 * You’ve stated in another question that you will “add an option to choose the 
   hero layout for the Custom Post Types in the upcoming release” which should satisfy
   this question of mine. Thank you 🙂

 * Awesome! That should solve the issue of the featured image. Thank you 🙂
 * Now, hopefully, you’ll be able to make it so that the featured image can ALSO
   be a featured video. 😀

 * I want a single portfolio page to have it’s featured image be applied as a full
   screen cover, like how it can be on single pages.
 * See this page? [https://www.jasonrjohnston.com/about/](https://www.jasonrjohnston.com/about/)
 * The way the featured image is displayed as a full page cover image?
 * I want that to be an option to be applied to single portfolio pages like here:
   [https://www.jasonrjohnston.com/portfolio/buckn-crazy-heartbreak-song/](https://www.jasonrjohnston.com/portfolio/buckn-crazy-heartbreak-song/)
 * Is that possible? Thanks!

 * Hi, Tammie.
 * Gutenberg is a modern remix of the WordPress WYSIWYG editor and the classic code
   editor. I like how simple it is on the outside, but how robust it is when you
   dig into the menus.
 * I decided a few weeks ago to divide my multisite into several single site installs,
   and as I was migrating sites I noticed Gutenberg and tried it, loved it, and 
   decided to completely separate my blog from my portfolio and make it its own 
   site specifically to utilize Gutenberg for writing content in stead of having
   to deal with the Visual Composer editor that came with the theme I use on my 
   main portfolio website.
 * I have since been learning Gutenberg by manually converting the majority of my
   old blog posts to Gutenberg. Trial by fire. And Gutenberg holds up just fine.
   I’ve manually converted my posts before whenever I changed themes and they came
   with their own proprietary editor…but Gutenberg is the best and it comes with
   WordPress. I would much rather leave Visual Composer to the portfolio sites, 
   and have a clean, minimalistic WordPress install and just use Gutenberg for all
   my content creation. I’ve only used it for a few days and I don’t want to go 
   back to the old ways.
 * For me, it’s like converting from Final Cut Pro 7 to Final Cut Pro X: FCPX had
   it’s issues at first, but even in its infancy it was leaps and bounds more robust
   than FCP7. Everyone who uses other editors like Visual Composer, and those theme
   and plugin developers, aren’t going to like it. Sure, you’re going to piss off
   all the ludites, so you offer the legacy editor as a plugin, which is fine. But…
 * Times are changing and Gutenberg is the modern, easier, faster, better way to
   create and publish content for WordPress.
 * Everything is easier. Embedding content is cleaner, placing blocks is awesome,
   I can get my hands dirty in code if I want to without leaving the WYSIWYG environment,
   headings are easier to deal with, everything is easier to format, the interface
   is clean and minimalistic and pretty, it’s well organized.
 * I haven’t had issues with plugins yet but I know Yoast SEO works fine with it.
 * I want to see WordPress 5 come along with a brand new 2018 or 2019 native theme
   that embraces Gutenberg. That’s what I want to blog with, and besides a few small
   plugins, it’s all I need. I’ve been using WordPress since at least v2.3 (if not
   earlier) in 2008 and I remember upgrading to 2.5 that year. So, I’m a long-time
   user of WordPress and Gutenberg is the best thing you have done.
 * My blog is located at [https://blog.jasonrjohnston.com/](https://blog.jasonrjohnston.com/)
   and everything from 2014 to this year has been rebuilt using Gutenberg. I’m waiting
   to see what the new default theme will be come WordPress 5. Cheers!

   2 weeks ago which answers my problem. Thanks all!
 * I found your post on Google, and figured out a painfully simple solution on my
   own.
 *     ```
       <!-- User Start -->
   
       <?php if ( $user_ID ) :
   
       // here's the kicker
       global $user_identity;
       // really. that's it. ?>
   
       Welcome <b><?php echo $user_identity; ?></b>!
       ( <a href="/wp-login.php?action=logout">Log Out</a> | <a href="/wp-admin/profile.php">Profile</a><?php wp_register(); ?> )
   
       <?php else : ?>
   
       Welcome <b>Guest</b>!
       ( <a href="/wp-login.php">Log In</><?php wp_register(); ?> )
   
       <?php endif; ?>
   
       <!-- User End --></a>
       ```
   
 * Easy enough, right? Cheers.
