Overview

Wagtail 7.0 LTS, released on May 6, 2025, is a major long-term support release. It modernizes the admin interface and improves the content API.

Main Features

Modernized admin interface

The admin interface is redesigned with a more modern look and improved navigation between sections.

python 
from wagtail.models import Page
from wagtail.fields import RichTextField
from wagtail.admin.panels import FieldPanel

class BlogPage(Page):
    body = RichTextField()

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        FieldPanel('body'),
    ]

Improved content API

Wagtail's headless API is enriched with new filters and better serialization of StreamField blocks.

python 
from wagtail.api.v2.views import PagesAPIViewSet
from wagtail.api.v2.router import WagtailAPIRouter

api_router = WagtailAPIRouter('wagtailapi')
api_router.register_endpoint('pages', PagesAPIViewSet)

# GET /api/v2/pages/?type=blog.BlogPage&fields=body
