If you use WordPress, you’re probably already familiar with themes. These design elements form the basis of your website’s appearance and general styling. Since WordPress 5.9, you can also take advantage of WordPress block themes. However, you might be wondering how this feature works<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

With a WordPress block theme, your website’s entire design is made up of blocks. This layout includes both content and non-content areas on your site, such as headers and footers. Therefore, using a block theme lets you edit your site’s appearance without touching the Customizer or the theme’s files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\ude0e In today’s guide, we’ll explore what a WordPress block theme is<\/a> and show you some key examples<\/a>. We’ll then explain how to use and edit a block theme<\/a> to fit your design needs. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t

What is a WordPress block theme?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A WordPress block theme is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a theme made up of blocks. Every part of your page is adjustable and movable, including non-content elements such as headers, footers, menus, logos, and titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Block themes are one part of WordPress Full Site Editing (FSE). This concept was brought into the core software with WordPress 5.9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With FSE, you can access a new Site Editor that enables you to build block layouts and edit them to fit your needs. Additionally, you can use global styles to make sweeping design changes to your theme and overall website appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 Overall, block themes and FSE can speed up your design process and help you customize your website on a granular level. You can design the site you want without dipping into your theme’s files or playing around with custom CSS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
