Goodbye Classic Editor, Hello Gutenberg-style block editing!

WordPress 5.0 introduced the Gutenberg block editor in December 2018. Initially, many theme developers relied on plugins such as the “Classic Editor”, to give existing users the same experience designing and editing their content without user the Gutenberg block editor.

What should you do if your website uses the DIVI theme by Elegant Themes?

If you have a website administrator that is competent with the DIVI theme, just make sure they are following the update.

If you don’t have a DIVI competent web manager, call or message me. Getting on my schedule for a site audit, content review and migration strategy outline is important!

Migrating From DIVI 4 To DIVI 5

Step 1

Initial Consultation

I begin with a detailed consultation to understand your specific needs and objectives for the migration. Whether it is moving from DIVI 4 to DIVI 5, or updating from an existing theme, I want to understand what worked for, where you want to improve, and understand any updates to your website’s content.

Step 2

Audit, Planning and Assessment

In most cases,  will use in-house assets to perform a through audit of your WordPress installation, including themes and plugins used. This audit will also include a review of all content and pages to determine what is relevant to your business today and what might be archived before migration.

Step 3

Backup, Migration, & Restoration

In most cases, any major project like a theme change or migration is done offline in a sandbox. This sandbox is a server that allows your website to be worked on without disturbing your online presence. When the new website is ready, it is moved to the live server, replacing your old website.

Is your website hosting going to renew in the next six months?

Review your existing hosting plan at around six months before it renews. Many hosting companies have increased prices, but reduced features and support! Migrating to a new hosting company can save money and enhance a website’s performance!

Websites and social media marketing are core to exposing a brand’s, product and services to new customers and help retain existing ones.

What makes me, John L. Wood, a unique digital marketing consultant is that I have a deep background in B2C and B2B sales. To create content that sells, one needs to understand how to leverage the benefits of a brand, product or service. Benefits are solutions, the answers which are core to closing any sale.
