Hi Jamie. Thanks for good tips and tricks. I am currently starting with wordpress and it is really amazing to see so much useful content online! Thanks to you and all content creators!
Thanks man. Literally went through 5 videos where they didn't explain Gutenberg like their title said and they were trying to up sell their affiliated page builders. Really appreciate this video.
Excellent introduction to FSE. I’m going to follow this tutorial as closely as possible as I try to teach myself how to build my personal website and blog. Thank you Jamie for imparting your knowledge and skills into this WP rookie. Best to you and your health, Tracey
In your future videos, can you give the person on the piano a bit of screen time? They’re very good and it would be nice to see them play. thanks for the video!
I am a novice but, I've been using page builders for some time and so, misunderstood some of the basics of Wordpress. I thought that Gutenberg was baked in to Wordpress (not a plug-in). Now I'm thinking of experimenting with building a site without a builder and following this tutorial while doing so. Especially after viewing your video on the bloat of scripts that page builders leave behind when changing out Themes. I like your approach and what I gain from your knowledge!
After completing the reading settings as you describe and saving the changes, I do get the Home page on my site as per your example but it also lists in top right of the page, all the other pages
The future for core WordPress looks impressive! I wonder if we will see some currently premium features added one day to the core. For example, custom field creation and faceted filtering and search capability. Fingers crossed!
@@jamiewp I believe you are correct, but one can hope! Presently I am experimenting with Meta Box to create custom post types and fields for a website that acts as a pseudo library of training resources. These consist of either PDF documents or CZcams video links for use by cadets I train, and I hope to offer the facility to search and/or filter the various resources. Appreciate there are plugins available that assist with this, and I recently purchased Piotnet Grid. However, in an ideal world, the core of WP would offer facets (AKA filtering) within Gutenberg. I appreciate this makes me "greedy", but the upcoming freedoms offered by FSE have stoked my appetite for more! :-)
Hi Jamie I hope you are well today ! Great information 👍👍 you helped me to understand how to use this FSE editor, in the moment I use the Gutenberg. But the problem I have with pattern is this; each pattern has different font styles, size, family, so your website will look weird after adding a few patterns to it. Make them unite changing in each pattern the title, header, body content font style is a pain in the ass not an easy workflow. How make the pattern fonts unite with the theme css fonts? When you making backups with free plugins, do they make a backup of you custom simple css and your design styles and patterns you add to yoour pages?
No, but yesterday working with gutenberg on the twenty twenty theme I found out how to make the fonts same on all patterns: select the block with text and voila you can set the format. The other side the FSE editor, but adding last posts into a page then pagination will not work, or a load button not showing up, the rest works fine. FSE editor in the moment is a little bit complicated for me I try to learn it, I'm on the way...have a nice day Jamie !
As a teacher of college level design students, I feel I have stumbled on a treasure trove in your channel! After learning about FSE and the bright future of Gutenberg, I wonder if I am doing my students a disservice if I teach page builders. I plan to introduce Elementor shortly but I see Gutenberg capable of what Elementor offers (with cleaner faster code). Any thoughts on the future of page builders with FSE on the horizon?
Hi Robyn, firstly thank you so much for your kind words :) That's a great question and I'll be making a video just on that soon. FSE is certainly bringing a challenge to page builders going forward because with FSE blocks are now intrinsic to Wordpress.
Elementor is much more intuitive to use than Gutenberg, therefor simpler for newcomers because it's truly WYSIWYG like any word processor. However, the extra page bloat and the Pro version paywall is enough of a negative for me to prefer Gutenberg, even though it's currently a bit tacky to use compared to Elementor (and Brizy for that matter). Gutenberg should be pretty slick by the end of 2022, so it's worth getting on board as soon as WP 5.9 is released in a month or so.
Hi Jamie. What step do I need to do before "Building a Home Page" (13:00)? Do I need to save the header I just created? Does this header appear in all pages? For "Building a Home Page", was the previously created "Home" page opened for editing? Kind regards. Markus
'm sorry off topic, but I'm having a whale of a time resolving a Header issue. I want the text on the left and Hamburger menu on the right to line up with edges of the Slider below it. When I set the correct padding for the Tablet the padding for the phone is no good and visa versa. I cannot find a way to set them separately in the Customizer. Kadence Theme Pro Kadence Blocks Pro... Ive tried Tech support and they haven't come up with a solution
Just starting out learning to build web sites and decided to commit to FSE immediately. Will the new editor allow for creating different layouts for devices such as pc, mobile and tablet.
@@jamiewp For example I dont see on any blocks/columns a section part to include html tags like main or some html tags like a header inside a section and not a div. Im so confused about this 5.9 html structure.
Jamie I notice that the "font Family" (the font options) are limited to 5 diffrent fonts only for this site builder. Is there anyway to select from more fonts? is this a limitation with gutenberg or maybe I am not doing it correctlt. Thank you in advance for any feedback.
Hi Justin, fonts come from the theme (not gutenberg) so it's likely a limitation from the theme - how here's an easy way to add more fonts (google fonts ) wordpress.org/plugins/easy-google-fonts/
Hello Jamie, in all the tutorials you start with making some pages, but I don’t fill the site, I only build it. Can I use Full Site Editing to make my theme but not fill it? So a user fills a simple page with title, text, highlighted text, image, menu-item etc. and with Full Site Editing I place those items in a template page. (I’m new with Wordpress, I use Drupal)
@@kmul2532 content locking is coming and there is an API for it already - so you could create templates for end users and then only permit them to change what you want - here's a good overview czcams.com/video/jOp5OdEQcvE/video.html
I would like to follow along with your content but already I notice I do not see "site editor" on my dashboard. I followed every step yu took. Am i missing something? Thank you and anyone that has the solution in advance.
ok update. I worked my way around that but on the 10:30 mark I do not see "make template part" on my end. Is there a workaround or solution to this anyone? Jamie mentioned this is an "important part". Thank you in advance
@@jamiewp you are right! I did follow your step but I did not "activate the Tove theme! I had a kadence theme activated. Now that I went back in your video and activated the "tove" theme all is fixed and I can follow along! Thank you for clarifying that I was looking forward to following your video and now I can! Great channel btw keep up your talents
Ah lots of good info but still the most ESSENTIAL parts are skipped. After building the header. You cut and then appear to be on your page for editing. Exactly how you got there is key and essential to understanding where to edit and how to edit in FSE. EVERY single CZcams video DOESN'T have the steps to editing a page. You can be in admin and click pages then click edit.. this takes you to a different spot if you were to go into the editor then click pages then click edit. They are apparently completely different and seperate?? Also need to know if it's possible to Assign a template to an existing page. If I created a home page but want it to be different to every other page. How do you even do that. It's a 'page' template by default but I need it to have a different header design to other pages. How?
Stupid question, but also this is a stupid issue: How do I assign pages to menus? The function seems to have been completely removed. There's no way to edit menu items or assign items to menus. It starts with a default blank menu, and then you can create a new menu which also has no items in it, and items cannot still be added. Anyone else having this issue? Wordpress 6.1 is fundamentally broken without this basic function.
I intend to use Gutenberg Block Editor for my website. Will also install Gutenberg plugin. But, to create a website should I better use the tove theme recommended in the tutorial above or go with the option of creating a 'self made' FSE theme from one of your others tutorials czcams.com/video/_wKXspKbxeE/video.html And will the Gutenberg plugin negatively affect my website speed? BTW, great tutorials, easy to understand even for a non-native English speaker. Subscribed to your channel.

Great presentation.

thank you Tracey 😊
Thanks for showing us this and also letting us know what to expect in newer releases of Gutenberg.
No problem!
If you would have the advices for a young foreign wordpress content creator.
What would that be ?
In your future videos, can you give the person on the piano a bit of screen time? They’re very good and it would be nice to see them play. thanks for the video!

Hi, Gutenberg is actually baked into wordpress and is a plugin. The plugin is always a few steps ahead of what's baked in though.
What a fantastic walkthrough - thank you!

my guess is that those will stay as plugins - what do you mostly use custom fields for?

Could you please make a similar tuto for the beta version its really pain in the ass to customize with new groups and blocks

If you are editing page templates you can restore them back to default - go to templates and click on the 3 dots to the right of the template
