=== Gutenberg === Contributors: matveb, joen, karmatosed Tested up to: 6.1 Stable tag: 15.6.2 License: GPLv2 or later License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html The Gutenberg plugin provides editing, customization, and site building features to WordPress. This beta plugin allows you to test bleeding-edge features before they land in future WordPress releases. == Description == “Gutenberg” is a codename for a whole new paradigm for creating with WordPress, that aims to revolutionize the entire publishing experience as much as Johannes Gutenberg did the printed word. The project is following a four-phase process that will touch major pieces of WordPress — Editing, Customization, Collaboration, and Multilingual. Following the introduction of post block editing in December 2018, Gutenberg later introduced full site editing (FSE) in 2021, which shipped with WordPress 5.9 in early 2022. ### What Does Gutenberg Do? Gutenberg is WordPress's “block editor”, and introduces a modular approach to modifying your entire site. Edit individual content blocks on posts or pages. Add and adjust widgets. Even design your site headers, footers, and navigation with full site editing support. Each piece of content in the editor, from a paragraph to an image gallery to a headline, is its own block. And just like physical blocks, WordPress blocks can be added, arranged, and rearranged, allowing users to create media-rich content and site layouts in a visually intuitive way — and without workarounds like shortcodes or custom HTML and PHP. We’re always hard at work refining the experience, creating more and better blocks, and laying the groundwork for future phases of work. Each WordPress release includes stable features from the Gutenberg plugin, so you don’t need to install the plugin to benefit from the work being done here. ### Early Access Are you a tech-savvy early adopter who likes testing bleeding-edge and experimental features, and isn’t afraid to tinker with features that are still in active development? If so, this beta plugin gives you access to the latest Gutenberg features for block and full site editing, as well as a peek into what’s to come. ### Contributors Wanted For the adventurous and tech-savvy, the Gutenberg plugin gives you the latest and greatest feature set, so you can join us in testing and developing bleeding-edge features, playing around with blocks, and maybe get inspired to contribute or build your own blocks. ### Discover More - **User Documentation:** Review the WordPress Editor documentation for detailed instructions on using the editor as an author to create posts, pages, and more. - **Developer Documentation:** Explore the Developer Documentation for extensive tutorials, documentation, and API references on how to extend the editor. - **Contributors:** Gutenberg is an open-source project and welcomes all contributors from code to design, from documentation to triage.

Before submitting a new issue, please search the existing issues to check if someone else has reported the same feedback. While we try to triage issues reported here on the plugin forum, you’ll get a faster response (and reduce duplication of effort) by keeping feedback centralized in GitHub. = Where can I report security bugs? = The Gutenberg team and WordPress community take security bugs seriously. We appreciate your efforts to responsibly disclose your findings, and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions. To report a security issue, please visit the [WordPress HackerOne](https://hackerone.com/wordpress) program. = Do I have to use the Gutenberg plugin to get access to these features? = Not necessarily. Each version of WordPress after 5.0 has included features from the Gutenberg plugin, which are known collectively as the WordPress Editor. You are likely already benefitting from stable features! But if you want cutting edge beta features, including more experimental items, you will need to use the plugin. You can read more here to help decide whether the plugin is right for you. = Where can I see which Gutenberg plugin versions are included in each WordPress release? = View the Versions in WordPress document to get a table showing which Gutenberg plugin version is included in each WordPress release. = What’s next for the project? = The four phases of the project are Editing, Customization, Collaboration, and Multilingual.
