Gutenberg WordPress Tutorial - Beginners Guide

It's insane how fast things move. It looks way different now.

Ammazing step by step explaination

Many features can be added to Gutenberg. They are easy to use and powerful. <3

I guess you are showing how to use the block editor. But this doesnt help on how to build an actual site at all. Do you have any videos of creating a one page site from start to finish. How you would set up a template or apply a template. Why even go into templates at all. Why do I need a front page template. ??

you said first up but forgot to say where you actually are. In site editor, page editor? that editing view can be seen in both and it isnt clear where you even start. How about doing an actual start from fresh install and where you go first. Templates? appearance - site editor- templates? create a page in dashboard? etc. You went straight to god knows where. Is this meant to be beginner?

Is this the future builder?

That felt a bit like an ad, but the outro was pretty clever ngl

I used to work in WP back when it first started out (even went to all the Wordpress Camps back in the day)... and I could poke my way around the backend and get a decent site. About 8 years ago I updated my site with Avada and I don't know what else... I've forgotten how I did any of it, as I've sorely neglected my site. I'm just getting back into things and felt lost with blocks and Gutenberg, etc. I had ChatGPT explain to me the relation between all of these things and then watched your excellent video. I think I'm ready to start the re-birth of my site... now which plug-in can give me three more hours in a day so I can actually find the time?!

how do you even get to where you are starting from here? all i see is a bunch of options that seemingly do nothing. as a coder wordpress is really aggravating me

Excellent!

Very useful and excellent video.

I have global colours set in my theme, also in Elementor and also potentially in stackable. How on earth do I know which one wins??🤔

Nice introduction

How can I install Gutenberg?

Gutanburg like figma I recommend to all ui designer use this Builder

thank u great teacher

In my WP install, V6.2.2 I see nothing about Gutenberg at all. How does one get to the screens being shown here for Gutenberg?

I cannot figure why the blue + (plus) is not working. Basicaly I can use only plain text.

wonderful tutorial

Your tutorial was kind of incredibly useful. Thanks.😅

Except for the Kadence theme that looks fine, sober, well designed, could you stop promoting paying third party extension? I can't focus only on GutenBerg result...

Keep it up sir love from pakistan

God bless you

Excellent tutorial. quick, organized and super informative. Thanks!

Nice intro. Total noob question here, but what is the "Gutenberg for Beginners" text? It doesn't show up in either the page settings or the block settings.

Great overview. DO you have any insights or recommendtaions on Digital Asset Management as it relates to the Media Library? Does Stackable Design offer such a function?

Very useful video. Thanks!

Subscribed because you're a genuine older guy that has a tonne of experience. I'm just a little younger than you, and I've just started using WP's new FSE feature. I've got to develop some plugins that integrate with Gutenburg ... but I know very little about Gutenburg and this video has helped me understand what it's about. Thanks buddy. Subbed.

Thank you for the tutorial. But I find Gutenberg terrible. The interface is confusing and everything is lumped together as if they just took a bunch of features and dumped it all on us to figure out.

The UI is God awful and I find that I can't get work done like I can with all of the other page builders on Wordpress.

I'm already getting complaints from customers. They find Gutenberg confusing and way harder than Wix or Weebly. In fact, they already are driven away from Wordpress because of their experience with Gutenberg.

Not only is the UI pretty bad, making simple edits such as spacing and font sizes just doesn't work. The <BR> tag doesn't work. Simple hitting enter to create a space doesn't work. It's a total fircken mess.

If I could decide about Gutenberg, I would honestly just scrap it. It's that bad.

Great video and very helpful as I'm getting a bit fed up with standard theme installs etc. I cannot see however if these Gutenberg blocks are mobile friendly or a button where you can see on PC, mobile and tablet. I also cannot see where each page has it's SEO options or adding anchors which is something a use a lot. These things I will try and find. Thanks again for your time.

This video was perfect for me, all killer no filler! Thanks

great tutorial, big help :) thank you so much

thanks Paul, i always enjoy watching your videos, thoughtful, direct to the point, and productive results .. appreciated !

Thanks so much!! I was just about to leave WordPress for something else. Your video brought me back. Well done!

👉👉👉 Muchas gracias, excelente tutorial. Muy claro y bien explicado. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile. 😃👌👍

Some nice Gutenberg tips here, thanks for sharing! As far as reusable blocks, I tested that feature in the past and experienced problems where the blocks were just disappearing - and as you can imagine, that can be a nightmare - especially if the reusable blocks were a pricing table or something and they all just went missing all at once for no apparent reason. And that's exactly what happened in my case! Not sure what the issue was, but I never really trusted reusable blocks after that. And I'm not the only one who's experienced this issue, others have reported the issue too. Have you ever experienced this?? If so, is there a fix to it?

You are an excellent teacher.!! Do not get me wrong and your work is much appreciated. The comment was not directed to you at all. it is a generic comment. IS incredible the amount of 'things' ( Plug-ins, themes, page builders, gutenberg, SEO , SSL, etc, etc ) that we need to go thru' and is NOT really worth it. These companies are all competing for a share of the market and we pay the brunt of it. Plug-ins that do not work , etc,etc due to the constant changes and the list goes on and on.
Thanks very much for work dedicated work to your audience , with your brillinat tutorials. Nothing to do with you is the "industry", i am afraid.

I wonder when are all these companies going to STOP changing and competing AT ANY COST against each other. They are confusing the H!*#! out of us. They can't stop changing things around ... As if we had nothing else to do but sit around and wait to be bombarded with more changes !!!. IS really pathetic. ! they should learn from Microsoft ( the changes/improvements are organised and released in a sequence that can be digested ).
I hope "Sharepoint" (with its own web interface) takes over all of these 'Web page builders./themes/plug-ins" and all of this ridiculous nonsense. I'm sure I speak for million of us that are fed with all of this nonsense !!!
Shame on you !

Super useful video! Thanks, Paul.

The file I downloaded but "local" will not install. Even though I downlaoded the Ubuntu version.

Sir can I add so many products using only Gutenberg....without woocommerce

Thanks for great video! I am having trouble finding the Stackable Design Library button. I installed Kadence theme and still can't see the button above. Where can I find this?

Great video Paul! please do more gutenburg tutorials exampel how to build website/ecommerce with kadence blocks or stackable design libary

Paul, this was SO useful, thanks so much for posting it! I have a couple of questions: What do you think would be the speed benefit (or loss) using Blocksy and block plugins like the Stackable or Kadence ones over using, say, Kadence theme with Kadence blocks? Minimal? And if I need dynamic sidebar menus for certain pages, would I be better off using something like Kadence over Blocksy, or does it matter? Thanks for putting out such amazing content, I'm learning so much!

thanks

it so sad that i have to watch a tutorial on how to use Gutenberg as I am old school been using the classic editor since WordPress started. After watching this gutenburg sucks its a hassle the classic editor is superior

Awesome video demonstration as usual! Thanks.
Now, we are waiting a higher-level video on this topic +troubleshooting session :-)

Hello, Can we use Pods for dynamic content with Gutenberg wordress? I know that works great with elementor , how about Gutenberg?

Sir Line Height missing in Typogrophy?? What to do??

Hey Paul, firstly thanks for your continuing contribution to the wp community. Big up. And my question.. What are your thoughts on kadence pro with Hooked elements etc in conjunction with Stackable Blocks? Do you think they would play nicely or best to avoid?
