Many WordPress beginners avoid customizing block themes, which has persisted in recent years because they believe the solution necessitates complex coding. Indeed, you can customize your website with an integral WordPress block theme using Full Site Editing (FSE). But you will encounter challenges when sending out your custom style.

You can create a customized block theme seamlessly with the Create Block Theme plugin. Also, it will be easier for you to export the plugin as your block theme after improving your theme with the site editor. You will no longer need to build from scratch, as you can easily install a block theme from other websites. Here is what you should know about your new WordPress block themes and how to use the tool to create your site.

How do you customize a wordpress block theme?

Customizing your WordPress block theme from scratch can help you access and edit files. It can also help you build additional block themes whenever you want. The following are steps to building a new WordPress block theme:

Step 1: Establish a wordpress block theme through installation, activation, and upgrade

Before you do anything, your parent block theme is essential. Therefore, you must install the parent block theme you will use. With the WordPress theme structure, you can select your preferred block theme from more than a hundred options. After installing the block theme, click and add a complete filter site editing.

The first step is easy, such that once you go through multiple WordPress block themes and find the one you like, you only need to install and activate it immediately. While in your dashboard, find “Appearance Themes” to download and activate the new WordPress theme in your dashboard. Then, install and activate the new theme.

After downloading and activating the block theme, select “Plugin” from the options and add “New” before proceeding to “Create Block Theme” on your search button. Afterward, download and turn on the plugin. Before you begin with your site editor, make sure you download and create a block theme plugin. To do this, you need an up-to-date plugin version. You must download the tool, put it to work, and upgrade it.

Step 2: Customize your theme with the site editor

The next step requires you to access your site editor to make changes to your block theme. It would help if you went through the appearance editor to make modifications. After opening the entire site editor, modify the block settings by clicking on specialized tools like the footer or header, and then proceed to retouch site blocks.

When editing site blocks, tap the circle symbol in your dashboard at the suitable top space and upgrade the colors, typography, and layout. After this, select a default site editor theme and style to continue. If you want, you can insert new block themes. Select the multiple options on display, and click the + button. You can also drag and drop tools onto your webpage.

If you want to show and view the template you’re working on, go to your site editor block and tap on the WordPress logo in the top left corner of your dashboard. Choose a template part or templates from the site editor, depending on what you want for your design. However, you can still include new editor templates and make changes to the default selections.

Next, you can open your block theme template editor since you have just selected a new template. Progress can be made by editing the template page and adding block patterns, template elements, and new blocks. Through template editing, you can access many ways to create your block theme. Once you are done editing, click to save the modifications you made.

Step 3: Export your block theme

You must send out your block theme if you want to use the same theme on another website. To unblock, navigate through “Create Block Theme” and “Appearances’’ on another website. To unblock, navigate through “Create Block Theme” and “Appearance.” This allows you to utilize different options for exporting the new block theme. After making changes, as seen in step 2, it is necessary to export the block theme. But there are also other options you can use to customize your block theme, as follows:

Build a child theme:

It installs a new child theme by utilizing an activated theme as the parent theme.

Imitate the Current Theme: This imitates or clones the existing theme you have activated, such as user settings and assets.

Overwrite theme data:

It helps you save the changes you have made as themes before removing changes made by the user. It also destroys old files and records new ones over them.

Create blank theme:

This command generates a standard text theme within your block theme directory.

Build style modifications:

It saves changes in the editor block themes as a global design variation of an actuated theme.

You can select from the block themes freely; overwrite and export are excellent choices that can help you seamlessly install a customized theme file. However, if you have to pick an alternative option, to create a “child theme,” you must supply the theme URI, theme description, author, theme name, and author URI. You might not include the style variation because it only requires a variation name.

If you still want to generate style variations, select your preferred option before clicking on Create Block Theme. It will automatically install a customized block theme zip file for you. The file will contain the theme files you modified with the site editor. Then you can download the block theme from another website for speedy processing.

Conclusion

The site editor plugin and the Create Block Theme can work together to simplify your challenging task. You have total control over the layout of your website when you create your block theme.
