Description

Discussed in https://github.com/WordPress/developer-blog-content/discussions/482

Originally posted by justintadlock July 9, 2026
WordPress 7.1 will ship new responsive design tools via the UI. We need an article that explores and showcases what's now possible.

Some questions:

  • What’s the position of WordPress regarding responsive design?
  • When to use intrinsic design principles first?

This should be a response to the position from 3 years ago: https://developer.wordpress.org/news/2023/02/intrinsic-design-theming-and-rethinking-how-to-design-with-wordpress/
