In our previous blog, we gave you an insight in to the changes WordPress 5.0 will bring.

What are Blocks?
Blocks are advanced short codes introduced in the Gutenberg editor of WordPress 5.0. When you will write a content, you can use these blocks as basic components to create your page or blog. These basic components can be images, videos, buttons, audio etc. For every type of content you write you can choose the related block type. Stackable Gutenberg Plugin has some versatile and ultimate blocks to create front and landing pages.
You can add a Plugin to your website to get the best collection of blocks. A plugin as we know is a software with a group of functions that can be added to WordPress website. It allows to add specific features to one’s website and widens its functionality. Stackable Gutenberg Plugin is one such Plugin that has some versatile and ultimate blocks to create front and landing pages.
