The new WordPress editor!
The new editor, also known as Gutenberg, is a major overhaul of the classic WordPress editor. It's designed to be more intuitive, flexible, and powerful. Here's a brief guide on how to edit a WordPress page using the new editor:
Accessing the new editor
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Click on the "Pages" or "Posts" tab, depending on the type of content you want to edit.
- Click on the page or post you want to edit.
- Click on the "Edit" button.
Understanding the new editor interface
The new editor is divided into several sections:
- Block Editor: This is the main editing area where you can add and arrange content blocks.
- Sidebar: This is where you'll find the formatting options, block settings, and other tools.
- Block Library: This is where you can browse and add pre-built blocks to your content.
Basic editing tasks
- Adding content: Click on the "+" icon in the Block Editor to add a new block. You can choose from various block types, such as text, image, video, and more.
- Formatting: Use the formatting options in the sidebar to change the font, size, color, and alignment of your text.
- Moving blocks: Drag and drop blocks to reorder them or move them to a different location.
- Deleting blocks: Click on the three dots at the top right corner of a block and select "Delete" to remove it.
Advanced editing tasks
- Customizing block settings: Click on the three dots at the top right corner of a block and select "Block Settings" to customize its appearance and behavior.
- Adding custom CSS: Use the "Custom CSS" option in the block settings to add custom CSS styles to your block.
- Using shortcodes: The new editor supports shortcodes, which allow you to add custom functionality to your content. You can add shortcodes by clicking on the "+" icon and selecting "Shortcode" from the block library.
- Using widgets: The new editor also supports widgets, which are small blocks of content that can be added to your page or post. You can add widgets by clicking on the "+" icon and selecting "Widget" from the block library.
Tips and tricks
- Use the block library: The block library is a great resource for finding pre-built blocks and templates to help you get started.
- Experiment with different block types: The new editor offers a wide range of block types, so don't be afraid to experiment and find the ones that work best for your content.
- Use the formatting options: The formatting options in the sidebar can help you create visually appealing content quickly and easily.
- Take advantage of the undo and redo features: The new editor has a robust undo and redo system, so don't worry if you make a mistake – you can easily revert back to a previous version of your content.
