WordPress Admin User Interface Revamp in the Works

WordPress is planning a major overhaul of its admin UI, with the goal of making it more modern, accessible, and user-friendly. The new design will be based on a set of extensible design components, which will make it easier for developers to create custom plugins and themes that integrate seamlessly with the admin dashboard.

Although contributors have not yet officially produced any designs for the project, Ventura shared a light version of an admin concept.

One of the key goals of the redesign is to reduce the number of page refreshes required to navigate the admin. This will make the experience more fluid and responsive, and it will also help to improve performance.

Another goal of the redesign is to create a more consistent user experience across all of the different plugins and themes that are available for WordPress. This will make it easier for users to learn how to use the admin, and it will also help to reduce the number of bugs and compatibility issues.

The redesign is still in the early stages, but it has already received a lot of positive feedback from the WordPress community. Developers are particularly excited about the prospect of having a standard set of UI components to work with, which will make it easier to create custom plugins and themes.
