@hellofromtonya suggested to bring this topic to the weekly Core DevChat for broader discussion on how to do faster, more frequent minor releases to ship fixes faster.
This post summarizes the top pieces of feedback of the current experience to help inform the next steps and as a follow-up to various previous editions. Compared to the previous related posts (March 2021, July 2021), this one seeks to focus on more specific and common items different types of folks might try to accomplish rather than more general themes that continue to come up. This is to help provide more specifics to designers and developers working on these various related features. The aim is that by examining FSE from the vantage point of common flows, contributors can improve specific features in a way that brings everything together intuitively. For example, this doesn’t go into depth around problems that come up when using FSE at scale, like needing to have more ability to sort templates.
Keep in mind that this post is simply a snapshot in time and is inherently going to leave out aspects of the experience that haven’t been the subject of calls for testing. It’s also not going to go into great detail about all of the hard work already done to address these items, whether through PRs or sharing designs that offer solutions.
Provide a better setup state when creating a new template or template part
When creating a new template or template part, the initial options offered to users are quite limited and, after creation, it’s not clear how to fully apply what was just created across the site. Tied to this, the difference between the Template editor in the Site Editor vs the Post Editor continues to be jarring with folks not clear around when and how best to use each at a glance.
Provide better initial default options after creating a template or template part. This could be prioritizing patterns or starting with the closest template in the template hierarchy.
When replacing the current template part, make it clearer which one is currently in use.
Unless you add a container 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. when creating a new template, any text runs to the edges. Below is a quick video example:
The most immediate issue when creating a new author template is that it was devoid of default blocks. Where was the—at minimum—headerHeaderThe header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. and footer? The empty template would make sense if I was building something from scratch. However, this is not a from-scratch project. It was built from a theme with existing archive.htmlHTMLHyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers. and index.html files, ancestors in the template hierarchy. Since the author template is merely a more specific version of the archive template, it should be a copy of its “parent” in the hierarchy. Users will most likely want to make modifications rather than start from scratch. Using an ancestor template as a base means that they are less likely to unnecessarily deviate from the existing layout, especially with more complex designs.
Unify the Template Editor in the Post Editor with the Site Editor
For example, a template for posts/pages can only be added via the Template Editor in the Post Editor rather than in the Site Editor. This difference in functionality isn’t made clear at any point though, leading some to not be aware of the Template Editor in the Post Editor at all. Below is a short video discussing some of the differences:
The slightly different variations of the template editing screen were just too confusing for me. As someone who has been trying to work in the FSE for a few months now, I was completely thrown off by the slightly different screen you got when you launch the template editor directly from a post vs the template editor you get when you go to edit site, and then select a template to edit.
Improve the process of applying and viewing a template in action
After creating a new template that you might want to use for a page/post, it’s not clear that you have to assign it to that post/page. To ease this workflow, after a user creates a new template, they could be prompted to apply it to all child pages of a parent page. The same is true for creating new template parts and needing to actually apply them to each template you might want to use it in.
On a related note, after someone creates an author template or date template, they would have to know the relative link for their site to see the template in action. It would be great to connect the dots a bit more in the interface so that folks can see their changes after a new template has been created. This came up during a recent call for testing around creating an author template with folks not knowing how to see the template without being linked to an example.
I really do not know which template affects which pages/posts. So I assume that a Page template affects all the pages.
Make it clearer that editing a template part will update everywhere it’s used
Currently, it’s very easy to edit a template part without realizing any changes you make can potentially have a site-wide impact. This touches on a few issues:
Tied into this is the general experience of when and why to use template part focus mode, since the advantages of doing so aren’t always clear and the general mode matches the appearance of the Template Editor in the Post Editor (dark background, back button, etc).
I went down a weird rabbit hole where I couldn’t figure out why we had the header block and the header template parts. I mean, what if I wanted to have two different headers with wildly different information in them? Whenever I changed the main header block (anything living inside it), it changed it in all the header template parts, and I found that very confusing and frustrating. I ended up removing the header block inside the header templates and keeping things just in groups. That made way more sense to me.
Building off of a need to have more granular information in multi-entity saving for Styles, the following are repeat items that have continued to come up:
Offer a way to save changes as a draft and schedule changes. This is greatly missed from the CustomizerCustomizerTool built into WordPress core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use it to preview and modify many of your site’s appearance settings..
Placeholders need to be greatly improved as folks are accidentally deleting theme blocks like the Post Content block not realizing that it’s what will display their actual content in the template itself. The more robust the placeholders can be, the more visual clarity there can be between editing a template vs post/page. Keep in mind that when user content is displayed but not editable, there needs to be a clear way for folks to understand why they can’t edit their content directly.
I found it a bit strange adding a featured imageFeatured imageA 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. block and a duotone 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. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. without seeing what the result would look like.
Ease the process of editing a template for currently viewed page/post
When you are viewing a page, it’s not always clear what template is currently in use, and it takes numerous steps just to get to a specific template in use outside of your homepage (wp-adminadmin(and super admin) > Appearance > Editor > W Menu > Templates > Select correct template). There are a few issues related to this to explore, including:
Without using the Site Icon block, there’s not a current way to set this for your site. It’s also not clear that one has to add that block and that, after adding it, you’ll see an option to set your site icon.
Provide consistent dimension controls across blocks
In nearly every call for testing, folks are left wondering why certain controls exist in some blocks and not in others. This current experience of dimension controls needs to be standardized and expanded appropriately.
The different controls for different blocks makes it really hard to make something that is consistent and nice. I decided it would be cool to make the user pictures a little bit bigger, like that might make the comments more inviting. Since I made the commenters pictures so big, I said, let’s add in a Post Author block so that the post author’s picture will be shown too! Wait, the AvatarAvatarAn avatar is an image or illustration that specifically refers to a character that represents an online user. It’s usually a square box that appears next to the user’s name. block in the Comments Query loopLoopThe Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop. and the Post Author have completely different control? I can make the avatar any size, but the post author I have a dropdown with 3 choices? I can but a border radius on the avatar block, but not the post author block? If it’s a picture, I should have all the same tools available to me as any other block that uses a picture.
Offer more ways to see how changing Styles will impact the entire site
The Styles system is powerful and vast to the point that the current experience makes it difficult to know just how much is being adjusted with a few clicks:
Improve the experience of changing font sizes using the default options
Whether you’re selecting from the default options or trying to set a custom size, the UXUXUser experience is fairly quirky. Finding the custom size option is somewhat cumbersome and, if you select one of the default sizes but want to switch back, you have to “reset” the font selection from the ellipsis menu. The presentation of the font sizes isn’t easily known either, with “t-shirt” sizes currently being considered. Regardless, this is an extremely basic action to take that now takes numerous steps to complete as the video below demonstrates:
Ease switching to a block theme/between block themes
Switching to or between a block theme should feel seamless and there are a few issues to help get the experience where it needs to be:
This covers a large number of use cases, from using the same width for the rest of your content in a new template to wanting to have a site logo next to a site title. Beyond relying on patterns to set a header or footer layout, it’s incredibly difficult to create your own as you often need to use a group/row/stack block first and foremost. From there, getting the spacing right is incredibly difficult. This is true of individual experiences like with the Navigation Block and of trying to combine multiple blocks into one layout:
Users who want to even slightly change the spacing and positioning of content have to have deep knowledge of container blocks, design tools (often locked away in ellipsis menus), and the spacer block. While the spacer block is the most user-friendly option for controlling spacing, the problems below remain:
It’s not clear when to use spacer blocks.
Spacer blocks often aren’t robust enough.
Design tools are hidden in the ellipsis menu.
It’s not clear if one needs to use container blocks to have more control over layout/spacing.
Still trying to get “edge space” – ie margin from edge to orange borders I tried toggling on the “inherit default layout” This didnt make any different to the margin. It just changed the padding. I also added a zero to the block spacing field. Nothing changed. I tried changing the layout toggle to 80 % wide. This changed the internal padding of the block and didnt move the block away from the edges…Why are some settings in the block toolbar and some in the inspector? Why aren’t the same settings (where appropriate) in all similar blocks – ie padding, margins, width available in both groups, and columns?

Mark and other theme developers have seen feedback that hints how editor devs (in some cases) don’t want to “allow” others to modify layout or logical decisions through the use of code in themes or plugins. By blocking access to allow themes and plugins to override what should be simple core CSS rules, we’re being forced towards a complete deactivation of core CSS in some projects. It’s admirable to release devs from the burden of basic CSS by way of the Style Engine, but there are limitless requirements for custom-built themes which neither belong in core, nor which can be solved by a generic APIAPIAn API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways..

More variations
Blocks are now easily grouped into either a Stack layout (vertical) or a Row layout (horizontal) with a single click. These flex-based containers allow for responsiveness at default for your content, especially when combined. From the 6.0 dev notedev noteEach important change in WordPress Core is documented in a developers note, (usually called dev note). Good dev notes generally include:
a description of the change;
the decision that led to this change
a description of how developers are supposed to work with that change.
Dev notes are published on Make/Core blog during the beta phase of WordPress release cycle. Publishing dev notes is particularly important when plugin/theme authors and WordPress developers need to be aware of those changes.In general, all dev notes are compiled into a Field Guide at the beginning of the release candidate phase. on Block markup updates for image, quote, list and group blocks:
It’s a flex container, meaning it has access to content justifications and block spacing. If combined with the Row block and its ability to optionally wrap onto new lines, it can enable basic responsive behaviors, such as two columns that stack to a single column on smaller displays.

The video below brings the entire experience together:
More design options
To customize things more, you can play with gap support, margin, typography options, and more. For margin and padding, thanks to Gutenberg 13.2 (not coming to 6.0), you can more readily visualize your changes too. Here’s a video from the release notes:
Lock when done
When you have things exactly as you want them, you can lock whatever pieces you’d like of your creation to prevent removal or movement from the overall container blocks discussed above to individual blocks within. This is a great way to preserve your layout. Here’s a quick visual from a previous release post:

There have been some requests for the addition of spacing presets in Gutenberg, similar to the font size presets that are already available, to allow theme designers to specify a select list of spacing values that can be applied to blocks.
It would be good to get some design feedback on this, in terms of the feasibility of adding this to the UIUIUser interface, and how the UI for this might be structured.
I think there has been some ongoing discussion about the suitability of the current UI for selecting the font size presets, so would be good not to repeat any problems that might exist there.

[Type] Impacts Adoption
@marybaum I like Adoption Blocker. Could also make it active: Blocks Adoption. @fabiankaegy I also like the idea of that. Though it is difficult to really gauge the actual impact it has on the party that is blocked from adoption. I guess I’d like to understand what requirements a ticketticketCreated for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. needs to fulfill in order to “justify” getting that label applied. @tomasztunik I think if people had this at the back of their heads when triaging issues or evaluating feature requests this could shift the perspective toward the product and ecosystem more than the problem itself. Like another “standard” question to ask yourself when evaluating something. @priethor This is an example of an issue that would need that label: something already existing in WP but that Gutenberg doesn’t support, preventing Gutenberg adoption and users needing to stick with classic implementations: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/3144 @mikachan Another alternative for the label itself could be ‘migrationMigrationMoving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies. blocker’ (or ‘impacts migration’ / ‘blocks migration’).
This is a thought-provoking question that I asked earlier in #6-0-release-leads (SlackSlackSlack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/.). When we fix bugs in Gutenberg (and also in Core), they can have unintended consequences when users upgrade to the new versions where the bugs have been fixed. Thought I would share it here as well.
