Hi! 👋
Welcome to this course about full site editing with WordPress.
My name is Carolina Nymark. I am a developer at Yoast, a long-time WordPress and Gutenberg contributor, and core committer.
I am a bundled theme component maintainer and was one of the leads for Twenty Twenty-One and Twenty Twenty-Five.
I started sharing guides about full site editing in the fall of 2020, and wow, has a lot changed since then! WordPress now has partial support for full site editing since version 5.8, a new Site Editor in version 5.9, and new versions packed with improvements and features.
In my previous introduction, I spoke about how change is both exciting and scary. And how we, as theme developers, need to test, learn, and provide feedback about full site editing to influence change. This is still essential if we want full site editing to work for the people using our themes, and for us.
More and more people are showing an interest in block themes, and we are in a period where WordPress is experiencing growing pains. We are starting to see the possibilities with full site editing, but there is a need for better extensibility to go further, faster.
So as you explore and learn more about FSE, please share your questions and your solutions with your fellow developers. You can also help improve full site editing and block themes by bringing your feedback, bug reports, and feature requests to the Gutenberg GitHub repository.
How to use this course
To make the most out of my developer oriented full site editing guides, you need to have basic knowledge of WordPress theme development, and how to work with blocks in the editor.
– The material is free, you do not need to register, and you will have access to all updates.
I have divided the lessons into chapters. Some of the lessons have exercises, and others are more useful as references.
Course content and progression
I recommend that you take the lessons in order because sometimes I refer to previous lessons. You can use the knowledge gained in the earlier lessons as you progress through the course.
Navigating the course pages
