Full-Site Editing Coming to WordPress

Invouq 'IQ' logo device
The new full-site editor feature makes it easier for users to create and customize their WordPress sites.

The upcoming WordPress 6.2 version, expected to release on March 28th, will feature the long-awaited release of the new full-site editor feature.  Work on the full-site editor started 12 major releases ago!

This editor’s key component is that everything you place on a webpage will be a “block.” A WordPress block is a modular unit of content. Each block represents a specific type of content, such as a paragraph of text, an image, a video, a list, or a quote. 

Blocks can be added, rearranged, and customized within the WordPress editor to create a customized layout for your content.

Mostly transparent blocks covered in imagined computer code

WordPress blocks are part of the Gutenberg editor, a visual page builder introduced in WordPress 5.0. With the Gutenberg editor, you can create complex layouts and designs without needing to know HTML or CSS. Instead, you can use a drag-and-drop interface to add and arrange blocks, adjust settings, and preview your content in real time. This makes it easier for users to create and customize their WordPress sites with rich media and dynamic content.

If you use a block-enabled theme, you can customize every part of your site using blocks, which gives you full, code-free customization without needing to install a page builder plugin.

The Site Editor simplifies the WordPress admin area by letting you preview and edit your site design using different templates and blocks. The Template Editor is a special mode in the Site Editor that lets you create and edit custom templates for your website’s posts and pages. 

Block Patterns are pre-designed groups of blocks that can be added to your pages or posts with just one click. Block Themes are collections of block patterns that work together to create a cohesive design for your site. Theme Blocks are pre-designed blocks that can be used as building blocks for your site’s design. Global Styles allow you to set styles for your entire site at once, including typography, colors, and more.

This transformational change may cause many folks to transition away from page builders like Elementor, Brizy, Beaver Builder, and others.

I expect that it will take a few more major releases of WordPress for full-site editing to become a solid experience.  For relatively simple sites, though, this looks pretty much ready to go.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information (Personal Data)

Certain visitors to our websites choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather Personal Data. The amount and type of information that we gather depend on the nature of the interaction.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze the use of our Service. Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We use the Universal Analytics version of Google Analytics and IP addresses are automatically anonymized under our configuration. Your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for us. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

We use Google Analytics’ enhanced reporting feature. This feature measures page views, scrolls, outbound clicks, site search, video engagement, and file downloads. This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual person.

Google Analytics will collect visitation information and associate it with Google information from accounts of signed-in users who have consented to this association for the purpose of ads personalization. This Google information may include end user location, search history, YouTube history, and data from sites that partner with Google—and is used to provide aggregated and anonymized insights into our users’ cross device behaviors.  You can control and edit the data Google captures about your activity here.

We use Google Analytics’ demographic features. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ads settings in your Google account or you can forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described above.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our website. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place. We have a legitimate interest in protecting our site from abusive automated crawling and spam. For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please visit the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html.

When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information. The payment processors we work with are:
