Block Editor (Gutenberg) Tutorials

The block editor — still widely known as Gutenberg — is how you write and lay out everything in modern WordPress. These step-by-step tutorials cover individual blocks, patterns, media embeds, and full site editing, from your first paragraph block to custom layouts.

About Block Editor (Gutenberg) Tutorials

The block editor arrived with WordPress 5.0 and has since become the heart of the platform: every post, page and — with full site editing — even your header, footer and templates are built from blocks. Each block is a small, self-contained piece of content (a paragraph, an image, a table, a video embed) that you can move, style and reuse without touching code. Once the mental model clicks, building layouts that used to require a page builder or a developer becomes an ordinary editing task.

The guides in this category are written for site owners, not developers. They start with the everyday blocks — paragraphs, images, quotes, tables — and work up to the ones people usually discover later: latest posts, media & text, shortcodes, page breaks and embeds. You'll also find coverage of block patterns and where to find ready-made block collections when the built-in library isn't enough.

If you're brand new to the editor, start with the paragraph block tutorial and work forward from there — each guide is short, screenshot-driven and focused on one task. And if you'd rather have someone walk you through your own site live, that's exactly what our one-on-one tutoring sessions are for.
