A visual interface to manage Block Bindings in WordPress 6.5
|
Hi Reader, the Block Bindings API is one of the key features in WordPress 6.5. Because it allows you to output the content of post meta fields in Core blocks. This is what a paragraph block bound to a meta field looks like: The big downside though is that only the underlying API is part of WordPress 6.5. So if you want to create a binding, you have to switch to the code view, and manually write out the JSON that establishes the connection: Needless to see the user experience is lacking... A LOT. Therefore I created a plugin that adds a visual interface to manage block bindings. 👉 Watch the Block Bindings UI demo This feature is the first feature of the Block Theme Dev Tools plugin. It's only available for students of the Block Theme Academy. You can download the plugin here. But this feature is only the beginning of all the ideas that I have for this plugin. And this is where I need your help. Which features do you want to see in the plugin? You can let me know by filling out this form. I'm looking forward to your feedback, Cheers, |

Why would you want to use a child theme? With a block theme, you could just use...
Hi Reader, "What is the best starter theme?" is a common question that my readers and students ask. The answer is "it depends". Because there are three options: You choose an opinionated design. You choose a neutral design. You start from scratch. 👉 This video dives into the details Cheers,Fränk P.S. This video is part of a new section I'm adding to my Block Theme Academy course.

Why use source control Using Git or other source control tool to manage your code gives you lots of benefits: Versioning: By tracking every change done to a code base, you can understand how it evolved. You’ll also be able to...
