Nice addition. Thanks for showing this to us. Do you know if button states - default, hover, and focus - will be part of 6.5? Having these settings in the Style Book would be so much better than having to add these in theme.json. Accessibility…

What great addition. Thank you for sharing this.

Me too, this solves many problems :)

Wonderful getting the aspect ratio for the cover block. I have had a problem in 6.4 with the zoom in image producing blurry images on smaller cover blocks. I don't always want a full screen version! I have been trying to make cover blocks look ok on blog posts with little success. Thanks for your update.

Thanks so much for this news. I watch your videos with interest. I have a question for you: I wonder when "Custom Field Block" will arrive? I think this is a huge shortcoming. There are actually various add-ons on this subject, but naturally it should be added to posts in blocks in WordPress. What do you think about this? Will WordPress developers work on this issue soon?

Hi, it won't be a block , but you'll be able to assign custom fields to existing core blocks (from what i understand)

Thanks Jamie! Nice feature. Could you please make a video about the creation of custom fields? I wonder if we will be able to create them easily without additional plugins such as Metabox or ACF.

@jamiewp

Yup it's on the list btw you can already create custom fields in WordPress without a plugin - but at the moment you'll need a plugin to display them in Gutenberg - check out the meta block plugin :)

This is great, because I've had to make several media queries in the past to make a cover image retain its aspect ratio. Has 6.5 been released?

@jamiewp

5 ай бұрын

It's schedule for the 26th March 👍

If you set a focal point (object-position or background-position) that is much more efficient as it scales into the appropriate part of the object or image when used in cover. With aspect ratio, one has to worry about overflow, but I used it often as well (in code).

I wonder if the new media manager is coming in 6.5. I’ve noticed that some well established plugins are not updated to 6.4 yet. So at this rate they will end up being two versions behind.

Finally another fix that catches Wordpress up to where other website builders have been for years already. Wordpress is slow but at least it is finally moving forward in the right direction.
