The highly-anticipated WordPress 5.0 will make some of the older WordPress themes obsolete. Grab one of these WordPress themes for Gutenberg to prepare your website for the upcoming update.
The way we create and publish blog posts and pages using the WordPress editor stayed the same for many years and across many of WordPress updates. Things are about to change with WordPress 5.0.
What Is Gutenberg?
WordPress 5.0 is one of the biggest software updates to arrive since the WordPress 4.0 release in 2014. With this new version, WordPress is introducing a brand new post and page editor. They call this Project Gutenberg, named after Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the first printing press.
Why is this such a big deal? Well, Gutenberg completely overhauls the current WordPress editor to bring you a new post editing experience. The new editor features a block-based drag and drop editing experience, much like a page builder plugin and it will make your posts and pages look more beautiful as well.
According to Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of WordPress, the beta version of WordPress 5.0 is expected to arrive in August 2018. You can actually test drive the new editor using a demo website right now.
As you can imagine, most of the older WordPress themes won’t be compatible with this new post layouts at launch. Unless you have a regularly updated premium theme, you will have to upgrade to a better theme before updating to WordPress 5.0 when it arrives.
If you have a very old theme that hasn’t been updated for years or planning on building a new site, it’s best to choose a WordPress theme that’s compatible with WordPress 5.0 and Gutenberg. Here are some of the best Gutenberg WordPress themes you can buy.
