A WordPress block theme is a type of theme designed to work with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). These themes leverage the full site editing capabilities of WordPress, allowing users to create and customize their site using blocks.
Key features of a block theme include:
Block-based Structure: Content and site layout are created using blocks, providing a more modular and flexible design approach.
Full Site Editing: Users can edit not just the content within posts and pages, but also headers, footers, sidebars, and other template parts directly from the WordPress editor.
Global Styles: Customizable design options that apply site-wide, allowing for consistent typography, colors, and spacing.
Template Editing: Users can create and modify templates and template parts, such as headers and footers, using the block editor.
