Introduction to Full Site Editing

“

- [Instructor] Earlier in the course, I mentioned that the WordPress editing experience has changed significantly in recent years, and so far, you've seen how to use blocks to create posts and pages. Well, take that concept a step further and imagine using blocks to create things outside of the content area, things like your site header or the site footer, essentially, using blocks to create your entire site. That capability is called full-site editing. When I originally recorded this course, that feature was in beta mode. So while you'll see that label hanging around in these lessons, you won't see that in your WordPress Admin anymore. Full-site editing requires a special type of theme that supports those features. It's come a long way in the past couple of years, and it continues to evolve by the day. I'm not going to detail full-site editing in this course, but if you're interested to learn more, check out this page.
