Gutenberg Theme Night

We have organised a theme night on 17 January 2019 focusing on Gutenberg, the new block editor in WordPress. We have had a lot of attendees that are WP users, but also a couple of developers.

We (Csaba Varszegi & Veerle Verbert) would like to share our slides and the links we’ve collected when preparing for this night.

The presentations

“The possibilities of WordPress in Twenty Nineteen” — Csaba Varszegi

With the release of WordPress 5.0 we have a new default editor (aka the Block Editor, aka Gutenberg). And we got a new default WordPress theme: Twenty Nineteen. Twenty Nineteen makes full use of the new possibilities of Gutenberg. Csaba briefs us about the choices made in the (ultra-short) development process of Twenty Nineteen and guides us through the theme.

“Make your theme Gutenberg-compatible (basics)” — Veerle Verbert

Starter tips to make an existing or new theme Gutenberg-ready. With lots of references to starter themes, tutorials and documentation.

The links mainly focus on Gutenberg ready themes, Twenty Nineteen and getting your own theme ready for Gutenberg (basics).
