Hey @imtiazrayhan!

If this ever comes to fruition, there’s an interesting approach pre-Gutenberg (still works as is shortcode based) that can be seen here: https://github.com/fcingolani/wordpress-juxtapose

It uses JuxtaposeJS which is fairly well known, although could be potentially “heavy”

Just thought I’d mention as this popped into my head the other day again 🙂

Thanks @imtiazrayhan 😀

Re: Color scheme – yes, it would be nice for me to set a global default color if possible, that matches my brand colors? That way, only “edge cases” I have to select other colors and instead the stars match my color scheme by “default” if that makes sense?

I know I have the option per post, but if I posted 10+ reviews per day, I would definitely forget at least once :’)

Also:

About the CTA button, we will most probably add an option to turn it off/on.

Thank you! I can confirm that it is working perfectly and looks much better 🙂

Just need the stars now 😀

Hi @imtiazrayhan

I did try saving as draft then previewing – it was still the same.

I have just installed “Public Post Preview” so I can share the post with you. Please see the link below.

One thing I forgot to note! I’m using the Gutenberg plugin (v6.4) as well! There’s some strange behaviour with the input fields (most of the time I can’t focus them!) for the Review block and it looks like deprecated input methods might be being used?

I have now disabled the Gutenberg plugin completely, to avoid the input field issues (wp.editor -> wp.blockEditor) and I’m still seeing the backend and frontend not matching up.
Backend: https://snipboard.io/ZqSTnw.jpg
Frontend: https://willstocks.co.uk/?p=2943&preview=1&_ppp=bb1b3a7b15 & https://snipboard.io/7ROMkU.jpg

Gutenberg Plugin errors:

wp.data.select( 'core/editor' ).getBlock is deprecated. Please use wp.data.select( 'core/block-editor' ).getBlock instead.

wp.editor.RichText is deprecated. Please use wp.blockEditor.RichText instead.

wp.editor.withColors is deprecated. Please use wp.blockEditor.withColors instead.

Hi @adegans – thanks for the response. Cloudflare can also fulfil full page caching as well (I’m currently set up to use that). It’s not default but it can/does do it (in a similar vein to W3TC – but without the option for fragment caching). Essentially, whatever is loaded in HTML on the first page load = what is delivered to consecutive visitors.
For the time being, I’ve implemented a really simple piece of javascript with two ads that are not served via any plugin. This JS is called on page load and randomises the order of the ads shown without the reliance on PHP.

Hi Thomas,
OK, that’s good to know – thank you. I will bear this in mind.
For the time being, I’ve implemented a vanilla js script to rotate the two ad units I have (they had equal weighting) and will consider Advanced Ads Pro as I expand my creatives, as I’d like to be able to ideally tie together ads displayed on a particular page (for instance, in a “sponsored” page/post, I’d like all ad units to show for the company that sponsored that page/post)
Thanks!

The GitHub deploy is a manual deploy isn’t it – it won’t get updates via wp-admin now? If I just wait for the next full release and re-install via wp-admin I’ll be all sorted moving forwards? Or will the GitHub release also be covered by wp-admin plugin updates?
