Comments on: 6 Important WordPress Gutenberg Updates to Be Aware Of https://torquemag.io/2021/02/gutenberg-updates/ All the Word that's fit to Press Fri, 12 Feb 2021 08:35:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Peter Müller https://torquemag.io/2021/02/gutenberg-updates/#comment-640657 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 08:35:15 +0000 https://torquemag.io/?p=90236#comment-640657 A quote from the introduction: »Gutenberg, or the Block Editor as it’s now commonly called, is WordPress’ built-in page and post editor.«

Wrong. Just wrong. And this post just adds to the confusion by listing features currently available in the WP 5.6 block editor (03 to 06) with features currently only available in the Gutenberg plugin (01 and 02).

I can literally hear the poor block editor desperately shouting »Don’t call me Gutenberg, I am just the block editor.«

They are not the same. »Gutenberg« is the name of the whole project of changing wordpress, consisting of four phases. The current stage of development can be tested by installing the Gutenberg plugin (and a block based theme).

The »block editor« is just phase one of this project. Phase two will take the concept of blocks »outside« of the block editor.

To test it you will need the Gutenberg plugin and a block based theme like TT1 Blocks (NOT the default theme). FSE will not be done in the block editor but in a new site editor.

Conclusion: Sorry, but this post would need a rewrite in order to clear things up ….
