Der Gruppe-Block ist ein Basis-Baustein für Layouts

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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 editor. 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! 😉

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.

Custom styling settings for custom elements could be so easy: use the block selector API to define the selector where the styles should apply and enable the applicable styles in the block.json. But unfortunately, it doesn’t work this way. If you need to apply styling to a custom element inside your block and not the surrounding element, you need to implement it manually. Luckily, Aki Hamano shared a how-to on GitHub.

Quick tip when you need to add custom CSS with the block editor on individual blocks:

Use the is() pseudo-class function to target specific elements which have the block class applied.

`h2&` won't work, but `&:is(h2)` will.

TIL in WordPress, you *can* create a block (for the block editor) that saves some fields to block attributes and others to post meta (custom fields) 💪

So why would I want to do that? I want the block to render in place in the page content, but I need some information from the post that can be injected into inline JS on the page. No need to parse the content and extract from the block, if that information is in post meta.

When I started https://OmniForm.io, I knew it would be a long game, tied to the growth of the #BlockEditor and #BlockThemes. The focus has always been on staying committed to the block editor, and it’s great to see more attention as adoption grows. #WordPress

I was having trouble with live rendering of Cloudflare Turnstile in the #BlockEditor, so I replaced it with static images. All styles are still represented. Here’s a short screen recording showing it. #OmniForm #WordPress

Last time I shared a screenshot of the improved #OmniForm onboarding flow. Now here’s a short video of the work in progress, powered by the Navigator #BlockEditor component. 🚀 #WordPress

Spent the weekend transforming #OlliePro (https://olliewp.com) form placeholders with OmniForms 🛠️ Managed to get a working block transform in under 4 hours! Still needs some tweaks, but it's coming along nicely.

Loving how #OmniForm integrates seamlessly with Ollie to bring more power to the #BlockEditor in #WordPress.
