In WordPress 7.0 und neuer, kannst du ein Eingabefeld für zusätzliches CSS pro Block verwenden, um genau das zu tun: zusätzliches CSS für einen einzelnen Block hinzufügen. Und es gibt aktuell keinen einfachen weg, es zu deaktivieren. Deshalb zeige ich dir nachfolgend, wie das geht, auch wenn es relativ versteckt im „Erweitert“-Panel eines jeden Blocks ist.

In WordPress 7.0 and newer, you can use a per-block custom CSS input field to add exactly that: custom CSS for a particular block. And there’s currently no easy way to disable it. Thus, I’ll show you how to do it, even though it is relatively hidden within the “Advanced” settings panel of each block.

Zugriff auf Patterns (Vorlagen) in WordPress 7.0

Mit WordPress 7.0 erscheinen nicht synchronisierte Patterns (Vorlagen) im Editor standardmäßig nur noch eingeschränkt bearbeitbar. Das kann störend für den Workflow sein, wenn man als Administrator vollen Zugriff haben möchte. Im Beitrag erläutere ich, wie sich das darstellt und wie man das mit einem Snippet ändern kann.

In WordPress 7.0 gibt es zwei neue Typografie-Einstellungen im Block-Editor, um den Zeileneinzug und die Funktion „Text anpassen“ verwenden zu können. Letzteres gab es bereits in WordPress 6.9 als Block-Stil. Ich denke, solche Einstellungen sind für die meisten nicht notwendig. Daher zeige ich nachfolgend, wie man sie im eigenen Theme entfernen kann.

In WordPress 7.0, two new typography settings arrived within the block editor to set a line indentation and use the “Fit text” feature. The latter already has been part of WordPress 6.9 as block style. For me, such settings are usually not necessary for most people. Thus I show you how you can remove them in your theme.

Why Now Is The Time To Pull Up My ‘Big Boy’ Trousers’ About My Blog

Have you heard of the saying, ‘Don’t put off today what can be done tomorrow’? I should tell myself that more often because tomorrow becomes tomorrow, and that tomorrow becomes another tomorrow. Before you know it, weeks, months or even years have passed you by, and you still haven’t done what you were putting off until tomorrow.

Last week, after visiting some blogs, I asked myself, ‘Why haven’t I done what they have done yet?’ And the simple and truthful answer was ‘Because of me.’ But what am I referring to?

‘What if?’ moments. Do you ever have them?

A ‘What if’ moment is those moments in life when you believe something is holding you back from doing something you know needs to be done, but you have doubts about it. The problem is that it isn’t the doubts that are holding you back.

The ‘What if’ moment I’ve been having has lasted for the best part of two years.

‘What if changing the theme of my blog from Classic to Block causes problems?’

Given that thousands of other bloggers have done it, I know that, while problems may occur, they can be resolved!

When WordPress introduced the Block Editor, which now seems like many years ago, I disliked it and did everything I could to avoid giving it a chance. I fought myself, declaring I’ll never use it and that I hated the change. And there was my downfall – ‘change.’ I wasn’t willing to accept it.

Then another blogger said in one of her posts, ‘The Block Editor isn’t hard to use; it’s just different.’ That got me thinking, and it was not long before I realised that the reason I didn’t like the change was that I hadn’t set aside any time to read tutorials and watch them, and to give the Block editor a try.

It wasn’t long before I was telling myself that trying out the Block Editor was like switching up from black-and-white to colour television.

Why then has it taken me so long to begin the switch from a Classic to a Block theme? The answer to that question is ‘Me.’ What if something goes wrong? What if I break my blog? What if all my posts disappear? What if my blog disappears without a trace?’ Why if, what if, what if?

The problem with all those questions is that they are not problems. They are excuses. Excuses to stop myself from making changes. And I have found in life that change opens new doors and brings new opportunities. And that’s what switching to using the Block editor did.

But why fix what’s not broken?

I hear people say, ‘Why fix what’s not broken?’ But nobody is fixing anything. All websites have to keep up with technological changes; they would lose many paying customers if they didn’t adapt. It’s paying customers who keep companies alive by buying their products or services, allowing some users to use the site for free.

Now, replace the question ”Why fix what’s not broken?’ with, ‘Why update what is not broken?’ You now have your answer.

Not all WordPress users are lucky enough to have had a choice between a Classic and a Block theme. Many have never known anything but the Block Editor, and they all seem to be doing a great job. However, did you know that the Block editor includes a Classic block that allows users to use the Classic editor?

What’s about to happen on my blog?

Over the next few weeks, you may notice a few changes with my blog as I switch from a Classic to a Block theme. If you notice anything wrong, please let me know, so I can resolve it. There’s plenty of support available on WordPress when you take the time to find it. Part of the excitement for me is choosing a new theme, but another reason I am making the switch is that I gain access to many more blogging tools and options, many of which help users save time.

Finally, I’m pleased to say I’ve changed concerns into excitement. I’m no longer allowing change to stop me from moving ahead on my blogging journey. I want my blog to become part of today’s technology, rather than remain stuck in yesterday’s.

This is my final post using a Classic theme on my blog. Bear with me while I make the changes to a Block theme. Hopefully, it won’t be long before I see you on the other side.

Have you changed the theme of your WordPress blog from Classic to Block? Did you encounter any problems? What were they, and how did you resolve them?

I thought a little more about blogging and why I have hardly pursued this passion for a few years now. 🙄

WordPress and the introduction of its "block editor" called Gutenberg definitely play a significant role in this. 🤬

Since then, I have been avoiding anything related to WordPress, and blogging on the go with the app of the same name has been a nightmare for me anyway, so it no longer exists on my smartphone.

However, I still write on the internet. 😀

For quite some time now, I've been using my Mastodon instance, although it's not quite what I want yet, but better than nothing! 😉

Ich habe noch ein bisschen weiter nachgedacht, über diese Thematik des Bloggen für mich und wieso ich seit ein paar Jahren kaum noch dieser Leidenschaft nachgehe. 🙄

Definitiv hat WordPress sowie die Einführung dessen "Block Editor" namens Gutenberg eine wesentliche Mitschuld daran. 🤬

Denn seither meide ich regelrecht alles mit WordPress und das bloggen von unterwegs mit der gleichnamigen App ist sowieso ein Graus für mich gewesen und daher nicht mehr existent auf meinem Smartphone.

In das Internet schreiben, das mache ich jedoch immer noch. 😀

Seit geraumer Zeit durch meine Instanz von Mastodon, obgleich das noch nicht so ganz dass ist was ich will, besser als nichts jedoch alle mal! 😉

Blogrolls: What Happens When Adding One To Your Blog

A blogroll is a curated list of links to other blogs or websites that a blogger recommends, follows, or finds interesting, which they can display on their blog. Usually shown in a blog or website’s sidebar, footer, menu bar, or dedicated page, it helps foster community, share resources, and help readers find related content. Essentially, it is a “roll” of recommended blogs. 

Unfortunately, WordPress deprecated the Links/Blogroll widget several years ago. However, users of the Block Editor can now access the ‘Blogroll’ block to display a list of recommended or followed blogs.

If, like me, your blog has a widget bar, you can show the blogroll there. If you don’t have a widget bar, you can display a blogroll on a page, post, or in the menubar of your blog.

In this post, I will show you how to create a blogroll in a widget bar and on a blog post or page. I’m using an iMac desktop computer for this.

How to add a blogroll to a widget bar.

• On your blog’s dashboard, navigate to Appearance – Widgets and click the ‘+‘ symbol in the top right corner.

• Find the Blogroll block by typing ‘Blogroll’ in the search bar. Click on the Blogroll block to add it to your widget bar.

For some reason, when you add a Blogroll block, it automatically populates with several blogs, some of which you may not recognise. I found this quite odd, but it’s simple to remove any unwanted ones.

• To delete a blog, select the blog you wish to remove, then click the three vertical dots (kebab menu) and choose Delete.

• To add blogs, click on the ‘+‘ symbol and select from the list that appears or use the search bar to find the blogs you wish to add.

• To change the name of your blogroll, click next to ‘Blogroll‘ and add your own description.

• Click the Update button in the top right corner to publish the Blogroll in the widget bar.

• Check your blog to ensure the Blogroll widget is visible. You can see the blogroll I created towards the bottom of the widget bar on the right side of my blog.

How to add a blog roll to a page or post.

• Add the Blogroll block anywhere on a page or post.

• To add or remove blogs from your blogroll list, follow the instructions above.

Remember that you can change the name of your blogroll. However, be aware that if your blogroll contains many blogs, it will take up a lot of space on the post or page.

You can also convert your blogroll into a reusable block, now called a Pattern, by clicking on the block, then selecting the three dots (kebab menu) and choosing ‘Create Pattern.’

A reusable block on WordPress, now often called a Synced Pattern, is a feature that allows you to save a specific block or group of blocks for use across multiple posts or pages. This is particularly helpful for those selling items on their blog, such as books. For example, if a link to your books needs updating or the price changes, the updates are automatically reflected everywhere the block appears. Clever stuff!

To answer the question I raised in the title of this post, what happens when you add a blog roll to your site? Well, that’s straightforward. It means you promote the blogs you enjoy reading most. In doing so, you help foster a community and bring its members closer together. In turn, you’ll be supporting them in developing their blogs and community. What better way to say ‘thank you’ to those special people?

I’m looking forward to seeing your blogrolls as I’m looking for some new blogs to follow. If you have a blogroll on your blog, let me know.

Have you ever created a blogroll on your own blog? Which blogs or websites did you include? How do you think a blogroll can improve the reader’s experience on a blog? How often do you update your blogroll or the blogs you follow? Have you come across any new blogs from fellow bloggers’ blogrolls? If so, which ones?

Individuelle Stileinstellungen für individuelle Elemente könnten so einfach sein: Den Selektor über die Block-Selector-API in der block.json definieren, für den die Stile aktiv sein sollen. Aber leider funktioniert das so nicht. Wenn du möchtest, dass der Stil bei einem individuellen Element innerhalb deines Blocks greift und nicht für den Block als Ganzes, musst du das manuell implementieren. Glücklicherweise hat Aki Hamanono das „Wie“ auf GitHub geteilt.
