The Plus Addons for Gutenberg is adding dynamic data to their blocksĪnd Full Site Editing and block-based themes aren’t the only option.Some block plugins will be adding support for dynamic data so they can be used in Full Site Editing: While options are limited now, these are early days and soon the number of available options will balloon. They are interested or even excited about the prospect of Full Site Editing. Some people are ready to switch to Gutenberg but still need their page builder to create content templates. Otherwise, we need to wait until WordPress 5.9 ships with Full Site Editing.

So if you need to get started today, that would be the best choice. The new comer, Cwicly, is the only one with support for Gutenberg the plugin. None of these four options support the plugin version of Gutenberg. Toolset has an extensive set of blocks supporting dynamic data.

Pods and Kadence Blocks Pro currently have some of blocks you would need, but not all. Stackable Pro has dynamic data options for many of their blocks. Therefore, you are going to need a third party blocks plugin that supports the display of custom fields. WordPress core has never had a way to display custom fields without using PHP and there is no reason to suppose that will change. If you checkout the core blocks that come with WordPress you will notice that there aren’t any that support custom fields.

Currently you need the plugin version to have all of the needed blocks and features for Full Site Editing. There is Gutenberg that is included in core and there is Gutenberg the plugin. However, 5.8 doesn’t have all of the blocks, nor all of the features of Full Site Editing, which is in an in-between place. For example, it includes blocks for the post title, post content, post excerpt, post date, and featured image, among others. WordPress 5.8 comes with a number of placeholder blocks for the components of a standard post. Next you are going to need placeholder blocks for building the standard features of a post or page. There are a number of block-based themes available in the WordPress theme directory, but at the moment the core theme is the most advanced and refined in relation to Full Site Editing. Besides being a block-based theme, Twenty Twenty-Two is shaping up to be the nicest looking core theme ever released. Until then you can download it from GitHub. WordPress 5.9, which will ship in January, will include the Twenty Twenty-Two theme, which will be the first block-based theme included in core. Block-Based ThemesĬreating templates using Full Site Editing requires a block-based theme. You will be able to use Gutenberg, but Gutenberg by itself is not going to be sufficient. The big deal with Full Site Editing is that the ability to create templates for Custom Post Types is being built into WordPress core.

You could code them yourself using PHP, or you could use the theme building features of premium page builders.

Before Full Site Editing there were two ways to create templates for the single and archive display. WordPress supports custom fields and Custom Post Types but doesn’t have a built in way to display them. Note that Toolset has its own Gutenberg solution that doesn’t involve Full Site Editing, but I don’t know of any reason why it couldn’t be used. Meta Box, Pods, and Toolset come with the ability to create both Custom Post Types and custom fields. Unless you need advanced custom field types, the free version of ACF might be sufficient. ACF has a free version and a premium version. There are four popular tools available:ĪCF is only for creating custom fields, so it is often paired with the free CPT-UI plugin. This is the same whether you are using a page builder or Full Site Editing. So the first requirement is that you will need plugins for creating Custom Post Types and custom fields. WordPress also supports custom fields, but the default interface only supports simple text-based fields. WordPress core supports Custom Post Types but there is no user interface for creating them.
