Here are the slides from my E-Alumni talk at Business Academy Aarhus November 4rd 2020

The Trends

• A) Trends in CMS usage with focus on WordPress 2020 – 20201.
• B) Blockbuilders – the situation where Gutenberg is integrated in the WordPress Core.
• C) Twentytwentyone under deveopment here and now. What can we expect from the next generation of WordPress themes?

The Slides

Here are the slides from my presentation. The live code session happened IRL, but you can get an idea of the code in the sample below.

Sample code

How to create your own Patterns for Gutenberg is a well kept secret. In due time I guess that you’ll be able to create the Patterns via a button. But in the present version of WordPress you’ll have to write some code. Here is a plugin, but you could do something similar in the child theme’s functions.php.
