Introduction

Since terms like blocks and site editing are so radically different from what we've known and loved about WordPress for decades, I think it's a good idea to establish a basic understanding of what we're talking about before we jump right into block themes.

Block Editor

The reason we refer to the WordPress Editor as the Block Editor is because it enables us to construct posts and pages where each element— including text, photos, videos, headers, and footers—is put into the post using blocks that may be organised modularly to complete page layouts.
It developed from what is now referred to as the "classic" editor, which was more directly focused on entering material to be published on a page or post in a preset layout.

It's similar to how content and layout are combined when both are controlled via the WordPress Editor. Since both are immediately changeable in the WordPress Editor interface, we no longer need to rely on the editor for text and (more or less) theme templates for layout.

Block Theme

A block theme refers to a WordPress theme that comprises templates entirely composed of blocks, thereby enabling the utilization of the block editor to modify any aspect of the website, including the post content of diverse post types such as pages, posts, and so forth.

Site Editor

The WordPress Site Editor enables us to design and modify templates composed of blocks. The primary aim is to provide a collection of fundamental building blocks that can be utilized to construct a website on a global scale, such as a header component. This may include blocks for the slogan, main menu, and site logo. With the site editor, we can completely redesign the website's overall aesthetic without writing a single line of code, either by altering an existing theme or creating a new block theme.

Files Included

Extract the zipped package downloaded from Wordpress.org to your desktop, in the extracted package you will find the "online-retailer.zip" file which is the WordPress theme.

After downloading the template, you'll see a folder with a number of files and subfolders. You can read description of some important files.

"online-retailer.zip" - All the files required for the theme are in this folder.
"readme.txt" - Contain details on the theme's image paths, scripted font usage, and theme descriptions.
"license.txt" - Consist of license details.

Theme Installation

There are two ways to install a WordPress theme: using the built-in installer or by uploading it via FTP.

Built-in Installer

The steps are listed below :

Access your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Appearance ► Themes

Go to Add New

Click On "Upload Theme".

Select the theme you want to install by clicking the Choose File button.

You've successfully installed your theme.

Install a Theme using FTP

The next choice is to upload the theme using FTP. To employ this technique, first Access your website using an FTP connection, then go to the wp-content/themes folder. Then, unzip the downloaded theme, extract the file, and upload it to your server.

After that, log in to access your WordPress account and go to Appearance ► Select Themes to activate Total.

Install Plugins

Consequently, at this point you have probably seen a warning urging you to install suggested plugins. This is required for the theme to function flawlessly with the Theme Panel plugin and a few other plugins. It's really easy to install; all you have to do is click Start installing plugins, and you'll be sent to the plugin installation page where you can put in whatever plugin you want or need.
