This month, Lauren Pittenger will be speaking about the differences between classic themes and block themes. From Lauren: “In this presentation, we’ll explore WordPress Block Themes, which offer a modern approach to theme development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, in contrast to the traditional Classic Themes that rely on PHP templates. Block themes enable full site editing (FSE), allowing users to design entire websites with blocks for both content and structure, all within the WordPress editor. This makes them more flexible, customizable, and easier to extend compared to classic themes, which are limited to predefined template files.”
