1. What Needs To Be Taken Care Before Updating WordPress
5.0?
WordPress has been one of the top platforms to have a self­hosted, mobile­ready
website that can be fully customized and personalized from thousands of different
themes and plugins. Since 2003 there have been innumerable updates and the
official announcement about releasing date of WordPress Gutenberg is expected in
November 19th.
This new feature will become the new standard for WordPress Development and
WordPress is encouraging users to try it out. The huge change in the integration of
Gutenberg technology is that, it will no longer require code. This format will utilise
blocks section instead of the standard (TinyMCE) editor we have seen.
What is the Gutenberg Editor?
Named after Johannes Gutenberg, who is inventor of the printing press, the
Gutenberg editor will completely change the current post editor which you have
been using with your standard WordPress installation. In other words, creating
content with WordPress is going to be a all new experience with Gutenberg. While
using current (WYSIWYG) editor requires knowledge of shortcodes and HTML for
full functionality, were as in e Gutenberg editor makes this process easier by
grouping sections into “little blocks”.
These content blocks transform how users, developers, and hosts interact with

publishing — and work — for everyone, regardless of technical ability.
Apart from that, here are few things you can prepare for, before updating to
WordPress 5.0:
1. Test the Gutenberg Editor Plugin Before updating WordPress 5.0
When you update to WordPress 5.0, your post editor automatically updates to
Gutenberg. Before you work in panic mode, understand that you’ll still able to do
toggle between new editor and old classic (WYSIWYG) editor. To maintain your
status in WordPress community member, you’ll need to get some experience with
this feature.
Before going for WordPress update, you can download the Gutenberg editor plugin
in your WordPress repository. It is currently in beta testing and there are a lot of
remaining plugin compatibility issues so, you’ll want to test the plugin in a staging
or testing site, NOT on a live site.

2. Backup Your Website (Regularly)
Before installing the Gutenberg editor plugin, don’t forget to create several backups
of your website. There are plenty of options that allow you to backup your site. Few
take the form of plugins while others include the built­in functionality of your web
hosting.

3. 3. Perform tests only on staging website
If you’re trying the Gutenberg editor, then it is recommended that you host your
changes on a staging site so that your main website won’t be affected if anything
goes wrong.
4.Update Your WordPress Regularly
The core WordPress version update is usually the major update you’ll need to make
on a semi­regular basis. Once the WordPress core code is updated then update your
plugins and themes subsequently.
When you don’t update all components, there may be some compatibility issues
appearing with site. And your website might not function properly. That’s why,
when you have all updates (i.e. theme, plugins, core) available, moderate yourself to
not update them all at once. Your website may break down. That’s why backup is so
important!
