Guttenberg editor

This was done back in 2020, but it may help, or help explain to those wishing to try to mimic the old classic editor. Check out this link.

Hopefully it will help those that want to continue with the classic editor. I have about resigned myself to the Gutenbug (pun intended) block editor. I find navigating it not nearly as challenging as in the early adoption of it. However, I am still vexed by the constant shifting of blocks, and having to hunt them down when they should by all logic, be at the ready if I used them last. Maybe it’s a cookie setting, but I’ve had no problems of that sort a few updates ago.

Take a look at the post, it may be outdated by now, we all know how fast they change plans and minds. Let me know if it helped you at all, or if you found it is dated already.

Comments welcome.

For those that have forgotten, the new Gutenberg Editor will be in the next major release of WordPress. I did a short post, and a boring video about it in February of this year. Since that time, many improvements have been made in the editor. 6 months ago, inserting an image and wrapping text around it, was challenging. Now it is easier and more reliable than the standard editor. At least to me.

For dressing up your posts

I am actually creating this post using the new editor. I like the workflow and location of items you may need while writing. Tags appear in a drop down list as you start to type. For dressing up your posts, colors, sizes and other options are readily available.

Start thinking in “blocks”. Everything is arranged by blocks. You can move them, change what they contain etc. You can even save a block for reuse later.

We have two types of Quote styles.

The gallery feature is falling down simple to use. I have been needing this. The plugin that I used, was forever pestering me to upgrade constantly.
