Gutenberg is the block editor built into WordPress. It lets you structure pages and posts visually, without code. For anyone looking to learn independently, here’s a curated YouTube selection of educational videos in French, clear and beginner-friendly. It’s divided into two main sections:
➡️ Native blocks in Gutenberg (text, columns, images, etc.)
➡️ Advanced blocks from the Spectra extension, to go further.
⚠️ A note on affiliate links in these videos
Several videos listed below contain affiliate links. These links typically appear in the YouTube description, since it’s the only place where clickable links are allowed.
However, affiliate promotion is not always obvious. It can be subtly embedded within the video itself—such as a tutorial that heavily features a tool—without clearly stating the commercial relationship. This may indicate an intent to promote a product for commission-based sales.
💡 That’s why it’s important not to rely solely on what’s said in the video. A close look at the description often reveals commercial interests and affiliate intent. This context helps understand why a specific tool or method is being recommended.
This is not to suggest all videos are biased, but rather to encourage critical viewing. Some recommendations are genuinely helpful, but vigilance is key to making independent technical decisions.
