Getting More Out of Gutenberg with the Genesis Framework
With the release of WordPress 5.0, the default post editor received a major overhaul. Rather than offer a new iteration of the classic editor, which had been left mostly unchanged since WordPress launched in 2003, version 5.0 introduced Gutenberg, a new block-based editing experience, which has taken over as the default editor in all versions of WordPress moving forward.
Even though Gutenberg has been lauded for its feature-rich functionality and its ease-of-use for people with a non-technical background, there are still questions surrounding the best ways to put it to use. The Genesis Framework, which is available to WP Engine customers at no extra charge, provides Gutenberg-specific features that developers can take advantage of when building their own websites, pages, and child themes.

I’m not a developer or much of a techie but I have two websites, one medium size and one quite large. I have to do a lot of my own work to maintain them with only occasional help from a tech company. I second Sarah Hatters comment on the tech support people at @wpengine. They have hosted my sites for three years or so and I am very pleased with not only the support but the great attitude of people working there. I just completed the upgrade into the new triple environment based hosting and the PHP 7.2 upgrade. They made it a breeze!
Thank you, Robert – we’re glad to hear it!
