Gutenberg isn\u2019t new, but when this massive change to WordPress was dropped, a lot of bloggers chose to ignore it rather than adapt.\n\n<!--more-->\n\nI get it. As someone who has been blogging since 2006, I know that change is hard. Remember when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/pinterest-mistakes\/\">Pinterest<\/a> used to be fun, or before we even started thinking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavines-seo-resources\/\">SEO<\/a>?\n\nHowever, as bloggers, being flexible and adapting to an ever-changing landscape is part of the job requirement.&nbsp;\n\nThankfully, the switch to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wordpress-gutenberg-tutorial\/\">WordPress Gutenberg<\/a> is much easier than you may have been fearing.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Copy-of-2020-Pin-Templates-4.jpg\" alt=\"Mediavine Pinterest image - WordPress Gutenberg: Why should you make the switch?\" width=\"735\" height=\"1103\" data-pin-title=\"Should you make the switch to WordPress Gutenberg?\" data-pin-description=\"Have you been wondering whether or not to make the switch to WordPress Gutenberg? Thankfully, the switch is much easier than you may think. Learn all about it in this post!\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Copy-of-2020-Pin-Templates-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Copy-of-2020-Pin-Templates-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Copy-of-2020-Pin-Templates-4-307x460.jpg 307w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Copy-of-2020-Pin-Templates-4-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\n<h2>Gutenberg is a Visual Editor<\/h2>\nIf you create posts using the Classic Editor Visual screen, the new Gutenberg blocks are very similar. While you can just start writing in Classic, Gutenberg automatically splits everything into blocks.&nbsp;\n\nWhen adding new blocks, you can choose from a selection of icons that help you pick the correct content, from images to headings to recipe cards. Everything is very clearly labeled and organized, making it much easier to find elements than in Classic.\n\nYou might also notice new-to-you tools such as pull quotes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/building-an-instagram-tips\/\">Instagram<\/a> embeds or tables that only need the click of a button.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17216 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Blocks.png\" alt=\"types of Gutenberg blocks\" width=\"800\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Blocks.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Blocks-441x221.png 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Blocks-768x385.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Blocks-735x368.png 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n<h2>Gutenberg Has Awesome Features<\/h2>\nThe power of the Gutenberg blocks allows you to customize your content easily without needing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/so-you-want-to-learn-to-code\/\">know lots of code<\/a>.&nbsp;\n\nBlocks are great because it makes it very easy to move chunks of text or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/how-many-images-should-you-use-in-a-post\/\">images<\/a> around in your&nbsp; post. You can also make special reusable blocks for things like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/make-the-most-out-of-your-newsletter\/\">mailing list sign-ups<\/a> or an e-book promo with clickable buttons.\n\nAs you edit blocks, you\u2019ll see block-specific editing options in the right sidebar so you can easily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/six-ways-to-make-your-website-more-accessible\/\">update image alternative text for accessibility<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/increase-font-size-and-increase-seo-rpm-along-with-it\/\">font size<\/a> or colors.\n\nIn addition to word count, Gutenberg now also shows you a post outline, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/shorter-sentences-and-paragraphs-for-larger-rpms\/\">paragraph<\/a> count, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/improve-rpm-and-seo-with-headings\/\">heading<\/a> count and block count.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17215 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Document-Outline.png\" alt=\"Post outline in gutenberg\" width=\"800\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Document-Outline.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Document-Outline-438x300.png 438w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Document-Outline-672x460.png 672w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Document-Outline-768x526.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Document-Outline-735x503.png 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n<h2>Classic Editor Won\u2019t Be Supported Forever<\/h2>\nWhile the Classic Editor is currently still supported by WordPress, it won\u2019t be forever. WordPress has stated that the Classic Editor plugin will be supported through December 31, 2021.\n\nAlthough that seems like a long way off, Gutenberg has already been out for more than a year and we\u2019re in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/iab-releases-covid-19-advertising-impact-report\/\">Q2 of 2020<\/a>!\n\nYou\u2019ll still be able to use the Classic Editor plugin after WordPress stops supporting it. However, unsupported plugins become vulnerable to outside attacks, leaving your site at risk. We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/how-to-do-a-plugin-self-audit\/\">doing a plugin audit<\/a> often to prevent any issues that could arise from an out of date or unsupported plugin.\n<h2>Do I Have to Convert All My Posts to Gutenberg?<\/h2>\nFortunately for bloggers without a lot of time on their hands (AKA all of us) you don\u2019t need to go back and convert all of your old posts to Gutenberg.\n\nWhen you open a post in WordPress that was created before Gutenberg, it will show the post in Classic format. The post text, headings, images and any other items like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/creative-ways-to-use-create\/\">recipe cards<\/a> will show in one block, just as they did before Gutenberg.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17214 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Convert-to-Blocks.png\" alt=\"recipe cards in gutenberg\" width=\"800\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Convert-to-Blocks.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Convert-to-Blocks-441x213.png 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Convert-to-Blocks-768x372.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Convert-to-Blocks-735x356.png 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n\nFrom there you can either edit the post as it is, or choose &#8220;Convert to Blocks&#8221; from the options menu in the block header. If you are not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/backlinks-inbound-links-seo\/\">updating your post<\/a> in any other way, it\u2019s probably not worth your time to convert to blocks.\n\nHowever, if you need to update photos, improve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-seo-introducing-the-mediavine-search-engine-optimization-series\/\">SEO<\/a> or convert recipe cards, this is the perfect time to convert the post to Gutenberg blocks. (If you\u2019re converting to Create, read our how-to on <a href=\"https:\/\/help.mediavine.com\/en\/articles\/2775062-importing-recipes-through-gutenberg\">importing to Create through Gutenberg<\/a>.)\n<h2>Is Gutenberg Going to Mess Up My Old Posts?<\/h2>\nIn short, it <i>shouldn\u2019t.<\/i> This is why converting posts one by one is great \u2014 you\u2019ll be easily able to catch any mistakes that pop up from a conversion, instead of being notified by a reader that happens to find your post from 2015.\n\nIf you\u2019re using custom codes or shortcodes within your posts, it is recommended to convert those as well.\n\nNote that when updating to new versions of any website element, from themes to WordPress itself, things can go wrong. If you notice issues after updating, reach out to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/selecting-a-host\/\">hosting provider<\/a> to revert your site to the previous version. And always take backups before updating!\n<h2>Am I Going to Have to Change My Post Creation Process?<\/h2>\nGutenberg actually makes the post creation process easier thanks to the way blocks are set up. If you are like me and prefer to write your entire post all at once and then go back and add the H2s, photos and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/optimizing-your-most-valuable-content\/\">content card<\/a>, Gutenberg makes this easy!\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17213 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Block-Addition.png\" alt=\"change a post in gutenberg\" width=\"800\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Block-Addition.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Block-Addition-441x164.png 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Block-Addition-768x285.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Gutenberg-Block-Addition-735x273.png 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n\nBetween each paragraph block there is a \u201cplus\u201d icon to add new blocks, which gives you all the options you might need. Also, because you can drag and drop blocks into place, shifting images or content cards is incredibly easy.&nbsp;\n\nIt\u2019s true that there will be a learning curve, but now that I am familiar with Gutenberg, I\u2019m finding it to be much more efficient for post creation than Classic.&nbsp;\n<h2>Are My Plugins Compatible with Gutenberg?<\/h2>\nEach plugin notes the latest release of WordPress to which it is compatible. As long as the plugins you\u2019re using are noted for WordPress 5.0 and above, they should work with your site.\n\nThis goes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/ad-friendly-website-redesign\/\">themes<\/a> or frameworks such as Genesis as well. Be sure to reach out to your theme developer if you have concerns (and always back up your site before updating!).\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17212 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Plugin-Update-Versions.png\" alt=\"screenshot plugin update data\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Plugin-Update-Versions.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Plugin-Update-Versions-441x238.png 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Plugin-Update-Versions-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Plugin-Update-Versions-735x397.png 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\n\nMediavine\u2019s own plugins Create and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/social-pug-is-now-grow-mediavines-new-social-sharing-buttons-marketplace-more\/\">Grow<\/a>, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/introducing-trellis\/\">our framework Trellis<\/a>, are frequently updated to be compatible with the latest WordPress releases.\n\nGive yourself some time to learn Gutenberg, but don\u2019t fret. Test it out by converting an older post with less <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/3-action-items-that-will-get-you-massive-traffic\/\">traffic<\/a>, or play around with a brand-new post.
