Full Site Editing (FSE) in WordPress

With its trending features helping many entrepreneurs establish their websites and give their businesses a rigid sole purpose, WordPress is now a full-fledged content management system that powers around 43% of the web.

Continuing with many user-friendly updates every year, WordPress now makes the content management process easier and hassle-free.

To put it in simple terms, Full Site Editing (FSE) is a collection of WordPress features compiled to create and edit your website using blocks.

Before the update of FSE, one could use blocks in the content area and post only in the area of WordPress pages, but now FSE allows the use of blocks beyond the content area and offers numerous customization options.

What are the features offered by FSE in WordPress?

  • Site Editor

Since there were limitations on themes and the usage of blocks in the content section, FSE broke those limitations and replaced the customizer, widgets, and menu. Before, the users only had access to add the site logo, header, footer, and more, but now they can edit every part of your website using blocks.

Other than blocks, users can also get pre-designed patterns that can be added to their pages, as it is more time-consuming and one would not have to start from scratch.

  • Global Styles

With the help of this feature, users can control the display features of the website’s background, like colors, typography, block color, and layout dimensions, and can even customize colors by creating their own color palette.

These changes can be made to the style of specific blocks that are automatically applied throughout the whole site, letting the users enjoy the advantage of changing their site’s look at any time.

  • Block-Based Theme

This feature is a new type of WordPress theme with templates that are built entirely using blocks; one can enjoy this feature only if they have a block-based theme installed.

It provides flexibility and more control over customization, and with the help of FSE, users can now easily create custom websites.

  • Template editor

FSE lets one create a new template for WordPress pages and posts by providing a template editor that offers a blank canvas to create customized pages using blocks that are controlled by you.

One can also include multiple header, footer, and layouts as part of the template and later customize or edit them, or simply insert any template parts that follow up with other content blocks.
