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-new tag) are posted following every Gutenberg release on a biweekly basis, showcasing new features included in each 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 includes 171 PRs from 56 contributors, and includes several exciting features such as an improved Site Editor user experience and a new command tool with a pending name.
To access it, simply open the Site Editor and use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+k on Mac or Ctrl+k on Windows. Once opened, you will discover a range of commands that enable swift navigation, content creation, and more.
Your feedback is vital in helping us refine and improve the Command tool. We have a feedback request available on the Make blog, and we would greatly appreciate any input you can provide.
Enhancements to the Site Editor Experience
The Site Editor has been updated with features that improve the user experience:
Preview at any size
You now have the ability to resize your site editor, allowing you to preview how it will appear on smaller screens such as mobile devices.
Improved Drag and Drop
When moving blocks, you will now see a visual cue that clearly indicates where 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 WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel from Sebastian. Is there any way to filterFilterFilters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions.

The Roadmap’s Ongoing work section is updated and tasks are split into Required for Core introduction and Future. The primary focus then is on completing the required for CoreCoreCore is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. items.
@annezazu mentioned: “There’s a new, very simple “UX and Polish” board that some of us are trying to curate for some developers to dive into.Any issue on this board should be actionable by developers specifically, not add any new features, and not require additional design thought or help.”
@mamaduka mentioned “I’ve been debugging flaky e2e tests and helping with reviews this week.”
“The `templateLock` for feature `innerBlocks` might need more refinement” and provided the following use case: “We want the client to be able to insert a maximum amount of two buttons in an innerBlock. The client should also be able to insert just one or zero buttons as well. The current implementation of templateLock does not offer a configuration option for such a use case.”
@aurooba commented: “This would be handy for a lot of different custom blocks I often also create where you need to maximum number of innerBlocks, rather than a specific amount.”, followed by another use case: a custom 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. to feature posts from another custom post typeCustom Post TypeWordPress can hold and display many different types of content. A single item of such a content is generally called a post, although post is also a specific post type. Custom Post Types gives your site the ability to have templated posts, to simplify the concept.. The design directive explicitly asked to not allow more than 6, less than 6 was okay. “If the templateLock featured had a max property, that would make it pretty simple.” she wrote.
Another use case: “Having a max (and even a minimum) is a pretty common pattern most folks coming from the world of ACF and similar plugins are used to. For example, the repeater field in ACF lets you define a minimum and maximum for its rows.” (also by @aurooba)
@fabiankaegy chimed in with an issue that’s already on the 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 be the repository owner. https://github.com/ repo: Add ability to limit the number of items within an Inner Blocks area. @proxxim and @aurooba should join the discussion to give developer more scenarios to be sure a new API would cover the use cases.
