An overview of FSE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Full Site Editing (FSE) is a comprehensive feature introduced with WordPress 5.9. It encompasses various tools that facilitate an easier design process for site owners. These include the Site Editor, which works similarly to the Block Editor<\/a> (also known as the Gutenberg Editor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Site Editor, you can build and customize layouts with blocks. You can also edit and create templates and make design changes to your theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 The idea of FSE is to enable site owners to customize every area of their websites from the same place. This feature also introduces new blocks and customization options, minimizing the need for third-party plugins or additional code.<\/p>\n\n\n

The advantages of Full Site Editing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Full Site Editing can help speed up your design process. You can customize different elements of your site, including your header, typography<\/a>, and page templates, all from the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This setup means you won’t need to switch between the Customizer<\/a> and the Site Editor to make changes to your website. Additionally, given the number of customization options available, you might no longer need to add custom code to your theme files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 With FSE, you can fully customize your site using blocks. You can also apply global changes across your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, you can customize the styling of a button and apply those changes to all buttons on your site. This way, you won’t have to edit the elements individually. Overall, FSE can accelerate and simplify your website design process.<\/p>\n\n\n

    It’s important to note that FSE only works with block-based themes<\/a>. This means that you might need to change your current theme to access the new editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Even though FSE is a fairly new feature, there are hundreds of block themes to choose from. For this tutorial, we’ll be using our very own block-based theme, Raft<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n
