(1 September) Depending on where you live, it’s the first day of Spring. Or Autumn. Or, if you live on Venus, just another season of sulphuric acid showers. No matter where you are, GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. [https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/) 11.4 has been released with new features to brighten your mood including the refactored Gallery BlockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience., duotone filters for featured images, and more block design tools! ## Gallery Block now uses Image Blocks The Gallery Block now acts as a wrapper for coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. Image Blocks. ![](https://make.wordpress.org/core/files/2021/09/004.png) ![](https://make.wordpress.org/core/files/2021/09/010.png) Individual gallery images will therefore feature all existing and future functionality of not only Image Blocks – for example, the ability to add custom links, filters, and styles – but also standard block behavior such as move, drag and drop, copy, and keyboard navigation. For now, the new Gallery Block can be enabled on the Gutenberg Experiment page, but the plan is for the Gallery Block to ship with WordPress 5.9. Theme and pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress. org Plugin Directory [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. authors can get wise about backward compatibility recommendations over in the [Gallery Block Refactor Dev Note](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/08/20/gallery-block-refactor-dev-note/). ## Duotone filters for featured images Duotone filters were [introduced to image and cover blocks in 10.6](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/05/14/whats-new-in-gutenberg-10-6-12-may/). By extending duotone filters to Post Featured ImageFeatured image A featured image is the main image used on your blog archive page and is pulled when the post or page is shared on social media. The image can be used to display in widget areas on your site or in a summary list of posts. blocks, 11.4 enables us to set consistent effects across post and page templates, recent posts lists, and Query Block content. [[ ## Padding support for Button Blocks As of 11.4, we can define padding for Button Blocks with the further option of linking padding values to vertical and horizontal axial sides. The aim is to provide greater control as well as uniformity in the way we display button elements. We can still set a single padding value for all sides – adding extra vertical or horizontal padding just gives us that extra flexibility to create variations on our design patterns. ## Support for block gap spacing Having a consistent way to tweak the margin/gap between blocks has been a long-standing feature requestfeature request A feature request should generally begin the process in the ideas forum, on a mailing list, as a plugin, or brought to the attention of the core team, such as through scope meetings held for each major release. Unsolicited tickets of this variety are typically, therefore, discouraged.. 11.4 [introduces the groundwork](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/33812) for adding gap spacing control to blocks such as Buttons, Images, and Columns, opening up the possibility of more powerful and precise layout tools. There’s [work in progress](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/33991) to bring this to the editor so stay tuned for updates in upcoming releases! ## Other notable highlights Font weight support is now available for the [Post Date](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/34070) and [Post Terms](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/34142) Blocks. An “early betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process.” feature has also made it into 11.4: the ability to expose a [parent block’s toolbar controls to its child blocks](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/33955). A use case would be changing the alignment of Buttons when editing a single Button. Keep an eye out for a request for feedback on this developing feature soon. [[ ## 11.4.0 ### Enhancements * AccessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities.
