# WordPress 7 shipped with new AI features, where are they hiding? > Source: > Published: 2026-05-24 21:00:00+00:00 ## WordPress 7 shipped with new AI features, where are they hiding? 25 May 2026 The latest version of WordPress (WP), [seven](https://wordpress.org/download/releases/7-0/), which shipped a few days ago, comes with, according to the accompanying release notes/marketing copy, a number of AI features. I’m yet to see even one of these, despite installing version seven last week now. The only noticeable difference I can discern — to date — is a change in some of the hyperlink colours on the dashboard. I’m not interested, by the way, in activating these AI “enhancements”, just curious as to why I can’t see them. I was expecting the interface to look all new when I logged back in after running the update, but as I say, barely anything has changed. Presumably the powers that be are leaving WordPressers to opt-in to the AI features themselves — the way it should be — rather than foisting them upon us. Works for me, I have no use for them. On the other hand, it might be some combination of plug-ins, or edits to WP code I’ve made (though that’s rare for me) that are somehow blocking out the AI options. Whatever is happening: long may it last. And if this is all a dream I’m having — and the AI features are there, but I just can’t see them — then no one wake me up. **UPDATE**: Jeff Bridgforth addresses [changes to hyperlink colours](https://jeffbridgforth.com/wordpress-7-0-changed-editor-defaults/) on the WP dashboard. These can be adjusted in the Administration Colour Scheme area, located on the WP profile page.
