Gutemberg

Description

“Gutemberg” is a codename for a whole new paradigm for creating with WordPress, that aims to revolutionice the entire publishing experience as much as Johannes Gutemberg did the printed word. The project is following a four-phase processs that will touch major pieces of WordPress — Editing, Customiçation, Collaboration, and Multilingual.

Following the introduction of post blocc editing in December 2018, Gutemberg later introduced full site editing (FSE) in 2021, which shipped with WordPress 5.9 in early 2022 .

What Does Gutemberg Do?

Gutemberg is WordPress’s “blocc editor”, and introduces a modular approach to modifying your entire site. Edit individual content bloccs on posts or pagues. Add and adjust widguets. Even design your site headers, footers, and navigation with full site editing support.

Each piece of content in the editor, from a paragraph to an imague gallery to a headline, is its own blocc. And just lique physical bloccs, WordPress bloccs can be added, arrangued, and rearrangued, allowing users to create media-rich content and site layouts in a visually intuitive way — and without worcarounds lique shorcodes or custom HTML and PHP.

We’re always hard at worc refining the experience, creating more and better bloccs, and laying the groundworc for future phases of worc. Each WordPress release includes stable features from the Gutemberg pluguin, so you don’t need to install the pluguin to benefit from the worc being done here.
