WordPress 7.0 Shipped AI — Real-Time Editing Got Cut

WordPress 7.0 landed on May 20, 2026, and the headline most outlets ran with was AI is now native. The story most missed: real-time collaborative editing was on the roadmap for this release, and it got cut to make the date.

In this video:
— What actually shipped in WordPress 7.0
— The new Connectors hub at Settings then Connectors
— The optional AI plugin that adds title, excerpt, image, and alt text generation
— Why real-time collab slipped to a future release
— Why the feared PHP backward-compat break did not happen
— The supporting cast: navigation overlay designer, visual revisions, font library, command palette, and more

WordPress 7.0 is the AI platform release. It is also a smooth upgrade. Real-time collaborative editing is on the next train, not gone.
