Gutenberg

Description

“Gutenberg” is a codename for a whole new paradigm in WordPress site building and publishing, that aims to revolutionize the entire publishing experience as much as Gutenberg did the printed word. Right now, the project is in the first phase of a four-phase process that will touch every piece of WordPress — Editing, Customization, Collaboration, and Multilingual — and is focused on a new editing experience, the block editor.

The block editor introduces a modular approach to pages and posts: each piece of content in the editor, from a paragraph to an image gallery to a headline, is its own block. And just like physical blocks, WordPress blocks can added, arranged, and rearranged, allowing WordPress users to create media-rich pages in a visually intuitive way — and without work-arounds like shortcodes or custom HTML.

The block editor first became available in December 2018, and we’re still hard at work refining the experience, creating more and better blocks, and laying the groundwork for the next three phases of work. The Gutenberg plugin gives you the latest version of the block editor so you can join us in testing bleeding-edge features, start playing with blocks, and maybe get inspired to build your own.

FAQ

How can I send feedback or get help with a bug?

We’d love to hear your bug reports, feature suggestions and any other feedback! Please head over to the GitHub issues page to search for existing issues or open a new one. While we’ll try to triage issues reported here on the plugin forum, you’ll get a faster response (and reduce duplication of effort) by keeping everything centralized in the GitHub repository.

What’s Next for the Project?

The four phases of the project are Editing, Customization, Collaboration, and Multilingual. You can hear more about the project and phases from Matt in his State of the Word talks for 2019 and 2018. Additionally you can follow updates in the Make WordPress Core blog.

While some people love change, but i hate this change in WordPress. This is the worst plugin i encounter in my entire. Gotta need to install another plugin just to remove this.

Please remove Gutenburg from WordPress. Please add a button so I can easily disable Gutenburg during installation. Please add a button in the settings to disable Gutenburg. Please stop. Its so terrible. It makes no sense. It is confusing. There is no distinction as to what part is the title and the body. Wordpress is an immaculate programming product. Gutenburg is the opposite. Gutenburg is bad tires on a ferrari. It hurts me everytime I have to disable it manually. My fingers complain when having to click so many times to remove something that I should be able to remove with a click of a button. If money is being allocated to Gutenburg, please allocate this money to maybe making woocommerce less crazy and less slow.

I postponed updating my WP for more than a year because I new most new releases are shitty and will give me headaches as it will not work well with plugins, themes etc. Now, after about 1 year and a half, I decided to upgrade. I only wish I would have read the reviews first. The Gutenberg editor is horrible compared to the old one and it's pretty much copied from Buzzfeed blocks editor, which even though was horrible it didn't have that many errors. Gutenberg is full of errors and glitches and will make posting a living hell. Luckily there's a Classic Editor plugin but it's said that I have to install another plugin to have the old version back. I don't know why WordPress is not rolling back the Classic Editor as this one has clearly failed. They do offer a Classic block that you can use, but that one is full of errors, for example when you try to Undo some mistake it will undo the whole post in that editor. It's insane. It also doesn't work properly with many plugins such as WPRM. I think WordPress should just take a look at the reviews for the Classic Editor. It has more than 5 million installs and 784 5-star reviews. In contrast, Gutenberg has more than 3000 reviews and averages at 2 stars. This is people's opinion of your new editor guys. Just admit the failure and bring back the classic editor.

Спасибо за Гутенберг! Продолжайте допиливать и не слушайте умалишенных, криворуких недосайтостроителей, которые кроме как двигать виджеты в пресловутом элементоре ничего более не умеют.

Thank you for adding the element's text to the Document Outline menu choice. The document outline preview and navigation is extremely helpful now.
