What is Gutenberg?
So WordPress 5.0 came with a bang and lots of things changed including the major change - the new Gutenberg editor, that uses a block structure in order to create media-rich content with as little technical knowledge as possible. It is designed to ease the building process.
Gutenberg features a “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWIG) approach. As you modify the page, you edit as if you were editing in place.
This changed the way WordPress sites are made quite a lot as well as caused some compatibility issues as not all plugins and themes are well compatible with the new editor.
So here is our list of top 10 WordPress free and premium themes that are compatible with Gutenberg.
