Gutenberg
Gutenberg is newly developed, block-oriented editor, written in React. It uses blocks to create all types of content, replacing a half-dozen inconsistent ways of customizing WordPress, bringing it in line with modern coding standards and aligning with open web initiatives. These content blocks transform how users, developers, and hosts interact with WordPress to make building rich web content easier and more intuitive, democratizing publishing—and work—for everyone, regardless of technical ability.
Gutenberg is not yet available to websites at BU. If you have a custom theme built by Interactive Design, please contact your account executive for questions about your theme and Gutenberg compatibility. Generally speaking, pre-Gutenberg themes will need additional development work to be fully compatible with the new WordPress editor. This does not mean your theme will stop working when Gutenberg is enabled—it simply means the theme won't be able to take advantage of features in the new editor.
