We call the new edi­tor Guten­berg. The enti­re editing expe­ri­ence has been rebuilt for media rich pages and posts. Expe­ri­ence the fle­xi­bi­li­ty that blocks will bring, whe­ther you are buil­ding your first site, or wri­te code for a living.

    It seems that Guten­berg has been a term of con­tro­ver­sy in the world of Word­Press late­ly. Hai­led as the most signi­fi­cant chan­ge to Word­Press 5 this year, the Guten­berg edi­tor has recei­ved a posi­ti­ve respon­se from web deve­lo­pers and regu­lar folk ali­ke. All of this power is making it awe­so­me.

    What does Guten­berg Chan­ge

    The sole pur­po­se of the Guten­berg edi­tor is to pro­vi­de an alter­na­ti­ve to the cur­rent open text edi­tor, not to men­ti­on the dif­fi­cult-to-remem­ber short­codes, with an agi­le and visu­al user inter­face (UI). So, unli­ke the cur­rent Word­Press edi­tor, you don’t have to:

    • import images, mul­ti­me­dia and appro­ved files from the media libra­ry or add HTML short­codes;
    • copy and pas­te links for embeds;
    • wri­te short­codes for spe­cia­li­zed assets of dif­fe­rent plug­ins;
    • crea­te fea­tured images to be added at the top of a post or page;
    • add excerp­ts for sub­heads;
    • add wid­gets for con­tent on the side of a page.

    Con­sider a block as the most basic (the­r­e­fo­re, smal­lest) unit of the new edi­tor.

    Only a quar­ter of young adults are finan­ci­al­ly lite­ra­te. You don’t want to over­whelm them.

    They will be the buil­ding blocks of Word­Press 5.0. In other words, ever­y­thing-inclu­ding con­tent, images, quo­tes, gal­le­ries, cover images, audio, video, hea­dings, embeds, cus­tom codes, para­graphs, sepa­ra­tors and but­tons-will turn into distinct blocks.

    Becau­se you can drag and drop each block, iden­ti­fy­ing the­se items and pla­cing them on the page beco­mes a lot easier.


    Tables? You got them.

    Adding a table using cus­tom HTML code was a tedious job. With the table block, howe­ver, the task is a lot easier. You are able to add and remo­ve rows and colum­ns of a table wit­hout coding.

    More for Images 

    As of Guten­berg 0.5.0, you can now drag and drop images direct­ly into an image block, just like you are used to with the visu­al edi­tor. And the­re are seve­ral new ali­gnments available with Chee­r­Up.

    Abo­ve is an image Ali­gn Full Width, that works with our Full Width post style.

    Bes­i­des just having the stan­dard block­quo­te which we have been using for years, they also have a new pull quo­te. And yes, pull quo­tes are dif­fe­rent.

    Just rocking it being ali­gned left.

    It is also nice to see some varia­ti­ons on the posi­tio­ning of the blocks. For years, the stan­dard visu­al edi­tor has given you the abili­ty to ali­gn left, ali­gn cen­ter, ali­gn right, and assign no ali­gnment.

    With the Guten­berg Word­Press edi­tor, you can also ali­gn wide (as seen below), and ali­gn full-width. 

    Blocks are a gre­at new tool for buil­ding enga­ging con­tent. With blocks, you can insert, rear­ran­ge, and style mul­ti­me­dia con­tent with very litt­le tech­ni­cal know­ledge.

    A sin­gle block is nice-relia­ble, clear, distinct. Dis­co­ver the fle­xi­bi­li­ty to use media and con­tent, side by side, dri­ven by your visi­on.

    More Guten­berg Blocks

    Guten­berg comes with new but­tons that work right out of the box with Chee­r­Up. 

    Guten­berg is available as a plug­in now, and also is the default edi­tor in ver­si­on 5+ of Word­Press. It’s about the right time to switch to it. It’s miles ahead of Clas­sic Edi­tor.


    Guten­berg is the Default Edi­tor sin­ce Word­Press 5. Make full use of the awe­so­me expe­ri­ence.

    There’s a lot more…

    We can only show so many of the blocks wit­hout bloa­ting the page to exces­si­ve size. The­re many more Guten­berg blocks that just work. And this is just the begin­ning. Very exci­ting times ahead.

    Guten­berg is pri­med to shape the future of Word­Press with v5.0 default edi­tor. Do try to be a part of the ongo­ing dis­cus­sion about it on the web. It will cer­tain­ly help.
