The WordPress world came alive with the introduction of Full Site Editing (FSE) in WordPress core earlier this year. While theme developers can keep creating classic themes in the ways they always have, this new method of building themes in the WordPress construct has introduced a lot of excitement, but also a lot of anxiety. The popular Genesis theme product suite has been a fan favorite for removing the anxiety of building high-quality and fast classic themes, but what in the heck do the engineers behind Genesis products have planned for FSE?
In this episode of PressThis, we interview Mike McAlister a Principal Engineer at WP Engine the company behind Genesis about his thoughts on what FSE is, the impacts he thinks it will have on WordPress themes, and specific details around a brand new alpha product his team is working on code-named “FSE Studio” (final name TBD). Mike walks through how the product works, what they have planned for the future, and how you can participate in the Alpha and up your FSE game at the same time!
If you've been fumbling around wondering what your FSE strategy will be, don’t miss this episode of PressThis. Listen now!
