This update introduces a block Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.-based child theme alongside the shared WordPress.org parent theme, paving the way for future enhancements. The main changes include converting all content to blocks and standardizing the layout, typography, and colors. The homepage was also redesigned, and new contributor testimonials were added.
Here’s a look at the homepage, followed by the pledges directory, and the new testimonials page.

This change marks the beginning of modernizing Five for the Future.
