WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg

[Lynngre]

WordPress will be releasing Gutenberg WP 5.0 later this year, with an option to keep the current interface. We need to ensure that the current Page Builder we use and any coding on the Base theme compatible and that users receive training in the changed backend.

Currently Gutenberg plugin only works for Posts.

Siteorigin page builder is compatible with the Gutenberg. We might have to eventually update all the Custom post type to support the Gutenberg editor.

Siteorigin page builder by default installs the classic editor. So far their compatibility with Gutenberg is not visible. But there has been no performance issues with the classic editor either. Right now working with Gutenberg seems like an unsure plan.
