“What’s new in 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/…” posts (labeled with the #gutenberg-newtagtagA directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.)) are posted following every Gutenberg release on a biweekly basis, showcasing new features included in the release. As a reminder, here’s an overview of different ways to keep up with Gutenberg and the Site Editor project (formerly called Full Site Editing).
This release sees the 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. inspector tabs experiment stabilized, prevents images from being resized larger than their containing element, and adds the ability to paste styles from one block to another. In addition, there’s now a “sticky” option for blocks enabling them to stay in view while the rest of the content scrolls.
Block inspector tabs experiment has been stabilized
The block inspector tabs experiment has been stabilized with the release of Gutenberg 15.0. Some blocks now split controls between separate tabs in the inspector panel. If you’ve enabled the “Off canvas navigation editor” experiment then you will additionally see the list view tab whenever a Navigation block is selected in the editor. This in turn will contain a list of the links that you can edit. This enables a new way of editing menus that supplements, and doesn’t replace, the on-canvas functionality. (47045)
“Paste styles” option added to the block settings
Gutenberg 15.0 introduces “Paste styles” making it easier to create multiple blocks with identical styling. This enables the user to copy a block and then paste just the styling of that block into another block The “Paste styles” option is available in the drop-down menu from the block’s settings panel, as demonstrated in the video above. (45477)
Edit block style variations from global styles
In a block that has variations, e.g., Button, Image, or Site Logo, it is now possible to change their styles via the Global styles panel, and those changes should only affect that specific variation. See a demo in the video above. (46343)
Images constrained to their containers
Prior to this release if you resized an image block using the handles it could easily be set to a size larger than the container. Now when you drag the handles the image remains constrained to the container and is prevented from being resized larger than its container. (45775)
New “Sticky” Position block support
A block can now be decoupled from the page layout. A new Position block support adds a “Sticky” option so that a block remains within the viewport and is stuck to the top of the page when the content is scrolled instead of scrolling with the rest of the content. This is useful if you need to ensure that an element, such as a status message or a promotion, remains on screen regardless of the page’s scroll position. It works in the block editor as well as in the front-end so the editor provides a true WYSIWYGWhat You See Is What You GetWhat You See Is What You Get. Most commonly used in relation to editors, where changes made in edit mode reflect exactly as they will translate to the published page. experience for this feature. You can learn about some follow up tasks to this initial implementation in this issue. (46142)
Other notable highlights
Allow sidebarSidebarA sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. and frame resizing
This release enables the ability to resize the sidebar in the site editor allowing you to change the proportion of sidebar to frame. See it in action in this video. (46903)
Synchronize the canvas mode with the site editor URLURLA specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org
Gutenberg 15.0 updates the site editor to persist the “edit mode” in the URL. So for example if you’re in edit mode and then refresh the page, you get back to the same state thereby avoiding the need to click “edit” every time you reload the page. (47002)
Enable copy/cut shortcut
Keep your hands on the keyboard – the copy/cut/paste shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd + C, Ctrl/Cmd + X, Ctrl/Cmd + V) now work in the Site Editor. (45752)
