What It Is: #
The WordPress Site Editor is a revolutionary tool designed for Full Site Editing (FSE), enabling you to visually customise every aspect of your website using blocks. With the Site Editor, you can modify site-wide elements such as headers, footers, and templates, as well as individual page content—all without writing any code.
Using the LSX Design Theme with the Site Editor takes your website building experience to the next level. LSX Design comes with pre-built templates, custom blocks, and patterns that work seamlessly with WordPress’s FSE features, giving you complete control over your site’s design and structure. This allows non-developers to build professional websites with ease, using intuitive drag-and-drop functionality.
Key Features: #
- Complete Site Customisation: The Site Editor allows you to manage every element of your website, from the homepage to navigation menus, headers, and footers, in a visual interface.
- Global Elements: Design and manage site-wide elements like headers and footers, ensuring consistent design across all your pages.
- Template and Template Part Management: With LSX Design, you can customise templates for specific content types (e.g., blog posts, product listings) and reuse template parts such as footers or navigation menus across your site.
- Block-Based Design: Every part of your site, from headers to individual content sections, is built with blocks, making layout adjustments simple and code-free.

How to Use the Site Editor with LSX Design: #
Accessing the Site Editor: #
To begin customising your site using the LSX Design Theme, access the Site Editor by navigating to:
- Appearance > Editor in the WordPress dashboard. This will open the Site Editor interface, where you can modify your entire website’s structure and design using LSX Design’s pre-built templates and blocks.
Customising Templates: #
Templates in the Site Editor define the structure and layout of your website’s key areas, like the homepage, blog posts, and archive pages. Here’s how to work with them:
- Choose a Template: Select an existing template, such as the homepage or single post layout, from the Templates section. With the LSX Design Theme, templates are optimised for responsiveness and modern design standards.
- Add or Rearrange Blocks: Use the block inserter (the + icon) to add or rearrange blocks within the template. For example, you can add navigation menus, footers, or call-to-action sections using LSX’s custom blocks.
- Template Parts: Reusable sections, like your header and footer, can be saved as Template Parts. These parts can be applied across multiple pages to ensure a consistent design across your site.
To explore how to navigate and customise templates, refer to the Site Editor navigation guide.
