In reply to: [Gutenberg] Absolutely hate it from developer POVHi there. There is definitely a steep learning curve to development for and around the block editor, especially if JavaScript is not your primary development language. It’s hard to be a newbie again and learn something new. Many people have a love/hate relationship with JavaScript.
Are there any specific problems, you are setting out to solve? A few developers who have gone before you, are available at the Gutenberg Developer Hours, on March 8th (tomorrow) and on March 22. Bring your problems, your questions, and your code, and discuss them with the expert panelists. There are more developer-centric events planned on the meetup group.
Also, you might appreciate Ryan Welcher’s TwitchStream recording on YouTube with live coding session building blocks and other block editor related topics. I learned quite a bit from them.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Absolute garbage.Thanks for your feedback and your review. Sorry, you had some frustrating experience as a new user of the block editor. What specifically do you find not working?
You don’t have to drag & drop blocks around, you can just start typing and hit enter as you do in the classic editor. If the toolbar on the block is in your way you can make it a top toolbar via the 3 dot menu on the right. You don’t have to design anything until you are done writing.If you are open to additional more specific conversation about how to transition from the classic editor to the block editor as a site owner, or writer, I’d be happy to connect some more.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] bad is an understatement here.Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry, you still feel that way. What if not improving the editor, would be ‘reasonable problems’ in your view?Obviously, the contributors to WordPress feel opposite to you; otherwise they wouldn’t have worked on it for the last five years and wouldn’t have published 120 releases.
Imagine the block editor will stay around for all the years to come. What would be the most important quirks to solve, so it could start working for you, too?

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Absolute rubbishHi Alex,
Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry, you still feel that way after it has been merged into core a few years ago. It would be helpful to other users as well, if you could spend a bit of a time and be a bit more as you “What particular ‘intuitive’ features are missing now in comparison to before?Your notes would be appreciated.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Gutenberg is very challenging for usage habitsHi there,
Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry, you had this bad experience. I would be interested in learning more of what you attempted to do with the editor and what you find missing. What particular habits, where you can not replace adequately with the block editor? Maybe I can give you a few hints, after having used it for quite a bit. I do remember there were a few key shortcuts I had to relearn and it took a while to optimize for speed and ‘muscle memory’.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] WordPress moves from CMS to site builder@tflight thank you so much for your comments. Why can’t it be both, doesn’t have to be CMS or Page builder. Some developer actually use WordPress for their headless implementation.
We hear about the problems for theme developer especially with the changes in 5.9.
I am wondering if you go the time to check out the new Theme.json Globel Styles and Block Settings that allows you to control the site editor including disabling some block settings like Drop Cap or custom colors.
Now that the framework for full-site editing is released there is also an overall Proposal on GitHub that could use your constructive input: Proposal: Standardized block markup, theme.json design tokens, and CSS classes to improve interoperability
As for CMS, nothing that you are accustomed to is going away: You can still create custom post types, themes, and plugins. As long as you don’t create a block theme, there isn’t much that will get in your way.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Never so awful as thisHi @matssparky
Sorry for your adoption pain with the block editor. You are right, it has changed very often, and there has been revisions to the styling.There are two developments, I wanted you to be aware off:
Now that the full-site editing experience is at least in it foundation released, there are a few initiatives on revamping the styling especially for theme developers. Mark Root-Wiley published a proposal that could use your consideration and input “Proposal: Standardized block markup, theme.json design tokens, and CSS classes to improve interoperability”The other is a feature that has been newly released with version 1 in 5.8 and version 2 in 5.9 and that is using theme.json to control the block editor. The documentation page is available in the handbook: Global Settings & Styles (theme.json).
It is now much easier to switch off pieces of the block settings and controls, with just as few lines.
Hope this gives you a little hope of things to get settled soon later this year when all the site editor and theme changes are more refined.
You are certainly welcome. Let me know how I can help.

In reply to: Can’t Remove Google Tag Manager from SiteAs this seems to be, in fact, related to the plugin nitro pack you might need to ask in the plugin’s support forum

In reply to: Can’t add new menu’s, categories and tagsHi there,
It might be that your capabilities might have changed?
I assume you were able to do all those things before, and then something changed.To learn more about user capabilities, here is a support article about those.
Your site owner or administrator might be able to help you with this…

In reply to: Adding options to group blockHi there,
To add options to a core block, you would need to ‘extend’ the specific block.
Developer Handbook has this page: Extending the Block editorThis page from the Developer Handbook, “Block Controls: Toolbar and Settings Sidebar“, should get you started on offering your users controls for your additional options.

In reply to: Customizer not showing under Appearance when using block themeWhile it’s true that there is no menu item for the Customizer, you can still access it by adding ‘/wp-admin/customize.php’ to your site’s URL
Or you click on- Appearance > Themes and
- use the “Customize” button on the TT1 Blocks Theme card.

Hi there,
If I understand the problem correctly, this seems to be a known issue. The team closed it as there was a work around.add_filter('rest_url', function ($url) { $url = str_replace(home_url(), site_url(), $url); return $url; });It might not match your use case entirely. Maybe it gets you started on the right track?

In reply to: Navigation block not available in editor@style960 This was bugging me again, and I did some further testing. This is what I found:
Block based navigation in WordPress 5.8
Only the “Navigation Menu Block” would be available in the Widget Screen. You would need to create a menu viaAppearance > Menusand that will be available via drop down list.This is not yet available in the Post Block Editor. That’s what I mis read earlier
Post Block Editor
- WordPress 5.8 – only provides a Page List block
- Gutenberg Plugin – has two Navigation blocks available for the block editor out of the box: Navigation (horizontal) and Navigation (vertical)
Navigation Screen is part of the Gutenberg Plugin Experiments and needs to be switch on
This might be a bit confusing, I am afraid. The reason is that the navigation block and screen are still under active development and only is partially available for users.
I asked in the WP Slack channel (#eature-navigation-block-editor) if there is a method to enable the “Navigation Menu Block” as well for the post editor and will update this thread, with the answer.
All the best, Birgit
