WordPress block themes have revolutionized website design, providing unparalleled control through the use of blocks. In this article, we will explore some amazing secrets of block themes that you probably didn’t know existed.
- Mixing Themes for Ultimate Customization: Did you know that you can blend different themes together seamlessly? By combining elements from one theme with another, you can achieve a truly unique and cohesive design. Imagine having the best features of multiple themes in a single website. With a few simple steps, you can replace headers, tweak colors, and create a captivating visual experience.
- Effortlessly Create Custom Post Layouts: Block themes make it a breeze to design custom post layouts. Using tools like the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin, you can easily generate custom post types. Once in the site editor, these templates are readily available for customization. By leveraging the power of blocks, you can transform your post layouts into visually stunning showcases in minutes.
- Explore the Block Pattern Library: WordPress hosts a vast library of block patterns created by the community. These pre-designed layouts offer a wide range of options to enhance your site’s appearance. From magazine grids with featured images to trendy portfolio showcases, the possibilities are endless. Simply select and import the desired pattern, and then customize it to suit your unique style.
- Building Your Own Block Themes Without Code: The days of relying on coding skills to build themes are over. WordPress has made it incredibly easy to create your own block themes without writing a single line of code. With the “Create Block Theme” plugin, you can export your designs as a fully functional theme. This export includes all your page templates, fonts, and design elements, allowing you to share your creations effortlessly.
- Engage Readers with Time-to-Read Estimates: A subtle yet impactful addition in the latest version of Gutenberg is the time-to-read block. This feature calculates the estimated reading time for your posts and displays it to your readers. By providing this information upfront, you empower your audience to make informed decisions about their reading commitments. This simple addition can enhance reader engagement with your content.

Jamie, with regard to building your own block theme, I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) a less formal way to implement a customized theme built for one site on another site is to use the Export tool from the Editor --> Appearance > Editor > Click on the default page to put it into edit mode > Options (ellipsis in upper-right corner of editor) > Export (under the "Tools" section). This kicks out a zip containing your site's theme plus all modifications to the templates and styles. So, if you're not necessarily interested in generating a formal, standalone theme from your customized theme (with all the standard theme doodads like a custom name, image, description, and so on) but would like to use a copy of your existing site theme (including all your theme mods), seems like that's an easy, no-plugin-required way to go (although I'd concede I don't see an installed font management component via this method).

Well, after coming across your channel during my insomnia, four videos in and I am ditching Divi and redesigning my blog in the block theme. I’m glad I found you.

@jamiewp Год назад

Great to have you here Susan :) I know insomnia well, so I know how it feels!

@swbrim Год назад

Was dynamic addition of custom post templates added recently? I don't think it was there last time I looked.

I think block editing is more intuitive for people who have a background in coding, the logical process is the same when you are in the code editor, I haven't touched wordpress in years and just recently had to come back coz we need it for a project at work, and I found this new block editing feature more appealing vs the classic way of doing things. Your channel is very educational and it is our go to channel for learning about WP blocks. Thank you.

@jamiewp Год назад

💯 agree and thanks for watching

@jonbloor8661 Год назад

Some nice new tips there Jamie. You make full site editing look easy! My efforts have been frustrated by a lack of control around things like column widths (setting a minimum size) etc.

@jamiewp Год назад

Hi Jon, do you mean per column?

@ggandthemix 9 месяцев назад

Another fantastic video, Jamie. Thank you! Again, to the point with very helpful and well-crafted examples. If you're looking for suggestions for future videos, I'd love to see "x useful plugins to have along side a Full Site Editor theme" Keep up the good work, Jamie. - Cheers!

@jamiewp 9 месяцев назад

thanks - what kind of sites are you building (as for some you don't need any plugins)

@ggandthemix 9 месяцев назад

@@jamiewp Various types, Jamie, as we have different types of clients. Small biz, not-for-profits, artists, etc. We're used to Divi which has many features we use on most sites, such as MailChimp subscription form integration, beautiful image galleries, flexible/customizable blog layout, etc. I was under the impression that Gutenberg (block) themes came with a small set of "blocks" and one uses free add-ons like Kadence Blocks to augment the power. I could be wrong.

Could you clarify how to mix themes. Do you have two different themes on different sites? Can I active two themes simultaneously on one site?

I only knew about the patterns library. I had never thought about mixing theme parts or the custom post layouts. Some themes already have time to read. One aside - One of the issues of block themes is simply the many traditional themes and reluctance of many vendors in creating a block theme from traditional. I use GeneratePress and they have said they won't do a block theme. I wonder if there is a converter process that would be available? Thanks again.

@jamiewp 10 месяцев назад

Hi - you would need two different websites …although there is now a live preview option with block themes ?

At the widgets under appearance, I get a message saying “The wpex-eb-settings-plug-in has encountered an error and cannot be rendered.” How can I fix this?

@jamiewp Год назад

It sounds like you are using a plugin called wpex - try deactivating

@LMCR1007 Год назад

@@jamiewp I can’t find any plug-in named wpex.

@paulroos8517 Год назад

Thanks. It is for some time now, that I had similar ideas, but I wrote it off, saying to myself, there must be something I don't understand. Having been in IT for decades, I would say Gutenberg blocks is like a 3rd generation language, as in relation to HTML. Your video is so good, I would say your cat deserves a piece of salmon.

Thank you so much 👍
