I was brought onboard to take over from a different MSP. I was left a WordPress site that was built on a customized version of the stock TwentySeventeen theme, that did not play well with Gutenberg, and plugins that had since been abandoned.I redesigned the site using the popular Astra theme which added full support for Gutenberg, and replaced the abandoned plug-ins with up-to-date and supported ones. It was a lot of fun bringing this site up to current WordPress standards to take advantage of the new editor and features.
