A theme can opt-in for tailored starter content to apply to the customizer when previewing the theme on a fresh install, when `fresh_site` is at its initial `1` value. Starter content is staged in the customizer and does not go live unless the changes are published. Initial starter content is added to Twenty Seventeen.
* The `fresh_site` flag is cleared when a published post or page is saved, when widgets are modified, or when the customizer state is saved.
* Starter content is registered via `starter-content` theme support, where the argument is an array containing `widgets`, `posts`, `nav_menus`, `options`, and `theme_mods`. Posts/pages in starter content are created with the `auto-draft` status, re-using the page/post stubs feature added to nav menus and the static front page controls.
* A `get_theme_starter_content` filter allows for plugins to extend a theme's starter content.
* Starter content in themes can/should re-use existing starter content items in core by using named placeholders.
* Import theme starter content into customized state when fresh site.
* Prevent original_title differences from causing refreshes if title is present.
* Ensure nav menu item url is set according to object when previewing.
* Make sure initial saved state is false if there are dirty settings without an existing changeset.
* Ensure dirty settings are cleaned upon changeset publishing.

With the introduction of user-specific languages in [38705] it's necessary to be able to switch translations on the fly. For example emails should be sent in the language of the recipient and not the one of the current user.
This introduces a new `WP_Locale_Switcher` class which is used for switching locales and translations. It holds the stack of locales whenever `switch_to_locale( $locale )` is called. With `restore_previous_locale()` you can restore the previous locale. `restore_current_locale()` empties the stack and sets the locale back to the initial value.
`switch_to_locale()` is added to most of core's email functions, either with the value of `get_locale()` (site language) or `get_user_locale()` (user language with fallback to site language).

Fixes bug where an invalid Last-Modified value would be returned in feed requests for sites that had 0 items to return. Comment or post feeds will now return the current timestamp as the Last-Modified header value. Example: a request for the comments feed for a site without any comments.
Replaced use of the local static variable `$cache_lastcommentmodified` to store the modified date in `get_lastcommentmodified()` with the Object Cache API. The `get_lastcommentmodified()` function returns early if there is a cached value and returns `false` if there where no comments found. Introduced `_clear_modified_cache_on_transition_comment_status()` to flush the `lastcommentmodified` cache key when a comment enters or leaves approval status. In `get_lastpostmodified()` return early if there is a cached value and return `false` if there are no posts found.

REST API endpoints for your WordPress content. These endpoints provide machine-readable external access to your WordPress site with a clear, standards-driven interface, allowing new and innovative apps for interacting with your site. These endpoints support all of the following:
- Posts: Read and write access to all post data, for all types of post-based data, including pages and media.
- Comments: Read and write access to all comment data. This includes pingbacks and trackbacks.
- Terms: Read and write access to all term data.
- Users: Read and write access to all user data. This includes public access to some data for post authors.
- Meta: Read and write access to metadata for posts, comments, terms, and users, on an opt-in basis from plugins.
- Settings: Read and write access to settings, on an opt-in basis from plugins and core. This enables API management of key site content values that are technically stored in options, such as site title and byline.
Love your REST API, WordPress! The infrastructure says, "Let's do lunch!" but the content API endpoints say, "You're paying!"

Since 4.4, comment submission has been mostly abstracted into a function,
rather than being processed inline in wp-comments-post.php. This change
made it easier to write automated tests against the bulk of the comment
submission process. `wp_allow_comment()` remained untestable, however:
when a comment failed one of its checks (flooding, duplicates, etc),
`die()` or `wp_die()` would be called directly. This shortcoming posed
problems for any application attempting to use WP's comment verification
functions in an abstract way - from PHPUnit to the REST API.
The current changeset introduces a new parameter, `$avoid_die`, to the
`wp_new_comment()` stack. When set to `true`, `wp_new_comment()` and
`wp_allow_comment()` will return `WP_Error` objects when a comment check
fails. When set to `false` - the default, for backward compatibility -
a failed check will result in a `die()` or `wp_die()`, as appropriate.
Prior to this changeset, default comment flood checks took place in the
function `check_comment_flood_db()`, which was hooked to the
'check_comment_flood' action. This design allowed the default comment
flood routine to be bypassed or replaced using `remove_action()`.
In order to maintain backward compatibility with this usage, while
simultaneously converting the comment flood logic into something that
returns a value rather than calling `die()` directly,
`check_comment_flood_db()` has been changed into a wrapper function for
a call to `add_filter()`; this, in turn, adds the *actual* comment flood
check to a new filter, 'wp_is_comment_flood'. Note that direct calls
to `check_comment_flood_db()` will no longer do anything in isolation.

* `get_the_post_thumbnail_caption()` - Returns the post thumbnail caption.
* `the_post_thumbnail_caption()` - Displays the post thumbnail caption.
These are helpful for displaying a caption associated with an image directly

* `the_post_thumbnail_caption` - Filters the display of the post thumbnail caption.
`the_post_thumbnail_caption()` is automatically filtered by `wptexturize()`,

Prior to [23512], the Toolbar was still displayed on wp-signup.php while logged-in because it was hooked to the `init` action. When `_wp_admin_bar_init()` was moved to instead fire on `template_redirect` for the front-end and `admin_init` on the back-end, the visibility was lost because `template_redirect` isn't fired on wp-signup.php due to `WP_USE_THEMES` not being defined.
In order to maintain expected display results, a default filter has been added to hook `_wp_admin_bar_init()` to the `before_signup_header` action. This approach has the added benefit of allowing `_wp_admin_bar_init()` to be fired prior to the `wp_head` action where `_admin_bar_bump_cb()` is called (or the callback defined when 'admin-bar' theme support is added).

[34561] instituted the policy of forcing pagination for comments. This strategy
was intended to avert problems when 'page_comments' is set to 0 - as it is by
default - and the number of comments on a given post rises into the hundreds or
thousands. By forcing pagination in all cases, we ensured that WordPress would
not time out by processing unwieldy numbers of comments on a given pageload.
The strategy proves problematic, however, because comment permalinks are
generated using the page of the comment. Forcing pagination for posts that
were not previously paginated would change the URL of all comments that do not
appear on the default comment page.
This changeset reintroduces the 'page_comments' setting and its corresponding
checkbox on Settings > Discussion. A number of tests, which were written after
[34561], are modified to work now that 'page_comments' will, once again, be
disabled by default.

For the past 6 years, WordPress has operated as an oEmbed consumer, allowing users to easily embed content from other sites. By adding oEmbed provider support, this allows any oEmbed consumer to embed posts from WordPress sites.
In addition to creating an oEmbed provider, WordPress' oEmbed consumer code has been enhanced to work with any site that provides oEmbed data (as long as it matches some strict security rules), and provides a preview from within the post editor.
For security, embeds appear within a sandboxed iframe - the iframe content is a template that can be styled or replaced entirely by the theme on the provider site.

Previously, the 'page_comments' toggle allowed users to disable comment
pagination. This toggle was only superficial, however. Even with
'page_comments' turned on, `comments_template()` loaded all of a post's
comments into memory, and passed them to `wp_list_comments()` and
`Walker_Comment`, the latter of which produced markup for only the
current page of comments. In other words, it was possible to enable
'page_comments', thereby showing only a subset of a post's comments on a given
page, but all comments continued to be loaded in the background. This technique
scaled poorly. Posts with hundreds or thousands of comments would load slowly,
or not at all, even when the 'comments_per_page' setting was set to a
reasonable number.
Recent changesets have addressed this problem through more efficient tree-
walking, better descendant caching, and more selective queries for top-level
post comments. The current changeset completes the project by addressing the
root issue: that loading a post causes all of its comments to be loaded too.
Here's the breakdown:
* Comment pagination is now forced. Setting 'page_comments' to false leads to evil things when you have many comments. If you want to avoid pagination, set 'comments_per_page' to something high.
* The 'page_comments' setting has been expunged from options-discussion.php, and from places in the codebase where it was referenced. For plugins relying on 'page_comments', we now force the value to `true` with a `pre_option` filter.
* `comments_template()` now queries for an appropriately small number of comments. Usually, this means the `comments_per_page` value.
* To preserve the current (odd) behavior for comment pagination links, some unholy hacks have been inserted into `comments_template()`. The ugliness is insulated in this function for backward compatibility and to minimize collateral damage. A side-effect is that, for certain settings of 'default_comments_page', up to 2x the value of `comments_per_page` might be fetched at a time.
* In support of these changes, a `$format` parameter has been added to `WP_Comment::get_children()`. This param allows you to request a flattened array of comment children, suitable for feeding into `Walker_Comment`.
* `WP_Query` loops are now informed about total available comment counts and comment pages by the `WP_Comment_Query` (`found_comments`, `max_num_pages`), instead of by `Walker_Comment`.
Aside from radical performance improvements in the case of a post with many
comments, this changeset fixes a bug that caused the first page of comments to
be partial (`found_comments` % `comments_per_page`), rather than the last, as
you'd expect.
