Calls for Testing 📣

Calls for Testing can originate from any team, from themes to mobile apps to feature plugins. The following posts highlight features and releases that need special attention:

• Did you get a chance to look at the Design Share: Jan 15 – Jan 26 post? All features are already available in Gutenberg 17.6 and it would be great if site builders could test them before they land in WordPress 6.5
  • Improved Lightbox UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. – The lightbox toggle is now part of the link settings for the images, as it’s somewhat a link to the resized view and links and lightbox a mutually exclusive.
  • Cover Aspect Ratio – Applied to the Cover 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. in various forms.
  • Drag & Drop Displacement for moving blocks in the List view
  • Scrolling Top Toolbar is an interesting solution to the problem that we run out of real estate for everything to be placed in the Toolbar when tagged to the top.
• What’s new in Gutenberg 17.6? (31 January) is available to download, if you get chance download and test upcoming features for WP 6.5
