary. Create a site that looks great and functions well on any device, from smartphone to desktop. Paired with the style variations, responsive design ensures your WordPress website is always professional and eye-catching.
Accessibility
This default theme comes with all the new accessibility features available in Misha. There are 60 accessibility updates in total, allowing more users than ever to access your WordPress 6.1 site with ease. Install Twenty Twenty-Three to take advantage of them.
