Excellent tutorial, thank you. The inability to just add a sitewide background feels like a bit of an oversight but your trick with the cover block is next best thing.
I feel so glad that I've found this video! There are so little likes to this video for certain! I think not many people is awake to the poor design of wordpress and they are not finding the solution for fixing the framework. But that's the pain point for me, and I've spent days to find for the solution.
Those template editor fixes for the custom css are gold! That white bar at the top was driving me crazy. I'm so glad I found this tutorial. Excellent job explaining everything. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! At time of writing, your video is the only decent dive into Wordpress 6.1 out there. I haven't attempted any website work in over ten years and really wanted to start with the newest version of WP. After watching this, I have a good foundation. I look forward to watching more of your content. Vey much appreciated!
Ray, people are thirsty for more FSD tutorials! We fed up with Elementor, Divi, WP Bakery and all these bloated page builders. Please make another tutorial using 6.2 You can choose a nice looking site and replicate it using a FSE theme. Thank you!
Great tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge. Your video is concise and to the point. With no previous experience, pausing and playing this video, I managed to build my website in very little time.
Not sure if you've figured it out by now (this video is 7 months old) but the first item in the customizer that you changed, can be handled via FSE. Go to the top level, site-wide styling (black and white button in upper right corner) and go to Layouts. From there, just tweak the padding. I was pulling my hair out over this for an embarrassing amount of time before I came across a Stack Overflow question where a kind gentleman addressed the issue. I cut my teeth on old wordpress about 2 decades ago, so I'm finding my sea legs on this new stuff still. It's interesting. I both hate it and like it. Your walkthrough was interesting, I'm sure it'll be even more helpful for complete beginners.
Good find... it seems like every time I create a video, either (a) the FSE interface changes again or (b) I figure out a different way to do something and don't realize if it's a new WP feature or I completely missed it in a previous tutorial. I feel the same way. I like that it brings you a comparable page builder experience (but still lacking) vs. the big guys like Divi, Elementor, etc. It will take a bit more learning, but 10X design freedom to newbies who don't want to pay for a theme. That said, I still default to writing custom CSS because I know it well and it's a quicker fix than messing with the editor!
Great tutorial! I've been using the classic editor for a lonngggg time and finally decided to give gutenberg a try after twenty twenty three came out. This has really helped me with the basics.
Excellent tutorial. I know the intentions of the Wordpress development were good with this Full Editor but because many things are abstracted away it is often not intuitive to find what you want in order to do simple things.
Thanks for your effort. I am on version 6.4.2 and I think 'Editor' is structured very differently compared to v6.1. I couldn't adapt this tutorial to v6.4.2. This may also be bacause of me being not experienced enough.
No you're correct. They're rolling out changes to the full site editor quickly, and a lot has changed with the UI in a short time since it went from "beta" mode to full release. I just published a tutorial a few weeks ago using the Twenty Twenty-Four theme with the newest version of WordPress. Check that out! ruclips.net/video/Fi1rpYfWfYs/видео.html
Thanks for the video, all your explanations are great. I find it hard to understand the structure of the twenty twenty-three template. Also, I can not change the global color of the text. I had tried several times.
Yea there are definitely some bugs or things that must be overwritten manually via CSS at this point since it's still in beta and technically doesn't give you 100% control over CSS. I'm also still learning how the theme files on the web server operate since it's hooked into the visual builder. However the overall structure of your website is generated from the template & template part files. The specific template used depends on what WordPress page is being loaded (i.e. homepage, regular page, category page, author page, blog post, etc.
thank you for your tutorial! This was what I was looking for-a customizable plain example. However, I am stuck- My navigations will not work on my website and sometimes the footer shows up a couple times on certain pages (when I go into my dashboard, pages, and view them separately). What could I possibly be doing wrong?
It's hard to say without seeing it, but I'd check to make sure you created a new Navigation menu. When you first do, it's blank, so maybe you added menu items but they weren't saved on the template? As for the footer, from where you browse all templates, find the "Template Parts" link and open the footer from there to review the list items within it. Then from the template, make sure you're not inserting it twice. I always review the list item view to debug issues like this!
As a developer, how many Styles can a Block Theme have? As a user, can I create-add a new custom style, same way I do wtih templates, instead of modifying an existing one?
I don't think this is built into the theme (at least that I know of). There are plugins that give you copy/paste ability into the HEAD, or you could do it with your own code via functions.php file (you'd want to create a child theme first) or a DIY plugin.
I´m trying to get access to the download material. Entered my mail but got nothing, checked my spam. Try to add my mail again but not possible to add try again, any suggestions? Thanks for the tutorial.
Yea, the download link is shown below the form after you signup. If you missed that, it doesn't get sent to your email. Then once you're subscribed and you try again, it will display an error that you already signed up. If you have subscribed, reply to one of my emails, and I'll send you the link.
I would like to see how you in detail set up a theme and most important. how to make the blog and how to put text into the post. how to insert text in the blog post. I can't find any 2023 videos that show this. I get stuck in the front page editing. Note I'm not technical and I must see how its done to learn it. and it must be slow enough to see where you click and what you do. As far as I can see there is no post text and go on teaching for beginners out there. everything I find is professionals who teach too professionals. So I am stuck in the jungle of design. I don't want a design I want to put in text. All videos I find are made in a way where the videomaker assumes you know everything from before.
I do understand your issue because I have it from the opposite side... I create tutorials for basically all WP user levels, and honestly forget what WordPress beginners might not know. However, this tutorial is specifically for custom design of your theme. Think of your posts/pages as individual pieces of content, and the template system is responsible for how they appear in the browser. Each template runs a unique set of pages or posts. If you only care about writing, just publish blog posts from the "Posts" menu on the left admin panel, like you would publish a page. All themes come setup to publish without any customization needed, but the look is "boring" to most people so they want to play around with it!
I recommend you watch this video - ruclips.net/video/K1RAaIS6akU/видео.html - which is a shorter, more general overview of WordPress and how to edit things.

You're Godsend !! I learned a lot.
Excellent tutorial. Found it really easy to follow.
Excellent tutorial. I know the intentions of the Wordpress development were good with this Full Editor but because many things are abstracted away it is often not intuitive to find what you want in order to do simple things.
Yea, there are lots of kinks to work out.
Thanks very much for the tutorial. I always was wondering what is that email 2 check box means. Now I know. very good tutorial .

why is mine not fully stretch when i view it.I tried to adjust the width but it's not working
Hi! I can’t see the pages that I added 🙈
As a developer, how many Styles can a Block Theme have?
As a user, can I create-add a new custom style, same way I do wtih templates, instead of modifying an existing one?
Good questions... I don't know too much about saving multiple styles or importing/exporting them. Will have to look further into it!
How to edit manually section in Twenty Twenty-Three Theme?
I don't think this is built into the theme (at least that I know of). There are plugins that give you copy/paste ability into the HEAD, or you could do it with your own code via functions.php file (you'd want to create a child theme first) or a DIY plugin.
So true...
Thanks
