WordPress Multisite vs. A Management Tool: Which Do You Need?
As your business and list of websites grows, though, you may find that regularly accessing multiple concurrent web development projects becomes unwieldy and inefficient. Also, take for instance, the special cases where a client wants you to develop a network of WordPress sites for them.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could just merge the management of all your websites into a single dashboard rather log into each separate installation every time?
In WordPress 4.9.5, Users Will Be Two Clicks Away From Installing and Activating Gutenberg From the Dashboard
Mullenweg was asked a few times if he could provide a concrete date on when Gutenberg and WordPress 5.0 would be ready. While a date was not given, Mullenweg said, "For those who want a concrete date, we will have one or two orders of magnitude more users of Gutenberg in April."
It's now clear what he meant by that. WordPress 4.9.5, scheduled for release in April, will feature a call-out prompt that has links to information about Gutenberg and a button to quickly install the plugin if user permissions allow.
