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.
