    The most important update in this new release is introduction of Image, Video, Audio and Text widgets.

     

    1. Text Widget

     

    In previous version, WordPress just use Plain Text Widget where you can add plaintext or html code. The problem with this widget is that those who are not well versed with coding found it difficult to integrate html code in it. The upgraded widget in WordPress 4.8 comes with a simple visual and text editor. Similar to the one you see on the post edit screen.
