WordPress 4.7 makes WordPress easier to customize the way you want it.

Things to note

• New Twenty Seventeen theme
• Customizer allows you to set up your theme easier in the initial set up as well as allows you to easily preview changes without actually making the changes to the site until you are happy with what you see.
• Themes can now provide starter contact to get you up and ready faster.
• Header background video now are available
• Creating menus/adding custom CSS is now easier.
• PDF thumbnails allow you to quickly view your documents in the media library
• Creating menus/adding custom CSS is now easier.
• Users can now choose their own language of the dashboard
• Long awaited – we now have the WP REST API built into WordPress 4.7
• All sort of great functionality for developers as well including new functions, hooks, post type templates, etc

If you have not done so already – download the update or simply use your existing installation of WordPress to update your site. Either way – this is an excellent time to make a backup copy of your site(s) before upgrading.

As always, a big thanks to all the contributors for their time and attention to the new features/fixes!
