It’s a whole new way to use WordPress. Try it right here!
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.
Meet your new best friends, Blocks
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. Instead of using custom code, you can add a block and focus on your content.
Without being an expert developer, you can build your own custom posts and pages. Here’s a selection of the default blocks included with Gutenberg:
Be your own builder
A single block is nice—reliable, clear, distinct. Discover the flexibility to use media and content, side by side, driven by your vision.
Gutenberg ❤️ Developers
Built with modern technology.
Gutenberg was developed on GitHub using the WordPress REST API, JavaScript, and React.
Designed for compatibility.
We recommend migrating features to blocks, but support for existing WordPress functionality remains. There will be transition paths for shortcodes, meta-boxes, and Custom Post Types.
The editor is just the beginning
Gutenberg is more than an editor. It’s also the foundation that’ll revolutionize customization and site building in WordPress.
