We\u2019ve designed a custom WordPress theme available exclusively to the University of Vermont faculty, students and staff. The purpose of this site is to introduce the theme and help you successfully implement the ready-made layouts, blocks, and design components so you can quickly put together a professional, on-brand, website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you check the Updates Log<\/a> as WordPress is constantly evolving and how you do things can change. For example, throughout these tutorials, we refer to the LAYOUTS icon in the top left. WordPress has moved this to the bottom of the blocks drawer. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gutenberg WordPress introduction and theme structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UVM has taken the leap to Gutenberg WordPress! There\u2019s a \u2018wee learning curve\u2019 as the approach to creating pages is completely different than it was with the older version of WordPress, but we are sure that you will love the ease and flexibility once you get over the initial hump. This theme is designed to take advantage of Gutenberg\u2019s block structure<\/a> and offers a library of re-usable layouts and components to get you started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
