1. Gutenberg Block Editor
WordPress Dashboard > Posts > Add New

First, you need to type in the title of your post by clicking on the “Add Title” field, and by clicking on the “Type/to choose a block” field you can type in the text of your post.
Now let’s turn to the blocks. The essential part of the Gutenberg Editor is its blocks, as any website owner without any coding skills can create amazing pages and posts by using this editor.
By clicking on the “Plus” icon you can add different blocks and edit your post/page. Let’s see what we have here.
You can add an image to your post by clicking on the “Image” block, also you can add some different blocks, such as
- Paragraph-for typing a text
- Shortcode-for typing a shortcode of any post
- Columns-for adding different types of columns
- Groupes

- And so on.
Gutenberg Block editor provides you with several blocks. If you want to find them all just click on the “Browse All” button. On the right side, all blocks suggested by the Gutenberg Block editor appear. If you exactly know which block you need you can just type in its name on the “Search bar“.
