Full Site Editing

What is full site editing?

Full site editing is a set of new WordPress features:
Block themes, template editing, site blocks, and global styles.

Block themes

With block themes, you use blocks to create entire pages or websites.
Everything you see on a page is a block.

Template editor

Templates are page designs and layouts created with blocks.
With the template editor you can add templates to your posts and pages.
You can combine existing content with new templates, and give your posts and pages individual designs, headers, site footers or colors.
You can create your own custom templates or edit existing templates without code.

Site Editor

In the Site Editor you can edit site templates like your homepage, 404, archives and search results page. Here you can also manage your websites templates and template parts.

Global styles

With the Styles options you can change the website’s background color and typography settings like font family and font size.
You can set default colors for blocks, and create your own custom color palette.

New site blocks

You can customize your pages using new site blocks, including: Site title, logo, navigation, post title, featured image, date, categories and tags.

A new theme configuration file for developers

Theme developers can use the new configuration file with both classic themes and block themes. With the theme.json file, you can define default block settings, content width, fonts and colors, and drastically reduce the CSS needed to create themes.
