Gutenberg

Gutenberg is the block-based content editor for WordPress that replaced the classic TinyMCE editor in WordPress 5.0. It introduces a modular approach where content is composed of individual blocks for paragraphs, images, galleries, buttons, and other content types. Each block can be independently styled, rearranged using drag-and-drop, and configured with specific settings and attributes. Gutenberg provides a visual editing experience closer to how content appears on the published page, reducing the disconnect between editing and final output. The editor includes reusable blocks, block patterns for common layouts, and an extensive ecosystem of third-party blocks through plugins. It supports full-site editing in modern themes, allowing users to customize headers, footers, and template parts using the same block interface. Gutenberg represents WordPress's evolution toward a more flexible, component-based content creation system.
