use aligncenter class in about page sub-heading

[shagors]

on about.php heading was center aligned and the sub-heading is left aligned
it's looking odd
if we do both centers align it will look better
just add the "aligncenter" class in the sub-heading tag in about.php

[sabernhardt]

About page with first two subheadings

[sabernhardt]

Hi and thanks for the ticket!

I prefer aligning the "Welcome to WordPress 6.1.x" subheading to the left instead. Future minor releases will add more left-aligned paragraphs under Maintenance and Security Releases.

Either way, using the same alignment for both subheadings should be good.

Hi @sabernhardt,

Yes, it's good for both headings' same alignment.
@mukesh27 thanks for the PR.

This ticket was discussed during the bug scrub.

Here is the summary:

• Sergey: I think it might apply to the 6.2 About page too.
• Tonya: Maybe test it against 6.2 about page and then fix the alignment if off by RC2? ie for the 6.2 About page only (not 6.1's)
• Sergey: Should be moved to 6.2 then 👍
• Tonya: I don't think 6.1 About page though will be fixed as I don't think we'll go back to it or have another point release.

Additional props: @SergeyBiryukov @hellofromTonya

About page for 6.0 had centered heading with a left-aligned paragraph, too

[sabernhardt]

current page in 6.2 centers both the heading and the following paragraph

[costdev]

After further discussion, moving this ticket to 6.2.1

[sabernhardt]

It might not be worth backporting to 6.1 because 6.0 had the same alignments.

I do not like centering an entire paragraph, but that could make the alignment seem a little more consistent in 6.2.1.

[costdev]

After PR 3807

[costdev]

I agree that it's not really worth backporting to the 6.1 branch.

​PR 3807, which left aligns the heading and paragraph, looks good to me.

All of the headings and paragraphs in the "What's New" tab are left aligned, so this makes the first heading/paragraph consistent with all others.

As there is already a test report for ​PR 3807 that accurately reflects the results of the PR, removing needs-testing.

@sabernhardt What do you think of PR 3807's results?

[sabernhardt]

PR 3807 should work for 6.1.2, matching the alignment of the maintenance releases section.

If aligning left for 6.2.1, the aligncenter class would need to be removed from the is-subheading paragraph, too.

This removes the aligncenter class from the h2 and is-subheading in the WordPress 6.2 About Page for consistent alignment.

Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57387

[costdev]

Right you are @sabernhardt! I hadn't spotted that change to is-subheading!

​PR 4306 aims to handle this for 6.2.1.

[costdev]

Adding needs-testing to confirm ​PR 4306 works as we expect.
