New developer tutorial

A new developer tutorial series has been added to the documentation. This series builds upon the pre-existing , going through the creation and deployment of a portfolio website.

Upgrade considerations - removal of deprecated features from Wagtail 4.2 - 5.1

Features previously deprecated in Wagtail 4.2, 5.0 and 5.1 have been fully removed. For additional details on these changes, see:

The most significant changes are highlighted below.

Removal of ModelAdmin app

The wagtail.contrib.modeladmin app has been removed. If you wish to continue using it, it is available as the external package wagtail-modeladmin.

Support for Elasticsearch 5 and 6 dropped

The Elasticsearch 5 and 6 backends have been removed. If you are using one of these backends, you will need to upgrade to Elasticsearch 7 or 8 before upgrading to Wagtail 6.0.

StreamField no longer requires `use_json_field=True`

The use_json_field argument to StreamField is no longer required, and can be removed. StreamField now consistently uses JSONField for its database representation, and Wagtail 5.0 required older TextField-based streams to be migrated. As such, use_json_field no longer has any effect.

Other removals

The WAGTAILADMIN_GLOBAL_PAGE_EDIT_LOCK setting is no longer recognised and should be replaced with WAGTAILADMIN_GLOBAL_EDIT_LOCK.
The Query model is no longer part of the wagtail.search module; it can now be found in the optional wagtail.contrib.search_promotions app.
The wagtail.models.UserPagePermissionsProxy class and get_pages_with_direct_explore_permission, get_explorable_root_page and users_with_page_permission functions have been removed; equivalent functionality exists in the wagtail.permission_policies.pages.PagePermissionPolicy class.
The permission_type field of the GroupPagePermission model has been removed; the permission field (a foreign key to Django's Permission model) should be used instead.
The legacy moderation system used prior to the introduction of workflows in Wagtail 2.10 has been removed. Any moderation requests still in the queue from before this time will be lost.
The Wagtail icon font has been removed; any direct usage of this needs to be converted to SVG icons.
Various unused icons deprecated in Wagtail 5.0 have been removed.
The partial_match argument on SearchField and on search methods has been removed. AutocompleteField and the autocomplete method should be used instead.
The insert_editor_css hook has been removed; the insert_global_admin_css hook should be used instead.
The wagtail.contrib.frontend_cache module now supports azure-mgmt-cdn version 10 and azure-mgmt-frontdoor version 1 as its minimum supported versions.
The Task.page_locked_for_user method has been removed; Task.locked_for_user should be used instead.
The {% icon %} template tag no longer accepts class_name as an argument; classname should be used instead.
The wagtail.tests.utils module has been removed and can now be found at wagtail.test.utils.
The template wagtailadmin/shared/field_as_li.html has been removed, and should be replaced with wagtailadmin/shared/field.html enclosed in an <li> tag.
The custom client-side events wagtail:show and wagtail:hide on showing and hiding dialogs have been removed; w-dialog:show and w-dialog:hide should be used instead.
The global Javascript definitions headerSearch, initTagField, cancelSpinner and unicodeSlugsEnabled have been removed; these should be replaced with Stimulus controllers.

Upgrade considerations - changes affecting all projects

Upgrade considerations - deprecation of old functionality

Removed support for Django < 4.2

Django versions prior to 4.2 are no longer supported as of this release; please upgrade to Django 4.2 or above before upgrading Wagtail.

Upgrade considerations - changes affecting Wagtail customisations

`SlugInput` widget is now the default for `SlugField` fields

In Wagtail 5.0 a new SlugInput admin widget was added to support slug behavior in Page and Page copy forms. This widget was included by default if the promote_panels fields layout was customised, causing confusion.

As of this release, any forms that inherit from WagtailAdminModelForm (includes page and snippet model editing) will now use the SlugInput by default on all models with SlugField fields.

Previously, the widget had to be explicitly added.

from wagtail.admin.widgets.slug import SlugInput
# ... other imports

class MyPage(Page):
    promote_panels = [
        FieldPanel("slug", widget=SlugInput),
        # ... other panels
    ]

Keeping the widget as above is fine, but will no longer be required. The JavaScript field behavior will be included by default.

# ... imports

class MyPage(Page):
    promote_panels = [
        FieldPanel("slug"),
        # ... other panels
    ]

If you do not want this for some reason, you will now need to declare a different widget.

from django.forms.widgets import TextInput
# ... other imports

class MyPage(Page):
    promote_panels = [
        FieldPanel("slug", widget=TextInput), # use a plain text field
        # ... other panels
    ]
