  1. WordPress Gutenberg Tutorial

  2. Quick Overview: This website editor was named after Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg, who was a German blacksmith, goldsmith, printer, and publisher who also introduced printing to Europe with the printing press. Depending on how often you use WordPress to build websites from scratch or just want to upgrade yours from one platform to another, you may or may not already be familiar with the upcoming WordPress Gutenberg editor. But you can learn the bulk of its information and how to use it via the WordPress Gutenberg tutorial.

  3. What is Gutenberg? Gutenberg, the long and the short of it, is the next generation website editor which will be replacing the previous (albeit cool) website editor, the TinyMCE. It is the current WYSIWYG text editor where you write your posts and pages. Despite the hype of the website editor giving websites an aesthetic update, it will actually do a lot more than that, because it is going to radically change the editing experience of web designers and enthusiasts alike! It will do this by moving from single edit field to a block-based approach when creating content.

  4. Release Date for the Gutenberg? Gutenberg is expected to be released this year, 2018, and to become officially a part of the WordPress core which will come out together with the WordPress 5.0. Unfortunately, WordPress hasn’t revealed the exact date of the release, so it’s up for speculation; however, the Gutenberg editor is already causing a major hype in the mainstream media. It’s actually a good idea for the WordPress core team to keep things vague with the launch of the Gutenberg as it will give them enough time to fix everything to perfection.

  5. How the WordPress Gutenberg Editor Works Now that we’ve gotten the basic introductions out of the way, we can then proceed to tackle the intricacies of how the WordPress Gutenberg editor works. The developers wanted the Gutenberg to handle complex tasks while making it very user-friendly to you, so that website editing will feel like a breeze even for beginners. It’s actually a very interesting idea to discuss.

  6. Block-Based Editing 101 Basically, the Gutenberg differs from the current WordPress TinyMCE editor by replacing the single edit field with a lot of individual “blocks.” From what we’ve learned, these blocks will allow you to build more complex designs compared with the limitations from the previous website editor. The WordPress Gutenberg editor therefore is a huge step towards simplification in web design and general web editing.

  7. What is a Block? Whether in layman’s terms or in technical-specific, a block is a general term used for almost anything. A block could be used for:

  8. Can Gutenberg be Considered as a Page Builder? Unfortunately, Gutenberg in its current form cannot yet be considered as a page builder. Remember when we told you that it WILL become an all-in-one website editor? Well, upon its release it will be in its basic form and it will need to evolve further down the road as the core developers will encounter new ideas from time to time. I think that when it comes out any time soon this year even the WordPress Gutenberg tutorial will emphasize on it not being an immediate replacement for page builder apps.

  9. How to Install Gutenberg? First make sure that you have the WordPress version 4.8 before downloading and installing the Gutenberg website editor. You can find the WordPress plugins Gutenberg by doing a Google search – this should lead you directly to the WordPress repository – or you can download it from your WordPress dashboard under “Add New” plugins tab. Keep in mind to install this plugin on a test site to avoid any errors.

If everything goes well, then you can even publish your new site immediately! You will absolutely love it as it is easier to build and customize your website than with the previous TinyMCE editor. In 1-2 years from now the WordPress Gutenberg website editor will be completely different and will be able to support so many other apps, themes and plugins and it will be far superior than all the other editors that have come before it!
