Found a bugbugA bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.?Create a ticket in the bug tracker.
We’ve all been there. Staring at a blank page sometimes with an idea of what you want to create and sometimes with a mind as blank as the page. To make the creation process easier and to leap into the pattern filled future, work is underway to suggest blockBlockBlock 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. patterns based on the block one is working with. Tied to this, when using the block inserter, block patterns will be suggested where possible. In the long run as this work continues and spreads to more blocks, it will be easier to create content and get inspired without leaving the editor.
Exploring integrated patterns
For now with GutenbergGutenbergThe 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/ 10.6.2, you can see how this flow works with a few blocks including the Heading Block, Query Block, Social Icon Block, Buttons Block, and Paragraph Block. In particular, lots of work has been done around the Query Block to make it easier to create beautiful layouts in a few clicks with this powerful block. Here’s a quick visual showing this experience with the Quote Block:
Video showing how the block patterns can be found in the transforms options
You can begin to explore these patterns in three ways:
Browse through them in the Patterns tab of the Block Inserter.
Select directly from the Quick Inserter.
Navigate to them in the transform menu of individual blocks.
Integrate your custom block patterns
On the flip side, if you’re creating your own custom block patterns, there’s a new experimental blockTypes property being worked on that will allow your patterns to show up in the transform menu. Here’s an example of how this works currently. This is still in the early stages though as it’s utilizing experimental components and might need changes down the road so stay tuned! If you do try this out and run into any bugs/feature requests, feel free to share them in the Gutenberg repo.

@notlaura shared a W3C CSSWG draft relating to issues caused by @supports, for example browsers that support gap but only in the context of grid, not flexbox

https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ repo to help begin the process of obtaining consent from contributors to relicense their work under the GPLv2 and MPLv2 licenses. I appreciate everyone’s quick responses on both of those issues, but understand that both raised some concerns that I would like to address here. The first is a concern with the amount of notifications from the contributor agreement issue and the second is a concern with emails listed in the confirming commit authors issue. Apologies to anyone negatively impacted by either of those issues as that was certainly not the intent.
There was consideration for alternate routes of gathering consent such as Google Forms, Google Sheets, a markdown file in the repo, and a standalone website but none offered the transparency and simplicity as a GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. https://github.com/ issue. While prior Make/CoreCoreCore is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. posts on the proposal and next steps for dual-licensing Gutenberg did mention the planned use of GitHub issues to gather consent from contributors, those posts could have been more descriptive in their plans. In aiming for transparency and simplicity there were unintended side effects of adding noise into your daily lives with the GitHub notifications. I apologize for this negative impact to you and any other unintended consequences.
There was also consideration for directly emailing or SlackSlackSlack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/ direct messaging to gain confirmation on potentially unknown commit authors, but these options were dismissed in favor of a GitHub issue to allow for transparency and simplicity in the process. In sharing emails from the publicly available Gutenberg repo’s git log there were concerns that this opened those people up for spam and other unsolicited emails. While those email addresses were already publicly available, I recognize that we made them more readily accessible and apologize for any negative impact this has on those individuals as a side effect of our attempt to transparently handle the process of confirming commit authors.
Again, it is worth repeating that I appreciate everyone’s quick responses on these issues and I apologize for anyone negatively impacted by them. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please utilize the comments on this post and I will work to ensure they are addressed.

#14781 – The ticketticketCreated for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. was discussed also during the previous chat. It was decided to close it and follow the best practices laid out in the plugin handbook.
#20944 – The ticket was closed. The maintainers don’t see an elegant way to automate this action at this time. The solution is to re-activate the pluginPluginA plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

#17301 – A method or instructions on how to test would be good. Added a note asking for testing info in the ticket.
#51823 and #51857 – The issue in the first ticket can not be reproduced or addressed without more details. @francina will investigate with @sergeybiryukov since the ticket mentions the Yoast plugin. As for the second ticket, @afragen pointed out that there were issues in the copying of the downloaded plugin or the plugin was incompletely downloaded and it’s hard to determine. The feature pluginFeature PluginA plugin that was created with the intention of eventually being proposed for inclusion in WordPress Core. See Features as PluginsRollback Update Failure is an attempt to restore the previous existing plugin in the event of a failure. He created a Gist to force a failure to see how the feature plugin works. https://gist.github.com/afragen/80b68a6c8826ab37025b05d4519bb4bf – If you try it, please add your comments in the tickets.
#15134, #29408, and #36710 are all related to symlinks. @pbiron will evaluate those and see if he can close a couple of them in favor of keeping of single ticket open.
