 Welcome back to the channel Now a number of people have been asking me especially those from my local community about how to use Gutenberg which is the new WordPress editor since moving in from what the classic editor is Of course it solves a bit of issues here and there and Gutenberg also has its own problems that I really don't want to get into However, for someone who is going to create a very simple content and they don't mind how it's stored or the technical jar gone behind it Gutenberg seems to solve so many problems for those people So what I'm going to do is just to log in here and then just share with you a few of the fundamentals of how you can get into WordPress and open up Gutenberg which is the new editor and how to use it Now you'll find that currently before we had an editor of sort that allowed us to do different information and have our content in what we know that is known as a classic editor and it really left a gap in terms of end user styling of components of styling their content So there is a lot that was left in for you to actually do Now with the new Gutenberg editor you'll see that the whole interface changes here and it becomes something like this you're seeing a lot more white you're seeing a lot of icons here that show you a number of things So for example you're able to edit the different blocks that do come up you're able to see the hierarchy of the different blocks that you do have or they turn up so you can click on one and actually move below let's say you can actually find out more information on what's happening in your post you can find out the number of words that are used, the headings, the paragraphs the different blocks that are available for you and then you're able to undo any of the changes you make or redo them if you undid them and you're able to add other blocks by clicking this simple button here atop of the post So right now we have a demo content page here which is a Hello World which comes by default with Wordpress or ClassicPress and when you click it when you click to edit it it opens up a new page and essentially it comes with this whole new editor that you're seeing here it has all the default things this would be the title we see the pama link is already up here as it used to be in the old pages and then we have the content that streams down here now as I tap on the editor here I'm just going to browse through how you can figure your way around the whole interface that's coming because usually that's the challenge when you get to acquaint yourself with the interface of any software that you come across that is new then you're able to figure out most of those other things the small details that do come up Right now we have our title here when I click on the title if you look here in the right hand panel you'll see that we have the document tab is the one that's highlighted and as I click in the content here we see that the block navigation tab is the one that's clicked and it's the one that gives us the different options that we do have here the concept of Gutenberg is that it works with different blocks for example you have things like headings, lists, quotes verses, preformatted text groups and a number of other blocks and we're going to look at each one individually and how you can use it but before we dive into the different blocks let's look at what the document provides us now in the interface here we're able to see the pama link and we can change what it looks like quickly let's say I wanted to add a 2, 3 on it you see that our post is going to change its link and if we come here we're also able to see that it's now 2, 3 and it doesn't have the whole hello world so we can remove even the hello and just have hello 23 and when we click that we are able to see that our pama link is changed of course you have to hit the update button here the post itself before these judges can be affected in your database of course we have the options to see whether the post should be public or private or password protected we can change the date as we used to in the old editor and you're able to even delete this without first going into the old post then delete you can just click move to trash you can change the pama link you can see the categories here we can add new categories for example I could say this is in demo content by just clicking in there then say this is demo content and then when I hit enter this is a new category we've added so I can do that the tags also equally work the same so we can have this as part of demo so add a demo tag to it so we can set a featured image for either from our media library or we can even click to upload and you can upload any kind of let's say we're going to upload wordpress and we can add it there and choose that's going to be our featured image select it add it into our post then we can add an excerpt maybe something that is short and say loram ipsam and that is our excerpt that we'll have on the different pages that we displayed and we can allow for discussions to be shown like comments and pingbacks and we can even change the post attribute let's say we had a different template so we could change this to a full width template and we are coming with this from the 2020 theme that comes by default with wordpress so right now I'm using wordpress 5.3 so you're able to see if you go to the appearance and you go under themes you will see that the theme that is activated for me is the 2020 theme that comes by default with wordpress and this comes when it's gotten bug ready you also have 2019 that is also gotten bug ready it will work simply and neatly with the new editor so I hope you take this journey with me in an excited form ready to learn ready to see the positives of the block editor and to enjoy good and bug yourself so thank you for tuning in please keep your eyes open your ears peeled and enjoy yourself if you like the content that's coming from this channel I usually share videos that just exhibit some of the pain points that I do have either in development or replacing my clients and I post the solutions that I do get right on this particular channel so that other people can learn and can be able to share with others about the same challenges and the different solutions that are available so thank you for watching please leave a comment please leave a like if the videos are helpful for you and let me know what you would like to see and what you'd like to learn in the upcoming videos that will be released so enjoy yourself and happy coding so what I'm going to do
