Catch FSE Is a Bold, Business-Friendly WordPress Block Theme – WP Tavern

And another theme shop hops on the block bandwagon. Catch Themes’ first block-based theme, Catch FSE, landed on WordPress.org over the weekend. The company is one of the most prolific authors in the official WordPress theme directory, touting a total of 109 themes. There are only a few others with such an impressive body of […]

How To Build Coupon Cards With WordPress Blocks – WP Tavern

Last year, I designed several patterns for showcasing coupon codes on a site. They were part of a larger theme project that I never finished.

WordPress Should Support Featured Images for Categories, Users, and More – WP Tavern

WordPress 6.0 Might Ship a Feature for Picking a Block Pattern on Page Creation – WP Tavern

I once said that full-page patterns were the missing link for block theme development.

This may be changing when WordPress 6.0 ships next […]

Displaying Post Modified and Reading Times via WordPress Blocks – WP Tavern

A couple of weeks ago, Rich Tabor announced a GitHub repository that listed all of his block plugins. These were already publicly available. However, some had yet to land in the WordPress plugin directory. As a fan of his simple approach to block design, I was quick to start tinkering with them. One of those […]

How To Build Book and Book Review Cards with WordPress Blocks – WP Tavern

I was neck-deep into the block system during the months leading up to its debut in 2018. This also just happened to coincide with the first November I had ever completed National Novel Writing Month, a 30-day challenge to write a 50,000-word first draft of a novel. I have since won a second time in […]

Snow Monkey Editor Plugin Adds Custom Styles to WordPress Core Blocks – WP Tavern

In the early days after the block editor landed in WordPress, block collection plugins exploded on the scene and were quick to rack up hundreds of thousands of users. Plugins like CoBlocks, Kadence Blocks, and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg offer dozens of blocks in one package, focusing mostly on blocks not offered in core. WordPress.org’s […]
