Over the past month and a half, the MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. and Design teams have been working on a new look for the Photos Directory. This visual refresh is part of the continued effort to establish a consistent design language across WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/. I’m pleased to announce that the updated site launched today. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this project! 

Here’s a quick look at the before and after.

The Photos Directory now uses a block child theme alongside the shared WordPress.org parent theme. This update involved converting all elements to blocks and standardizing the layout, typography, and colors. Now, all directories across WordPress.org share consistent aesthetics and functionality, which simplifies any site-wide enhancements that may be considered in the future.
