Building Custom Gutenberg blocks from Scratch

Hands-on Workshop

In WordPress 5.0, WordPress introduced the Gutenberg editor also known as a block editor.

Gutenberg helps you create content in a more visual way than the previous TinyMCE editor. To do this, it provides a library of pre-built elements, or ‘blocks’. Each block can be added to a page or post and customized. In addition to the list of pre-built blocks, we can also create custom blocks.

In this workshop, you will first be briefly introduced to the block editor and will be shown how to create a custom block from scratch including the setup that is needed to build the js and CSS files.

About Sudar

Sudar has been programming for more than two decades and is a polyglot. He has written production code in more than half a dozen programming languages – and most of it was using Vim!

Sudar first discovered WordPress in late 2005 while searching for a self-hosted blogging platform for his migration away from Blogger. After tinkering with WordPress for his blog, he published his first WordPress plugin in late 2007 and has since continued to release more than 24 plugins with a total of nearly a million downloads.

What the Hook? – A deeper understanding of Hooks in WordPress

WordPress is built with the assumption that plugins and themes are going to extend its core functionality. This is done through the system of hooks that come in the form of filters and actions.

When to use action and when filter? What is the difference, if there is any? Why hooks sometimes don’t work and how to use them properly? Should you create your own hook and why would anyone do such a thing?

Do you have more questions? All will be answered.
