WordPress 7.0.1 addresses 31 confirmed bugs in the block editor, admin UI, and media handling — led by Aaron Jorbin and three co-leads with contributions from more than 80 community members.
A failure in the automated version bump process exposed a limitation in branch protection rules, prompting Gutenberg maintainers to migrate the repository's access controls entirely.
The first release candidate for WordPress 7.0.1 is available, addressing 17 core tickets and 14 Gutenberg fixes ahead of a July 9 final release.
