Dear community,

The new release comes with great enhancements and improvements. A new era in WordPress theme editing has dawned with the debut of the new template editor. It allows users to manipulate templates (home, single post, etc) and template parts (headers, footers, etc) with a visual interface.

-Archive Title and a bunch of other things furthermore...
note: Site editor blocks can also be used inside a WordPress post or page if needed.

Another important feature of the site editor is the ability to create new styles for the theme that will be applied across the site.
How: well its just that easy: To customize - we just need to click on the Style icon on the top right corner of the screen when editing any post or page.
For block themes, the new Site Editor and Styles interface has replaced the former Customizer. If you use a block based theme - you do not need the customizer any more,
But there is even more: Styles lets users customize their sites with different colors, typography, and layouts, as well as give blocks a more unifying appearance.

**Twenty Twenty-Two: **A New Default Theme for Building Beautiful Block-based Websites
Twenty Twenty-Two is bundled in WordPress Version 5.9 as the first ever block-based default theme. You can dive into the FSE very easily by picking the TT2 Theme and start with thi new standard-default-theme.
It has a lot of benefit: It comes with many pre-designed color palettes and a beautiful array of great (and lovely) patterns that you can use for all kinds of creative combinations. Twenty Twenty-Two (TT2) was built to showcase full-site editing features, so the layout of every page can be completely customized; Therefore we can say: it is a truly multipurpose theme. Try it out.
