Gutenberg 11.6, the latest version of WordPress’s block-based website editing experience, has been released. This new version includes useful enhancements as well as a number of bug fixes. The ability to crop and edit a logo image directly in a WordPress editor is perhaps the most intriguing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg Site Editor <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg is a WordPress site builder that uses a drag-and-drop web design interface to make creating websites easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need an image within a page section, simply drag the appropriate block and place it where you want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The editor isn’t finished yet, but it’s far enough along in the development cycle that many people think it’s useful right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, many WordPress themes are now available that can be edited with the Gutenberg editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One advantage of using the Gutenberg editor plugin is that it can result in extremely fast websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg is implementing a four-phase development strategy. WordPress is currently in phase two of four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how the plugin page for Gutenberg describes what it is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGutenberg\u201d is a codename for a whole new paradigm for creating with WordPress, that aims to revolutionize the entire publishing experience as much as Gutenberg did the printed word.<\/p>

The project is following a four-phase process that will touch major pieces of WordPress \u2014 Editing, Customization, Collaboration, and Multilingual.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

1. Editing the Native Site Logo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before Gutenberg 11.6, a publisher had to edit their logo before uploading it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publishers can now upload the logo and, if necessary, edit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cropping, zooming, and rotating the image are all available editing functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A WordPress GitHub example shows a person selecting the site logo block, then the media library from which the image is selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a quick video that walks you through the process of selecting an image and editing it. The image is then loaded and editable in the logo block workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Control of Block Level Locking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another useful new feature for theme designers and WordPress site designers is the ability to lock a block to prevent it from being moved or removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the WordPress announcement, the new feature is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlock-level lock takes priority over the templateLock feature and currently, you can lock moving and removing blocks.<\/p>

The toolbar of locked blocks will have the movers hidden, and the Remove block option won\u2019t be available either.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

3. Fundamental Support for Child Themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg has received an important update with the addition of support for child themes. Child themes allow publishers to make changes to the theme’s look and feel that will not be overridden when the theme is updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a child theme, a publisher can make as many changes to the appearance of a theme as they want without fear of losing the changes when the theme is updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following are some of the advantages and functions provided by the new child theme support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
