However, at present, the block editor is not very mature. We have encountered many thorny problems in the process of developing the block editor theme built-in blocks, and frequent updates and changes have led to repeated debugging of our block code. So at this stage, we should not consider using the built-in visual editing function of WordPress to design themes. The follow-up will also continue to follow up and make adjustments.
