The WordPress Editor has changed.
By now, you've probably heard about Gutenberg, the all-new editor that's coming soon to WordPress. Gutenberg will transform the WordPress editor into a powerful tool that will enable you to create rich content with more control over layouts. Gutenberg introduces the concept of ‘content blocks,’ and it's sure to have a massive and long-lasting impact on how you create content in WordPress.
The current editor got us through the last 14 years. We want Gutenberg to get us through the next 14.” — Matt Mullenweg, Creator of WordPress
Who is this course for?
This course is for all WordPress users. Gutenberg was released over a year ago, but many people are still unclear about what it is, how it works, and why it's important. In short, if you use WordPress to create or edit content for your website, you'll want to learn how to use the new Block Editor (‘Gutenberg’). This course is especially important for:
- Content creators who want a more powerful native content editor without the need for a plugin. The new WordPress Editor is introducing the concept of blocks, giving us more modular content layouts. If you create content, this course will show you how get the most out of this new experience.
- Freelancers and agencies who need to know how Gutenberg works for their clients. This course will give you everything you need to effectively prepare your clients for the upcoming change to WordPress, including UI walk-throughs and test plans for upgrading.
- WordPress educators who train users on how to use the Dashboard. If you’re tasked with teaching folks how to use WordPress, this course can be your first foray into creating your own lesson plans and material for your students, employees, and customers.
