Faz apenas alguns meses que o WordPress 3.5 foi lançado (11 de dezembro de 2012, para ser exato). Bem, a próxima versão principal, o WordPress 3.6, já está em andamento. Espera-se que o WordPress 3.6 seja lançado no final de abril de 2013. Estamos acompanhando os desenvolvimentos do WordPress 3.6 e decidimos compartilhar com você os recursos que esperamos. Neste artigo, discutiremos os recursos que virão no WordPress 3.6.
Melhores controles editoriais
O WordPress 3.6 será uma ótima atualização, especialmente para blogueiros e editores de conteúdo. Ela se concentra na área de edição de postagens, fornecendo melhores ferramentas e suporte para aprimorar o processo editorial de criação de conteúdo com o WordPress.
Bloqueio de postagens
O WordPress 3.6 terá um recurso de controle editorial, chamado post lock. Isso permitirá que os administradores e autores do site bloqueiem uma postagem para que outros usuários não possam trabalhar na mesma postagem até que ela seja desbloqueada. Se o outro usuário tiver direitos para editar uma publicação, ele será solicitado a voltar atrás ou assumir o controle. Esse é um recurso muito interessante para blogs com vários autores.
Salvamento automático aprimorado
O foco do WordPress 3.6 será a edição de conteúdo, portanto, o recurso de salvamento automático terá grandes melhorias. Fala-se em salvar as alterações não salvas no armazenamento local do navegador. Isso será muito útil, pois evitará que você perca publicações devido a cookies expirados, perda de conexão com a Internet, navegação inadvertida, erros de plugin ou de núcleo ao salvar, falhas no navegador, falhas no sistema operacional, gatos andando no teclado etc. Se alguma dessas situações ocorrer, você poderá retomar a edição exatamente de onde parou.
O objetivo é fazer com que as pessoas confiem suas publicações ao WordPress. O recurso de salvamento automático foi introduzido por esse mesmo motivo, porque as pessoas tinham medo de perder seu trabalho. Essa é a razão pela qual muitos usam aplicativos de terceiros, como o Windows Live Writer, para escrever suas publicações no WordPress. A esperança é que, ao aprimorar o recurso de salvamento automático, muitos usuários comecem a confiar nos recursos de salvamento automático do WordPress.
Melhor tratamento das revisões de posts
As revisões de posts agora refletirão as alterações entre diferentes versões. As alterações serão destacadas com cores e elementos visuais, para que você possa perceber rapidamente a diferença entre elas.
Fluxo de trabalho editorial
Houve conversas sobre a integração de um dos melhores plug-ins de fluxo de trabalho editorial ao núcleo. No entanto, devido a restrições de tempo, esse recurso não será adicionado ao WordPress 3.6. Os esforços não foram desperdiçados porque trouxeram à tona muitos desafios envolvidos no processo. Isso permitirá que a equipe principal se prepare com antecedência para a próxima versão. (Veja a explicação de Mark Jaquith). Bem, nada com que se preocupar. Você ainda pode usar o plug-in Edit Flow (nós o estamos usando).
Interface de usuário nova e aprimorada para formatos de postagem
Como você sabe, o WordPress oferece suporte a Post Formats e formatos de post personalizados. No entanto, a interface antiga não era muito perceptível. No WordPress 3.6, haverá uma nova interface de usuário para formatos de postagem. Os usuários poderão escolher e alternar entre os formatos de postagem, e a área de edição mudará de acordo com o formato da postagem. A inspiração para essas mudanças vem do plug-in UI de formato de postagem de Alex King. Mostramos anteriormente como instalar o plug-in UI de formato de postagem no WordPress 3.5. As pessoas estão enviando ideias e wireframes sobre como deve ser a interface do usuário de formatos de posts. Abaixo está um mockup enviado por Mel Choyce:
Vinte e treze
O WordPress 3.6 também virá com o Twenty Thirteen, o novo tema padrão do WordPress. O Twenty Thirteen terá um ótimo suporte para formatos de postagem. Diferentemente dos temas padrão anteriores do WordPress, o Twenty Thirteen usará muitas cores fortes. Ele usará uma cor de fundo diferente para cada postagem, o que fica ótimo quando o usuário rola a página para baixo. O Twenty Thirteen será totalmente responsivo e terá a mesma aparência em diferentes tamanhos de tela, resoluções e dispositivos. Veja a demonstração ao vivo.
Uma nova interface gráfica para menus do WordPress
O editor de menus do WordPress também terá uma interface de usuário nova e mais intuitiva. Na WPBeginner, notamos que muitos usuários iniciantes do WordPress não entendem o sistema de menus. As guias, o menu suspenso, a escolha de vários menus e a alternância entre eles são triviais para a maioria dos novos usuários. Esperamos que isso mude no WordPress 3.6 e que se torne mais fácil criar e gerenciar menus no WordPress.
Notificações de login aprimoradas
Às vezes, uma sessão de usuário expira bem no meio de algo importante. O novo sistema de notificação de login solicitará que o usuário faça login sem sair da página em que estava trabalhando.
Ainda resta algum tempo para o lançamento do WordPress 3.6. Essa é uma versão importante, portanto, além desses novos recursos, haverá várias melhorias no código principal, correções de bugs, atualizações de segurança etc. Lembre-se de que você sempre pode enviar suas ideias para o WordPress. As ideias mais votadas serão incluídas nas próximas versões do WordPress. Que novos recursos você gostaria de ver no WordPress? Qual é o seu recurso favorito desta versão 3.6 do WordPress?

I think WordPress Staff is doing a great job. I hope they can make it more user friendly in the next release. Not all wordpress users are programmers, you know.
Marian Pena says
As a new user to WordPress, I’m actually impressed already with the speed in which it loads. I have been a solid Joomla user for the last 8 years or so and until I had a problem in my own site yesterday, I had never tried WordPress, but decided while I wait for host to fix problem that I’d give it a go. Within an hour, I notified host not to bother, because I was switching CMS. However, as a 1 person admin site, I can honestly say that Lock Post does me no good, since I’m the only person who’s going to write my site, but for sites such as this one where there are probably several authors I can see it’s value.
The auto save feature from what I saw of it works just fine, so I’m not understanding the reasons for it’s improvement, but at the same time, being new, I wouldn’t know that either.
As a new user, I did find the menu/navigation a bit confusing, between understandind the difference between Pages and Categories, but as an experienced Joomla user and html user, I caught on quickly. I can see where newbies would get confused by it however.
The biggest improvement tho that I’d like to see is like the “newspaper” guy who noted about the media library area. The fact that we can’t add our own folders or subfolders and need to rely on WP to do this for us based on a monthly folder system is disconcerning. Let’s say your a recipe site where you have tons of images, if your just starting to build your site, you could end up with 30k in images for your first week or month of work and they are all in that one folder. I’d rather be able to folderize my images in my own manner and in a way that I recognize when I’m looking at the backups on my hard drive or if I have to find something down the road.
Now, I’m off to find a replacement for feedburner and hopefully I will find one. I don’t really want a newsleeter, I just want something that will automatically allow my visitors to get updates much in the same feedburner works. Hearing that it might be closing was sad news, since I’d just figured it out a few days ago.

Some extra post-types “out of the box” would be a nice addition. Just having the option of posts & pages can sometimes be a bit limiting, and creating custom post types, custom taxonomies and metaboxes can be a pain.
StephenB says
How many sites will need/use the ‘multi-user’ features is debatable. A significant proportion are never going to need them.
Post-formats looks interesting. I assume the loop will be able to display them easily.
But stop adding bits and start sorting the core. Taxonomy meta data is an essential. No use implementing all the cms goodies of custom post-types & taxonomies if they can’t be used properly. Post meta and user meta is there… why they didn’t add the tax_meta table is frustrating. There’s a Trac for this with plenty of recognised power-users pleading for it!
Chris Howard says
What WP desperately needs is better image management. Categories and tags, to begin with. I’m working for a newspaper site at the moment and the Media Library quickly fills with images. When you want the user to re-use one – e.g. a stock image of a politician or corporate logo – it’s pain for them to locate.
Editorial Staff says

Chris Howard says
Thanks. I looked at some of those, not sure if that one. Will check it out tomorrow.
Phil Simon says
Looks great. WP freaking rocks.
Keith Davis says
Thanks for the review guys
I love the WordPress custom menus interface.
Watched a video and then it was easy to use.
Obviuosly because of security, we have to upgrade but the one click upgrade is pretty painless.
Am I tempting fate saying that?
Robert Wilkins says
Thanks for the post! Auto lock looks promising but I agree with some of the other posters here, I don’t believe they really improved some of the items that needed improving. The visual editor, tinyMCE is horrible still. I have so many complaints from customers with this. On the tinyMCE site, the editor works flawlessly, it’s buggy in WP and broken with new version of Chrome.
Autosave is no big deal. I usually deactivate this on all my sites. WordPress is an awesome publishing platform but it’s getting bloated. It would be nice if automatic feeds aren’t optional or turned off. All that does is add size to the database.
I look forward to each release, but as Ryan Hellyer said, I keep hoping they make it better by reducing and optimizing rather than adding.
Hugh Sands says
I agree with you. It’s curious why so many software that become succesful follows the same path: ignoring bugs, avoiding optimizations, … getting into the bells and whistles run
When we’ll see many-to-many relationship integrated in the core or Ajax support improvements, specially performance?
Autosave/Revisions are overestimated IMHO
Yasir Jilani says
WoW…. just awesome, Thanks for the update, i am waiting for the 3.6 release!
Sandra says
These sound great, but I keep hoping they’ll do something to better organize the area in the dashboard that lists pages and posts.
A folder system instead of just indented subpages, for example, would be really helpful with large sites. That’s used in a number of commercial CMS platforms and it keeps things much better organized.
Andor Nagy says
WoW, Just wow. It’s unbelievable what these guys can come up with. I’m so exited about the new Post formats and stuff. The new theme looks amazing, but where did the sidebar go?
Also they’d really need to change how comments.php for themes works. It’s a nightmare to work with it D:
Gautam Doddamani says
oooh twenty thirteen looks awesome..i had heard about post lock a while back, a very interesting feature indeed! i have already controlled my post revisions to be maximum at 2 for every post…really thought editorial flow would come in wp 3.6 as well, hmm i guess they will introduce it later…i am really excited, mostly because a more new and nice gui has been given for the post editor
Cheers,
Gautam
Matt Rittman says
How about fixing the issue of not being able to link images to “file”? I always have to manually edit this in code view, otherwise it links to the post.
conualfy says
I guess you are talking about inserting galleries. You can change the box from File to Attachment and back to File. This is the way I make it work until they fix the javascript.
Rajesh Magar says
Thanks Syed,
This is really great news that WordPress most popular theme is going to come with “Responsive Design” functionality.
Chris says
Instead of Automatic Inc, investing 1.2 Million Dollars in wpengine.com and the EverCache system (Which really isn’t that great), they should have used the money to fix WordPress..
Editorial Staff says
Ummm why? Automattic is a separate entity created for profit. WordPress is a non-profit open source project. Anyone can contribute and make it better. Perhaps you should stop making money and contributing full-time to make WordPress better or in your own words “fix it”???

M Asif Rahman says
Thanks for the update. Nice timely post. I understand the cause of dropping Edit Flow from 3.6 core. But with Post lock and Improved Auto save maybe future version like 3.7 will come up with advance Editorial Flow control.
Editorial Staff says
Most definitely Asif.
Administrador
Davide De Maestri says
95% of these features are unuseful XD
Editorial Staff says
Dang sorry you think that way
We really thought that auto-save and post locking was a great step forward in those areas.

Aaron says
I am very excited to see the additions! I can’t wait to see what the new post formats ui looks like!
rasarab says
Great features …..
Arif Rahman says
Looks exciting, waiting for the new release!
Harley says
I hated 3.5. Still do and regrets upgrading to it and despises the new media uploader. I always TURN off post revisions and hopes in 3.6 one still can.
What you NEED to fix is the way WP always messes with any custom HTML if switched back to VISUAL mode.
WordPress is really beginning to become bloated and intrusive, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Editorial Staff says
If the formatting troubles you, then you can always disable them.
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize'); remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'wptexturize'); remove_filter('comment_text', 'wptexturize'); remove_filter('the_title', 'wptexturize');1-click Use in WordPress
Yes, you can always turn off revisions, but we find them to be very useful.
Administrador
Mohan Babu says
Wow ! just nice version …..
Ahmad Raza says
Great features..can’t wait to see these all features working on my site…
Ajay says
I switched from WLW to WordPress’ editting interface because of its media manager back in 3.4 which just got better with 3.5.
WLW just didn’t give me the flexibility for managing images. And, worst of all it doesn’t work on a Mac
Editorial Staff says
Agreed. But with this new auto-save, it’s getting even better.
Administrador
Elliott Richmond says
Post locking looks sweet! And it’s about time Post Formats had a little overhaul
Editorial Staff says
Yes, we are very excited for the future of themes. Because now more themes will have an incentive to be compatible with these post formats.
Administrador
Ryan Ray says
Yup, very excited about post formats! Should be a big help in pushing themes to adopt them as well!
anwar hussain says
Just want to say WOW! for new WordPress 3.6… Specially Twentythirteen theme……
Pritesh Desai says
Looks exciting, waiting for the new release!
Ata Ur Rehman says
Very interesting and looking forward to it..
Ryan Hellyer says
My favourite feature is the lack of features. This release seems to be concentrating more on improving what is there rather than adding more junk to the trunk.
