Eduma – Education WordPress Theme
We provide an amazing WordPress theme with fast and responsive designs. Let’s find out!
The Power of Gutenberg: A Faster Foundation
Before diving into the theme, it’s essential to understand its foundation: Gutenberg. As the native block editor developed by the WordPress core team, Gutenberg was designed to modernize content creation while addressing major pain points like boat and slow performance.
Unlike traditional page builders that add heavy layers of code, Gutenberg is lightweight, fast and stable. This lean, efficient approach is foundational for any online learning platform where speed and user experience are critical for keeping students engaged.
The Online Learning theme enhances Gutenberg with a powerful companion plugin: Gutenberg Thim Blocks – Page Builder. This plugin is the key to unlocking true design flexibility without sacrificing performance. It’s a collection of professional, easy-to-use blocks that supercharge the default editor, allowing you to build feature-rich pages directly within the native WordPress interface.
What is Thim Blocks?
Thim Blocks is a free plugin that adds a library of beautifully designed and highly customizable blocks to the Gutenberg editor. It eliminates the need for heavy, third-party page builders, keeping your site fast and lightweight.
- Easy to Use: Simply install the plugin, and the new blocks will be available in the editor, ready to be added to any page or post.
- Designed for Speed & Simplicity: Built for the native Gutenberg editor, Thim Blocks adds no bloated code, ensuring your site remains optimized for performance.
- Extensive Block Library: The plugin includes over 14 essential blocks to create rich, interactive pages:
- Accordion
- Countdown & Counter
- Post Carousel & Slider
- Teams
- Google Map
- Login Form
- Video Popup
- …and more!
“Thim Blocks is a game-changer for Gutenberg. Finally, I can create course pages without Elementor.” – Linda, Course Creator
