This is a recording of the Palomar College Spring 2023 Flex Week workshop.

Learn about some of the often overlooked, but useful blocks that are available in the WordPress Block Editor.

This is a recording of the January 24th workshop during Spring 2023 Flex Week.

Learn how to take full advantage of the new WordPress Block Editor. This workshop will help site admins switch from the Classic Editor to the Block Editor and demonstrate how to use it when crafting pages and posts.

The WordPress Block Editor delivers a rich and flexible editing experience.  Though we’ve been using the Block Editor for a while, as of January 2023 Palomar fully adopted the Block Editor as the core WordPress editor and the legacy Classic Editor is no longer supported. Here are some resources you may want to explore:

• The WordPress and Block Editor Training Playlist in PD
  • Please see Chapters 3 and 5 for Block Editor-specific information 
• How-To Tutorial on WordPress.org
