What’s new

Every PageCore release in plain words. Updates arrive through WordPress.org, right in your dashboard.

Version 1.0.1

9 November 2026

28 starter sites and Change design

  • 22 new starter sites 28 in all, from law firms and clinics to restaurants and hotels, each with its own matching style.
  • Change design Swap a section for another ready-made design of the same kind, right from its settings, with one Undo to go back.
  • Style Library 27 styles, light and dark. Each one has a Preview of the starter site that uses it, and PageCore asks before you switch between a light and a dark style.
  • Photo fades Every style includes fades for photo backgrounds that keep text on photos easy to read.
  • Design Library 137 ready-made sections in 18 categories, from heroes to headers and footers.
  • Smoother imports A starter site keeps its style after the style is updated, fixed text sizes stay fixed on phones, and every picture, also inside a block’s own CSS, points to your site.
  • Safer icons An icon that contains a script is left out of an import, and the last step says so.
  • Networks On a multisite network, site admins are told before an import when some design effects need the network admin.

Version 1.0.0

24 October 2026

The first release

  • Starter sites Import a complete website in four steps (Check, Options, Import, Done), with a live preview of each one first.
  • Replace with care Before a new starter site replaces the current one, the wizard lists exactly what goes and puts back what the old one changed.
  • Design Library 65 ready-made sections in 14 categories, whole pages from every starter site, favourites and four colour schemes, inside the block editor.
  • Style Library Five site styles that change colours, fonts and spacing in one click. Their fonts load from your own site.
  • Tablet menus The menu button shows on tablets too, so long menus never wrap.
  • Absolute position Lay a block, such as a header, over the content around it, without custom CSS.
  • Safe by default Every SVG is rebuilt from a safe allowlist, and contact form mail always goes to your own address.
  • Your choice of features Switch on only the parts you need in PageCore › Settings.
