OpenStation Blog: A better way to use WordPress
by Daniel López on 18th September 2026 at 15:21
I have been using WordPress for a long time, and I still love it. But wp-admin has basically worked in the same way for years. OpenStation is our attempt to change that. It’s a simple idea: instead of moving from one admin page to another, you have a desktop where you can open different parts of WordPress at the same time. Your WordPress. Your workspace. You can open your posts, pages, media, plugins, WooCommerce or any OpenStation app in different windows. You can move them around, minimize them or put two things next to each other. It may sound like a small difference, but once you start using WordPress this way, it changes a lot. Real-time previews You can also see your changes while you are working on them. No need to constantly jump between wp-admin and the frontend just to check how something looks. Apps inside WordPress This is one of my favorite parts. We are building apps like AllTerrain Forms, Photo Editor (And more!) specifically for OpenStation. They are still WordPress plugins, but they feel much more like normal desktop apps. WordPress on your phone We also wanted OpenStation to work properly on mobile. You can install it as a PWA and use WordPress from your phone almost like any other app. Performance Is Fast. Really fast. OpenStation is not only about changing how WordPress looks. We have put a lot of work into making it fast. In many cases, opening and moving between WordPress screens is faster than using them directly from wp-admin. We are also working on caching and preloading parts of WordPress before you need them. The goal is very simple: you click something and it opens FAST. And it is still WordPress This is important. We are not trying to replace WordPress or build another platform on top of it. Your plugins are still your plugins. WooCommerce is still WooCommerce. Your content stays in WordPress. OpenStation just gives you a different way to use all of it. And, of course, it is open source. Thank you And finally, a big thank you to everyone in the WordPress community who has tried OpenStation, shared feedback, reported bugs or simply told others about it. And especially to all the contributors who are helping us build it. OpenStation would not be what it is today without you. There is still a lot we want to do, and seeing people contributing, experimenting and building things with OpenStation is probably the best part of the whole project. Thank you

This security and maintenance release features 17 bug fixes on Core, 19 bug fixes for the Block Editor, and 11 security fixes. Because this is a security release, it is recommended that you update your sites immediately.

If you have sites that support automatic background updates, the update process will begin automatically. WordPress 7.1.1 is a short-cycle release.
