What is the Gutenberg WordPress Block Editor?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is the Gutenberg WordPress Block Editor and why is there so much buzz around blocks? Starting off solely as a plugin<\/a> and then becoming part of the WordPress core<\/a>, the Gutenberg WordPress editor revamped the classic editor<\/a> and provided an even easier content creation experience for users.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an intuitive, clean interface, the Gutenberg WordPress editor allows you to easily add and customize blocks within your pages and posts. In addition to basic content needs like paragraphs, headers, and lists, Gutenberg also provides easy to use blocks for embedding YouTube videos, creating image slideshows, adding call to action buttons, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, before jumping into Gutenberg\u2019s functionality, in true WordPress fashion<\/a>, there are two references to Gutenberg that you should be aware of: Gutenberg in the WordPress core and the Gutenberg plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg Plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before it became part of the WordPress core, Gutenberg was solely a plugin. Currently, the plugin, which can still be downloaded and installed, is used mainly for additional features not yet available with the WordPress core version of Gutenberg. If you\u2019re interested in keeping an eye on new features, installing the Gutenberg plugin in WordPress<\/a> is probably a good idea.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg in the WordPress Core<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg joined the WordPress core with the release of 5.0. Now, each updated version of WordPress also includes updates to Gutenberg and the block library. Though the Gutenberg features included with the WordPress core are usually behind the features of the Gutenberg plugin, it still includes a number of blocks to satisfy any WordPress user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know a little about Gutenberg, let\u2019s master the new WordPress editor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
