In a January 26, 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/2022\/01\/26\/preliminary-roadmap-for-6-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post<\/a>, Mat\u00edas Ventura, an engineer and designer who was the lead architect of the Gutenberg block editor for WordPress and co-designer of the Twenty Eleven default theme, laid out a preliminary, high-level roadmap for the next steps and general scope for the new release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe overall aim is to consolidate and expand the set of customization tools introduced in 5.9 for creating themes with blocks, with a special focus towards usability and refinement,\u201d Ventura said. \u201cThis new release could be considered a conceptual wrap for Gutenberg: Phase 2. This doesn\u2019t mean the customization phase would be concluded with it, but that its main features would have been established.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who aren\u2019t aware, Gutenberg is the name given to the controversial yet revolutionary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/most-exciting-features-gutenberg-wordpress-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">block editor<\/a> that was introduced alongside the release of WordPress 5.0 in December 2018. The Gutenberg project\u2019s goal is to help even the most novice, non-developer users easily create and manipulate content in a way that WordPress\u2019 previous editor could not. Gutenberg allows for building and editing impressive, media-rich pages using movable block elements such as paragraphs, images, lists, galleries, videos, audio, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"article-newsletter article-newsletter--gradient\">\n\n\n<h2>Get Content Delivered Straight to Your Inbox<\/h2><p>Subscribe now to receive all the latest updates, delivered directly to your inbox.<\/p><form class=\"nwsl-form\" id=\"newsletter_block_\" novalidate><div class=\"messages\"><\/div><div class=\"form-group\"><label for=\"input_newsletter_block_\"><input type=\"email\"name=\"email\"id=\"input_newsletter_block_\"placeholder=\"Enter your email address\"novalidatedisabled=\"disabled\"\/><\/label><button type=\"submit\"class=\"btn btn--brand\"disabled=\"disabled\"><span>Sign Me Up!<\/span><svg width=\"21\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 21 14\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M13.8523 0.42524L12.9323 1.34521C12.7095 1.56801 12.7132 1.9304 12.9404 2.14865L16.7241 5.7823H0.5625C0.251859 5.7823 0 6.03416 0 6.3448V7.6573C0 7.96794 0.251859 8.2198 0.5625 8.2198H16.7241L12.9405 11.8535C12.7132 12.0717 12.7095 12.4341 12.9323 12.6569L13.8523 13.5769C14.072 13.7965 14.4281 13.7965 14.6478 13.5769L20.8259 7.39879C21.0456 7.17913 21.0456 6.82298 20.8259 6.60327L14.6477 0.42524C14.4281 0.205584 14.0719 0.205584 13.8523 0.42524Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/button><\/div><\/form><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"498\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0.png\" alt=\"WordPress 6.0 - the Gutenberg Editor\" class=\"wp-image-33292 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0.png.webp 750w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0-600x398.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0-730x485.png.webp 730w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/498;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Gutenberg editor has three main components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Content:<\/b> The content takes up most of the screen.

They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Easier Editing:<\/b> Block-based content editing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Customization:<\/b> FSE, block patterns, block directory, block themes, and global styles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Collaboration:<\/b> Co-authoring content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Multilingual:<\/b> Implementation of multilingual sites.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As it stands, the Gutenberg project is currently working through Phase 2, Customization. And while work on Phase 2 won\u2019t be over anytime soon, after WordPress 6.0 ships the talk is that the team may start work on Phase 3, Collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-more-customization-on-the-way\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>More Customization On the Way<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The future looks bright and is full of possibilities when it comes to what these and further updates will offer WordPress users, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/author\/jasoncosper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Cosper<\/a>, the WordPress Product Advocate on the DreamPress team here at DreamHost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“With Full Site Editing officially being released in WordPress 5.9, WordPress 6.0 looks to offer further refinements and improvements to the core site editing experience,\u201d Cosper said. \u201c6.0 means that WordPress users will move ever closer to not even needing one of the popular page building plugins like Elementor, Beaver Builder, or Divi.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single__related-article\">\n\t<span>Related Article<\/span>\n\t<div class=\"single__related-article__wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single__related-article__title\">\n\t\t\tThe Current State Of Website Builders (Overview & Comparisons)\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/website-builders\/\" class=\"btn btn--sm btn--brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\tRead More\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-wordpress-6-0-release-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>WordPress 6.0 Release Schedule<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a look at the timeline below for the planned schedule for the development and eventual rollout of WordPress 6.0.

In a January 26, 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/2022\/01\/26\/preliminary-roadmap-for-6-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post<\/a>, Mat\u00edas Ventura, an engineer and designer who was the lead architect of the Gutenberg block editor for WordPress and co-designer of the Twenty Eleven default theme, laid out a preliminary, high-level roadmap for the next steps and general scope for the new release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe overall aim is to consolidate and expand the set of customization tools introduced in 5.9 for creating themes with blocks, with a special focus towards usability and refinement,\u201d Ventura said. \u201cThis new release could be considered a conceptual wrap for Gutenberg: Phase 2. This doesn\u2019t mean the customization phase would be concluded with it, but that its main features would have been established.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who aren\u2019t aware, Gutenberg is the name given to the controversial yet revolutionary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/most-exciting-features-gutenberg-wordpress-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">block editor<\/a> that was introduced alongside the release of WordPress 5.0 in December 2018. The Gutenberg project\u2019s goal is to help even the most novice, non-developer users easily create and manipulate content in a way that WordPress\u2019 previous editor could not. Gutenberg allows for building and editing impressive, media-rich pages using movable block elements such as paragraphs, images, lists, galleries, videos, audio, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"article-newsletter article-newsletter--gradient\">\n\n\n<h2>Get Content Delivered Straight to Your Inbox<\/h2><p>Subscribe now to receive all the latest updates, delivered directly to your inbox.<\/p><form class=\"nwsl-form\" id=\"newsletter_block_\" novalidate><div class=\"messages\"><\/div><div class=\"form-group\"><label for=\"input_newsletter_block_\"><input type=\"email\"name=\"email\"id=\"input_newsletter_block_\"placeholder=\"Enter your email address\"novalidatedisabled=\"disabled\"\/><\/label><button type=\"submit\"class=\"btn btn--brand\"disabled=\"disabled\"><span>Sign Me Up!<\/span><svg width=\"21\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 21 14\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M13.8523 0.42524L12.9323 1.34521C12.7095 1.56801 12.7132 1.9304 12.9404 2.14865L16.7241 5.7823H0.5625C0.251859 5.7823 0 6.03416 0 6.3448V7.6573C0 7.96794 0.251859 8.2198 0.5625 8.2198H16.7241L12.9405 11.8535C12.7132 12.0717 12.7095 12.4341 12.9323 12.6569L13.8523 13.5769C14.072 13.7965 14.4281 13.7965 14.6478 13.5769L20.8259 7.39879C21.0456 7.17913 21.0456 6.82298 20.8259 6.60327L14.6477 0.42524C14.4281 0.205584 14.0719 0.205584 13.8523 0.42524Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/button><\/div><\/form><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"498\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0.png\" alt=\"WordPress 6.0 - the Gutenberg Editor\" class=\"wp-image-33292 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0.png.webp 750w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0-600x398.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0-730x485.png.webp 730w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/498;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Gutenberg editor has three main components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Content:<\/b> The content takes up most of the screen.

They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Easier Editing:<\/b> Block-based content editing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Customization:<\/b> FSE, block patterns, block directory, block themes, and global styles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Collaboration:<\/b> Co-authoring content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Multilingual:<\/b> Implementation of multilingual sites.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As it stands, the Gutenberg project is currently working through Phase 2, Customization. And while work on Phase 2 won\u2019t be over anytime soon, after WordPress 6.0 ships the talk is that the team may start work on Phase 3, Collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-more-customization-on-the-way\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>More Customization On the Way<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The future looks bright and is full of possibilities when it comes to what these and further updates will offer WordPress users, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/author\/jasoncosper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Cosper<\/a>, the WordPress Product Advocate on the DreamPress team here at DreamHost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“With Full Site Editing officially being released in WordPress 5.9, WordPress 6.0 looks to offer further refinements and improvements to the core site editing experience,\u201d Cosper said. \u201c6.0 means that WordPress users will move ever closer to not even needing one of the popular page building plugins like Elementor, Beaver Builder, or Divi.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single__related-article\">\n\t<span>Related Article<\/span>\n\t<div class=\"single__related-article__wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single__related-article__title\">\n\t\t\tThe Current State Of Website Builders (Overview & Comparisons)\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/website-builders\/\" class=\"btn btn--sm btn--brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\tRead More\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-wordpress-6-0-release-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>WordPress 6.0 Release Schedule<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a look at the timeline below for the planned schedule for the development and eventual rollout of WordPress 6.0.

In a January 26, 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/2022\/01\/26\/preliminary-roadmap-for-6-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post<\/a>, Mat\u00edas Ventura, an engineer and designer who was the lead architect of the Gutenberg block editor for WordPress and co-designer of the Twenty Eleven default theme, laid out a preliminary, high-level roadmap for the next steps and general scope for the new release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe overall aim is to consolidate and expand the set of customization tools introduced in 5.9 for creating themes with blocks, with a special focus towards usability and refinement,\u201d Ventura said. \u201cThis new release could be considered a conceptual wrap for Gutenberg: Phase 2. This doesn\u2019t mean the customization phase would be concluded with it, but that its main features would have been established.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who aren\u2019t aware, Gutenberg is the name given to the controversial yet revolutionary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/most-exciting-features-gutenberg-wordpress-editor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">block editor<\/a> that was introduced alongside the release of WordPress 5.0 in December 2018. The Gutenberg project\u2019s goal is to help even the most novice, non-developer users easily create and manipulate content in a way that WordPress\u2019 previous editor could not. Gutenberg allows for building and editing impressive, media-rich pages using movable block elements such as paragraphs, images, lists, galleries, videos, audio, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"article-newsletter article-newsletter--gradient\">\n\n\n<h2>Get Content Delivered Straight to Your Inbox<\/h2><p>Subscribe now to receive all the latest updates, delivered directly to your inbox.<\/p><form class=\"nwsl-form\" id=\"newsletter_block_\" novalidate><div class=\"messages\"><\/div><div class=\"form-group\"><label for=\"input_newsletter_block_\"><input type=\"email\"name=\"email\"id=\"input_newsletter_block_\"placeholder=\"Enter your email address\"novalidatedisabled=\"disabled\"\/><\/label><button type=\"submit\"class=\"btn btn--brand\"disabled=\"disabled\"><span>Sign Me Up!<\/span><svg width=\"21\" height=\"14\" viewBox=\"0 0 21 14\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M13.8523 0.42524L12.9323 1.34521C12.7095 1.56801 12.7132 1.9304 12.9404 2.14865L16.7241 5.7823H0.5625C0.251859 5.7823 0 6.03416 0 6.3448V7.6573C0 7.96794 0.251859 8.2198 0.5625 8.2198H16.7241L12.9405 11.8535C12.7132 12.0717 12.7095 12.4341 12.9323 12.6569L13.8523 13.5769C14.072 13.7965 14.4281 13.7965 14.6478 13.5769L20.8259 7.39879C21.0456 7.17913 21.0456 6.82298 20.8259 6.60327L14.6477 0.42524C14.4281 0.205584 14.0719 0.205584 13.8523 0.42524Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/button><\/div><\/form><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"498\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0.png\" alt=\"WordPress 6.0 - the Gutenberg Editor\" class=\"wp-image-33292 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0.png.webp 750w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0-600x398.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/03\/wordpress-6-0-730x485.png.webp 730w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 750px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 750\/498;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Gutenberg editor has three main components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Content:<\/b> The content takes up most of the screen.

They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Easier Editing:<\/b> Block-based content editing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Customization:<\/b> FSE, block patterns, block directory, block themes, and global styles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Collaboration:<\/b> Co-authoring content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Multilingual:<\/b> Implementation of multilingual sites.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As it stands, the Gutenberg project is currently working through Phase 2, Customization. And while work on Phase 2 won\u2019t be over anytime soon, after WordPress 6.0 ships the talk is that the team may start work on Phase 3, Collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-more-customization-on-the-way\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>More Customization On the Way<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The future looks bright and is full of possibilities when it comes to what these and further updates will offer WordPress users, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/author\/jasoncosper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Cosper<\/a>, the WordPress Product Advocate on the DreamPress team here at DreamHost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“With Full Site Editing officially being released in WordPress 5.9, WordPress 6.0 looks to offer further refinements and improvements to the core site editing experience,\u201d Cosper said. \u201c6.0 means that WordPress users will move ever closer to not even needing one of the popular page building plugins like Elementor, Beaver Builder, or Divi.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single__related-article\">\n\t<span>Related Article<\/span>\n\t<div class=\"single__related-article__wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single__related-article__title\">\n\t\t\tThe Current State Of Website Builders (Overview & Comparisons)\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www-dev.dreamhost.com\/blog\/website-builders\/\" class=\"btn btn--sm btn--brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\tRead More\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-wordpress-6-0-release-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>WordPress 6.0 Release Schedule<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a look at the timeline below for the planned schedule for the development and eventual rollout of WordPress 6.0.
