One of the things I love about working at WebDevStudios is that we don’t hoard our knowledge like dragons. If we find a great way of doing something in WordPress, we do the best we can to find a way to get it in the hands of other developers, users, and even other agencies that want to better their workflows and processes.

To that end, spearheaded by JC Palmes, and worked on by several of our talented engineers, we released our public 1.0.0 of WDS-BT – our foray into Full-Site Editing and Gutenberg-based website development.

This theme is meant to be a core theme, not a child theme – similar to our previous theme, wd_s. With the original “_s” theme seemingly abandoned, this is its natural and spiritual successor.

Fork it, hack it apart, and go forth and build with it!

Yesterday, I focused specifically on the outer facade of Gutenberg – movable blocks, layouts, and modular approaches to content. Today, we're going to look at the back-end. For a WordPress developer, this is…
