WordPress Gutenberg: How to Customize Blocks With Full-Site Editing

How to Customize Blocks With Full-Site Editing

So far, we’ve discussed using the block editor on individual pages and posts, but the WordPress 5.9 update has also brought the Gutenberg experience to the theme appearance editor. It makes it easy to apply changes to the same blocks on the entire site. This feature is called site editor.

Access the Gutenberg WordPress theme editor by navigating to Appearance → Editor from the dashboard. The editor presents options to customize the following:

• Navigation. Make menu changes by including elements like custom links and a site logo.
• Styles. Choose an available style variation from the theme and change the color palettes, typography, and layout across the whole website.
• Pages. Modify page content directly via the site editor – no need to switch to a different interface.
• Templates. Customize the default layouts for web pages on your site, such as the blog homepage or a single post. Depending on the block theme, the template editor may have more layout options.
• Patterns. This is an area where you can manage synced patterns.
