Bex “WordPress theme developers are facing the inevitable task of updating their themes to be FSE-enabled in order to remain relevant in the new era of using blocks to edit all aspects of a WordPress site. Themes that don’t support the full range of the platform’s features do not have long before they become the last vestiges of a bygone era of WordPress themes.” I’ve worked with hundreds of clients and not once has someone requested the ability to be able to endlessly rework their site. They don’t care about FSE or remaining “relevant” or “features”. All they ever want is something affordable, something that will enhance their business, and something that won’t be an endless money-pit. FSE currently addresses none of these things in a meaningful way and has only served to increase development and maintenance costs. I strongly believe a pre-5.0 WordPress site remains more future-proof than what has come after.
