Questions tagged [wordpress-gutenberg]

Gutenberg is the visual editor for WordPress. A question tagged wordpress-gutenberg should be related to usage or modification of the Gutenberg editor. These are best asked on Stack Exchange WordPress Development.

Gutenberg is the new visual editor for WordPress. Introduced in WordPress 5.0, it provides tools for creating more flexible and media rich posts/pages. Gutenberg posts are composed of "blocks" which can be inserted, rearranged, and styled to create more complex layouts and formats, while not requiring as much technical knowledge from your average user. Gutenberg utilizes the WordPress REST API and React.

A basic understanding of JavaScript frameworks, specifically React, is recommended for Gutenberg development, and more in-depth editing may require a primary knowledge of state management patterns, such as Redux.

Questions with this tag should be related to either using the new Gutenberg editor or modifying and extending the editor's default functionality (blocks, filters, formats, etc).
