WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg is Coming!

A change is coming to WordPress with version 5.0 due out this spring. In this new version, the classic TinyMCE text editor is being replaced with a new editor called Gutenberg. Gutenberg will give you the ability to create pages and posts with diverse content and customized layouts. Read more about the Gutenberg Editor.

We expect to completely transition to WordPress 5.0 by Fall 2018. Before upgrading, we will investigate and test the new version in our sandbox site. Please continue to monitor this site for news about the upgrade.
