I got a challenge to convert a WordPress Website I made with a custom theme over
6 yearsago. However, in the “short span of years”, WordPress has integrated the block editor aka Gutenberg into core; and the client is enjoying editing the posts where the block experience is enabled. However, the other website parts are using the classic editor.
I have since started the challenge and you can follow along with me in the journey to transform your Classic Theme into a sleek and modern Blocks Theme with this step-by-step video guide!
First, we’ll take a look at the old ways of styling, such as
