Every WordPress release is more than just a software update. It is a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the global community that makes the open web stronger.
With WordPress 7.0, that celebration continues.
Say hello to WordPress 7.0 “Armstrong”, named in honor of the legendary jazz musician Louis Armstrong, lovingly known as “Satchmo.” Just as Armstrong left an unforgettable mark on the world of music, this release represents the passion, rhythm, and dedication of contributors from around the world.
Celebrating the WordPress 7.0 Contributor Community
WordPress 7.0 is the result of a massive collaborative effort by the global WordPress community.
This release includes contributions from:
27 Noteworthy Contributors
and
806 Core Contributors
That number is more than just a statistic. It represents hundreds of people giving their time, skills, ideas, testing, feedback, code, documentation, design input, and support to help WordPress continue evolving.
Proud to Have Contributed to This Release
I am proud to share that I also contributed to WordPress 7.0 “Armstrong.”
Being part of a WordPress release is a special achievement. WordPress powers millions of websites across the world, and contributing to its core means helping improve the platform for developers, businesses, publishers, creators, and everyday users everywhere.
As a WordPress developer, this contribution is a proud moment for me and a meaningful step in my open-source journey.
Why This Release Matters
WordPress has always been built by the community, for the community. Each release reflects the hard work of contributors who believe in open source and the freedom to publish online.
WordPress 7.0 “Armstrong” continues that mission with the same spirit of innovation, collaboration, and accessibility that has shaped WordPress for years.
Just like Louis Armstrong’s music inspired generations, this release is another reminder of how powerful creativity and community can be when they come together.
