Gutenberg Introduction

Gutenberg Editor It is the official built-in editor of WordPress, formerly known as Classic Editor The Gutenberg editor has been strongly promoted since WordPress 5.0. Although there are a lot of objections, it cannot stop the official determination.

As of the release of this article, WordPress 6.0 has just launched the beta version of Gutenberg's website editor, which is only supported by the official 2022 theme.

The function of the Gutenberg website editor is relatively weak, and the simple layout is not bad, but it cannot be operated in depth, and there is no setting involving details.
