30+ WordPress Gutenberg Themes 2021

WordPress Gutenberg Themes. Gutenberg, the a relatively new WordPress editor it was announced as the whole new way one can create content with WordPress. It’s built for media-rich pages and posts.

Gutenberg delivers lots of content blocks and provides flexibility, simplicity, and enjoyable user experience. Of course, it called a lot of discussions, got its fans and haters (for sure). To understand what this editor really is, let’s have a look at the real essence of this being, at its major pros and cons, and finally, we’ll learn if there are any plugins or extensions worth the play.
Let’s start!

Guten….What?

This editor is named after Johannes Gutenberg, the person who started printing revolution in Europe around 500 years ago. He invented the first mechanical printing machine and thus made information accessible to masses.

Similarly, WordPress decided to make the advanced layouts accessible to the average users. The idea was to make this CMS a simple platform to use.

Gutenberg. The Simplicity Is

From the very beginning, the work with WordPress required the knowledge of HTML or CSS. It was ok for developers, but not for average users. The new times brought the increased popularity for content block style of writing.

WordPress reacted to these changes with the launch of different visual editors like Elementor, Beaver Builder, and some others. Today the new generation of editors replace the previous ones, and WordPress introduces the Gutenberg with a block concept at its core.

Block Concept

From now, no  HTML or CSS is required to get two blocks of content side-by-side. Gutenberg WordPress plugin makes complex layouts a lot more accessible to an average user. The magic is made by blocks that are the fundamental elements of the Gutenberg editor. They are really a great new tool for building a content. Thanks to these blocks, you can insert, rearrange, and style the content even with no technical knowledge.

Just imagine that to get the desired layout you have to click “align left”, “align right”, or insert a pre-made block with up to 4 side-by-side columns. And that’s all! No HTML or a CSS headache at all, just moving blocks up and down the document. As the WordPress defines, the main goal of Gutenberg editor is to create a post/page building experience aimed at seamless generating of rich post layouts.

Main points

• Blocks everywhere.  Text, images, galleries, widgets, shortcodes are seen as block in WordPress Gutenberg. Consequently, you can work with this multimedia as you work with blocks.
• Equivalence. All blocks are created equal for the ease of use.
• Placeholders. Their usage predefined editable layouts. Image and text placeholders save you time and point out places where you havу to fill in the blanks.
• Direct manipulation. It can be done directly on the page. Gutenberg offers users a WYSIWYG environment for creating on the web.
• Customization. From now it’s easy and intuitive. A developer determines a specific portion of the layout which every block renders, and what type of changes a user can perform. It means that an end-user will be able to edit the layout as he needs without fearing that he can break the whole system.

Gutenberg documentation gives a detailed description of how to use its blocks. To find its coding guidelines, testing overview or read some frequently asked questions, a user just needs to visit its official site.

Along with a block concept Gutenberg builder pays attention to “mystery meat”, and there is nothing mysterious in this term. Hard-to-find features that are hidden from the user are called mysterious meat, and Gutenberg makes them more discoverable. The editor already supports a large number of blocks and 34 embeds all of which are easily available. It means that embedding external content is easier.

What you need, is just to enter the URL you want to embed, and the editor will do the rest. Using specific options for adding:

• YouTube videos;
• Tweets;
• Reddit posts;
• Spotify links;
• etc.

All these manipulations are done it in a hassle free way. As you know, this process usually requires a plugin or generating specific embed code on the website you’re embedding, and Gutenberg simplifies everything.

Installation

Now let’s have a look at the pros and cons of this page builder.

Pros / Cons

Pros	Cons
Ease of use. The main idea of Gutenberg is to streamline the writing process and facilitate the creation of layout.	Beta version. Since it’s beta software, it’s not ready for production websites. It can cause certain problems, that’s why it’s wise to try it on a test site at first.
Visual part. It left behind HTML / CSS and becamу a visual editor where content is seen as blocks.	Poor reviews. The overall rating is poor – 2.3 out of 5.
No HTML / CSS. As it was already mentioned, it’s the huge breakthrough in the direction of seamless content editing. Building even complex layouts with little knowledge is cool.	Bugs. Here are some of them: no support for responsive columns. Hopefully, it’s a temporary problem, ‘cause more features are added to it on a daily basis. partial support for meta boxes.  Hiding page titles, unique options for each page are not available for today.
Quick embedding. Gutenberg supports content embedding from 34 websites.	Not for beginners. Some people complain that the work with it can cause some problems, especially when the user hasn’t worked with a page builder before.
Clean design. Gutenberg doesn’t mislead and shows relevant tools at the right time you need to use them.	Accessibility. It’s a main concern of developers, ‘cause Gutenberg APIs are still under development phase.
Mobile friendly. Functionality and work are now supported on various mobile devices.	Big question. WordPress supports tons of various plugins. Will all of them work properly with Gutenberg?
