WordPress is now changed forever. WordPress’ updated to version 5.0 is out now and is now with a whole new way to compose blog posts and pages.
If you’ve been to your WordPress dashboard today, you’ve likely noticed a new (major) update waiting for you.
Big changes to your favorite CMS can be difficult to accept. However, even massively popular platforms such as WordPress need to adapt to the times. “Gutenberg” is a bold leap forward, and it’s not the only update that’s coming up.
What is Gutenberg?
Gutenberg is WordPress’ new version its an attempt to keep up with the growth of popular DIY site builders like Weebly, Squarespace, and Wix.
The classic WordPress editor is now old. Not having a common feature of drag and drop, it gets cluttered by plugin features, and it requires authors to keep clicking “preview” to see what their post will look like. Gutenberg is supposed to solve all of this.
Aside from your own editing experience, Gutenberg also brings important changes to a lot of your favorite plugins and themes.
For example, we’ll probably see the emergence of a lot of Gutenberg-friendly themes, which will be designed to take advantage of all the new features the editor offers.
