Gutenberg

Сүрөттөө

“Gutenberg” is a codename for a whole new paradigm for creating with WordPress, that aims to revolutionize the entire publishing experience as much as Johannes Gutenberg did the printed word. The project is following a four-phase process that will touch major pieces of WordPress — Editing, Customization, Collaboration, and Multilingual.

Following the introduction of post block editing in December 2018, Gutenberg later introduced full site editing (FSE) in 2021, which shipped with WordPress 5.9 in early 2022.

What Does Gutenberg Do?

Gutenberg is WordPress’s “block editor”, and introduces a modular approach to modifying your entire site. Edit individual content blocks on posts or pages. Add and adjust widgets. Even design your site headers, footers, and navigation with full site editing support.

Each piece of content in the editor, from a paragraph to an image gallery to a headline, is its own block. And just like physical blocks, WordPress blocks can be added, arranged, and rearranged, allowing users to create media-rich content and site layouts in a visually intuitive way — and without workarounds like shortcodes or custom HTML and PHP.

We’re always hard at work refining the experience, creating more and better blocks, and laying the groundwork for future phases of work. Each WordPress release includes stable features from the Gutenberg plugin, so you don’t need to install the plugin to benefit from the work being done here.

Early Access

Are you a tech-savvy early adopter who likes testing bleeding-edge and experimental features, and isn’t afraid to tinker with features that are still in active development? If so, this beta plugin gives you access to the latest Gutenberg features for block and full site editing, as well as a peek into what’s to come.

Contributors Wanted

For the adventurous and tech-savvy, the Gutenberg plugin gives you the latest and greatest feature set, so you can join us in testing and developing bleeding-edge features, playing around with blocks, and maybe get inspired to contribute or build your own blocks.

FAQ.KG

How can I send feedback or get help with a bug?

The best place to report bugs, feature suggestions, or any other feedback is at the Gutenberg GitHub issues page. Before submitting a new issue, please search the existing issues to check if someone else has reported the same feedback.

While we try to triage issues reported here on the plugin forum, you’ll get a faster response (and reduce duplication of effort) by keeping feedback centralized in GitHub.

Where can I report security bugs?

The Gutenberg team and WordPress community take security bugs seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings, and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.

To report a security issue, please visit the WordPress HackerOne program.

Do I have to use the Gutenberg plugin to get access to these features?

Not necessarily. Each version of WordPress after 5.0 has included features from the Gutenberg plugin, which are known collectively as the WordPress Editor. You are likely already benefiting from stable features!

But if you want cutting edge beta features, including more experimental items, you will need to use the plugin. You can read more here to help decide whether the plugin is right for you.

Where can I see which Gutenberg plugin versions are included in each WordPress release?

View the Versions in WordPress document to get a table showing which Gutenberg plugin version is included in each WordPress release.

What’s next for the project?

The four phases of the project are Editing, Customization, Collaboration, and Multilingual. You can hear more about the project and phases from Matt in his State of the Word talks for 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Additionally, you can follow the biweekly release notes and monthly project plan updates on the Make WordPress Core blog for more up to date information about what’s happening now.

As someone who had an award-winning site that garnered millions of hits, I abandoned the site years ago only to return and find WP has changed over to Gutenberg. This will now take its place with Microsoft Office as yet another prime example of what happens when you try to dumb things down only to make them more complicated and difficult to use. The classic editor was great, but the folks upstairs decided that using code was too complicated for people so they came up with the dumb idea of blocks. The only problem is blocks are difficult to edit or modify. To name it Gutenberg and compare it to the invention of movable type is ridiculous. It is as if Gutenberg’s movable type were replaced with blocks of type all glued together under assigned arbitrary uses like headlines, ads, etc. so that it is impossible to actually write an original headline or even modify the typeface used for it.

WordPress.com says: “Updates are managed by WordPress.com. This plugin was installed by WordPress.com and provides features that are included in your plan.” That reads like added value that you paid for. In reality, WordPress.com forces the plugin’s users to work as beta testers or guinea pigs on the further development of Gutenberg. Because of the waste of time, I strongly recommend deactivating it.

What’s the point of claiming that page loads faster when Gutenberg makes it difficult to create visually appealing pages? The emphasis should be on the ease of designing a page, as speed only matters once the page is actually built. If users struggle to achieve the desired layout and design, faster loading times become irrelevant. Ultimately, usability and design should be prioritized over speed claims to ensure a satisfactory user experience. Main Reasons why it fails:Many users encounter difficulties with Gutenberg for several reasons. First, adapting to its block-based interface can be challenging, especially for those accustomed to traditional WYSIWYG editors, resulting in confusion and frustration. Second, the customization options are relatively limited compared to dedicated page builders, often requiring additional plugins or custom coding to achieve specific layouts. Lastly, performance issues may arise, particularly on complex pages, which can impact site speed and compatibility with other plugins. These factors can render Gutenberg less appealing for certain users and projects. Gutenberg throws error every now and then, it cannot handle intensive page elements.
