I love it! If you know what SEO is, you will appreciate this theme. It is SEO frendly. It guarantees great results in page speed insight. Is it user-friendly? If you make an effort, you can really get a lot.. Brilliant minimalism!

I don’t know what you guys did but holy fuck the page editor went to shit. I rarely experienced a beta to be so much better than the finished product. We designed the whole site with the beta editor and were good with the result. Now we have to redo the page and nothing works. It feels like so many tools were taken out and have not been replaced with anything. the design we created wasn’t beautiful or anything, but it worked. Now we can’t even get back to that, because things we did simply aren’t possible anymore. Are you kidding me?! What happened?
Sorry, had to get that out. I hope I’m not the only one with that experience.

Minimalist theme that can become big. A small learning curve. And when you start to understand things it’s a fantastic theme.

Twenty Twenty-Two has an option to export your theme when you’ve configured it to your liking. But then there is no option to import it. Or at least I haven’t found it.
You install the plugin to create a child-theme, but when you activate that child-theme to start working with it, you see that most of the settings are lost, and you have to go back to the original theme.
The theme comes with several headers, but when you change one of them and press save, it is saved in that header and in all headers. This makes it impossible for some pages of the website to have a header, and other pages a different header. I want to make a website that has a header on some pages and another header on other pages, but it’s not working for me.
This beta version of Twenty Twenty-Two is still a bunch of nonsense. When the developers improve this theme, I will raise the score without problem.

I can see why people are so pissed off at this Gutenberg theme. I’ve been using it for sometime and I like it however it certainly needs a lot of improvements and I hope that WP team will continue to improve it for better user experience. Following are some of the things I Can suggest
– Add drop down menu on theme editor to to go to other templates easily instead of going back to main template and then selecting templet
– Post comment count block is missing?
– Allow to duplicate and create custom category templates
– Allow category listings pages to use a template
List is long but so far it is good start, it is not so bad as others have reviews.

Did anybody actually test this with real users? Non coders I mean? It is seriously awful. Nothing is intuitive. The Nav block is terrible. Do WordPress really expect people to use this ‘full site editor’? Or is this their attempt to force users to buy a commercial site editor? I cannot believe so many hours were wasted coding this. Awful. One star is too much.

I recently commented on another review that I felt hamstrung by the slow UI of the block editor and stated that many of us can type faster than anyone can use the block editor. The response from the empowered moderator ignored my words so completely that I had to leave my own thoughts.
The moderator apologized for the learning curve in an underhanded comment. I never said I had trouble understanding that remedial interface. It is after all designed so that anyone can use it. I simply said that I can type faster.
Now I don’t want to be rough on the UI designers or the overall direction you are pulling in. Making WordPress accessible to everyone is the goal after all and this UI is starting to take form somewhat. It can be added without being the focus of the theme being blocked by its blockiness.
The Classic Editor plugin having 5 stars and over 7 million downloads shows up first with no search. Frankly I do not see how anyone can get 100% metrics loading all this page builder helper bloatware for Gutenberg. If anyone is able to get this theme to produce a 100% speed rating on GT then I would like to see it.
How many stars does Gutenberg have again?

This is a great leap forward in themes, and if everything worked as intended, it would be just about the best. Right now there are too many frustrating bugs to give it the very top rating—some in the theme itself, some in the Site Editor. Twenty Twenty-Two depends on the Site Editor to get anything done, but the Site Editor is still marked “beta,” and for good reason.
Nevertheless, I’ve gone mad with the power of full-site editing. Maybe it was a mistake to make random bugs the default WordPress experience. But the bugs will be squashed, and I’ll remember this as the theme that put the power of Web design in the hands of writers and designers instead of coders.

A quick path to madness if you try to do much with this theme. Using anything other than the default settings leads you down winding paths of templates and template parts, plenty of which don’t make any sense and don’t seem to connect to anything. Loads of examples of code hidden that you’ll only see if you use code editing rather than visual editing. Should absolutely not be released as a ‘full release’ version.

We chose to use this theme for a large application (a town and village website engine based in and around the town of Rye in East Sussex, UK) before it was even released with the launch of WordPress v5.9.
As the first default full site editing theme, it was always going to be controversial and badly received because it meant that serious change was afoot and no-one likes change!
Here are the main bones of contention and how we overcame them for our project …
1) Problem: Creating a child theme is difficult
Our Solution: Don’t use a child theme! They really aren’t needed and only serve to slow your site down!
For some reason, everyone thinks that to enact changes to a theme you need to use a child theme.
This is absolutely incorrect.
We have never found a theme modification that can’t be done with a bit of CSS, JavaScript or PHP and the use of a relevant action / filter hook. We do this by creating a custom plugin and it’s much faster because WordPress doesn’t have to fire up two themes to show your site!
It also means that if the theme is updated down the line, you don’t have a child theme to be incompatible with it!
2) Problem: There’s nowhere to add custom PHP
Our Solution: Create a custom plugin and use shortcodes. Simple.
As mentioned above, we create a custom plugin and put all additional code there. It’s tidier and means that your application is theme independent!
So it’s really easy for us to create new shortcodes which can then be used by the Shortcode block or in normal paragraphs in the site editor.
3) Problem: Custom templates are difficult to create / manage / migrate
Our Solution: Duplicate them in the database
OK, so this had us stumped for a bit but in the end we realised that when you edit the theme’s templates, the changes are saved into the posts table of the database. This means that they can be renamed (to your a relevant template in the WordPress template hierarchy) in the database and … BOOM … you can create any template for anything you would in a normal theme. The only difference is that they are stored in the database and not in the theme folder …
… which means …
You don’t need a child theme!!! ??
Admittedly this is not an easy process for proficient users, let alone beginners which is why we developed a plugin to allow these full site editing templates to be easily managed (edit, duplicate, export, import).
4) Problem: Custom CSS can’t be added!
Our Solution: Just go to /wp-admin/customize.php and use the classic “Customizer – Additional CSS” functionality
This one doesn’t really need explaining. Suffice to say that because the Additional CSS functionality is used by all themes that are not Full Site Editing themes, I really don’t think this is going to be depreciated anytime soon ?? You’re safe to use it. Relax.
5) Problem: We need more fonts!
Our Solution: Plugins are your friend!
So we just used the normal font plugin that we always use (“Fonts Plugin | Google Fonts Typography”) and that worked fine for us!
6) Problem: Menus cannot be dynamically modified
Solution: Plugin
A lot of WordPress sites, especially those that have the ability for users to sign in, need to be able to modify the site’s menu on-the-fly so that, for example, signed in users can see a sign out link.
This is usually done by filtering the menu but … because the new menu system uses a new block that doesn’t use classic menus, this is not possible.
To get around this, we just used our SideMenu plugin that already has a shortcode so can be injected into the header template using the Shortcode block.
To sum up … this theme isn’t perfect, there were always going to be teething issues and a huge learning curve for new users but we think it’s a fantastic start and makes it super exciting to imagine what FSE themes might look like in the future!
Well done team Twenty Twenty-Two!!

I can’t believe, that the WP-community publish a theme which works only with Gutenberg, only with this specific user interface.
What a pity….

With so few reviews for this theme, I’m taking the opportunity to put my thumb on the scale with another one-star review. My hope is that WordPress will think about what they’ve done and return this theme to the fiery drawing board from which it came.
Main points:
– UI is confusing and seems almost circular in a most frustrating way. Similar experience is comparable to waiting on hold only to be transferred to another department where they put you on hold.
– functionality absent (or totally lost in the confusion)
– Default themes (also confusing on where to modify)
– Impossible to understand what you are controlling and when

We gave up on 2022 when trying a site refresh from the 2011 theme.
An endless stream of CSS needed for alignments.
Mobile stacking left no space between image and text.
The familiar (and self-evident) method making a blog post replaced with a cue-less, incomprehensible screen.
Existing blog posts made in the Gutenberg-free era mangled by 2022.
After w wasted week of effort we moved on. Good luck!

During most of 2022 I have used the Twenty Twenty Two theme. Here is my verdict. I am not a new WP user. I’ve used WP for over ten years. That’s why I write this review.
To be honest: At first I did not like this theme. It had a totally confusing workflow. But having worked a bit with the theme and the ideas behind it I begin to see the visions of it. There are indeed many good ideas.
I still miss a very good tutorial about FSE. A solid introduction to the many blocks. Examples of workflows if you want to create a design from a “blank canvas”. Such tutorials are appearing on YouTube. That’s fine. OK that’s probably for the core teams, since it’s not the theme per se.
Working with this theme is often counterintuitive. For instance the new way for adding menus is far from user friendly. Probably the menus are not part of the theme per se. But then – to the user it’s part of the WordPress experience.
But when you learn to use Twenty Twenty Two I often think ” .. whoaa! cool! this or that’s a nice idea!”
And then suddenly – and then far too often for my liking – things just break down for no reason.
The responsive styles don’t work satisfactory at all. On many devices things just break apart or look weird.
The theme looks cool on first sight, but it is far from stable. My year with this theme was like being in a beta-app under constant development.
