WordPress, as we all know, is one of the biggest content management platforms. It is updated frequently with minor and major fixes that enhance functionality and provide a better user experience. WordPress 5.0 brought a major change: it replaced the original editor with the all-block Gutenberg Editor.

Gutenberg has revolutionized how you create WordPress pages. Blocks are the building material for your pages. You can create, stack, drag, and drop them with ease.

The editor includes a selection of blocks that cover most content creation needs: paragraphs, headings, quotes, images, galleries, cover images, lists, buttons, embeds, audio, and video. Advanced users can create custom blocks, and there is a dedicated block for inserting code.
