Discussions about the best way to do this have been happening for the past two years and now are gaining some momentum.</p>



<p>&#8220;Right now it&#8217;s possible to add video backgrounds, colored overlays, etc, to the Cover block alone,&#8221; Matias Ventura said in 2019 <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/16479">ticket</a> on the UI for background tools. &#8220;It would make sense to extract this and extend to other container blocks (group and columns, for example) as well as expanding the features.&#8221;</p>



<p>Gutenberg contributor Andrew Serong has created a draft <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/39243">exploratory PR</a> for adding opt-in, server-rendered background support for blocks, which would save background image values to the block&#8217;s <code>style</code> attribute in a <code>backgroundImage</code> key. Serong created the PR as a rough, experimental approach and published a few screenshots of how the inspector controls might fit in. However, Gutenberg designers are working on a more refined design for background support in the editor.</p>



<p>Today, Gutenberg designers Joen Asmussen and Javier Arce published a <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39427">GitHub issue</a> with their vision for a complete reorganization of background controls that includes layer management, layer reordering, and support for filters/blend modes.</p>



<p>&#8220;The core idea is to group all the layers (both overlays and media layer) inside a single sidebar section called Background, abstracting the organization of the Cover Block layers on the canvas and simplifying the block sidebar,&#8221; Arce said.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><img /></div>



<p>These new designs intersect with the goal of expanding background support for use in other blocks beyond the Cover block. There are many other considerations that splinter out of adding background image support to blocks, which contributors have noted in the <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/discussions/38119">discussions</a>. These include features like the ability to add a body background image to block themes, specify a color palette to be used for background colors, and the ability to add multiple background images.  </p>



<p>Expanding background image support and refining the UI for background controls is still a little ways off, but the project is starting to make significant steps  forward. This will be an exciting addition that will markedly expand users&#8217; ability to customize blocks.  </p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Mon, 14 Mar 2022 20:12:42 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Sarah Gooding";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:39;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<h2 id="1-building-themes-for-full-site-editing">Building Themes for Full Site Editing. </h2>



<p>In her latest video, <strong>Anne McCarthy</strong> is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMbrGDD-27Q"><strong>Exploring types of WordPress Themes in a full site editing world</strong></a>. Some features of the full-site editing experience are also useful even if you don&#8217;t use or build a block theme. McCarthy takes a deep dive into the different types of themes that are now possible with WordPress</p>



<ul><li><strong>Classic theme:</strong> a theme built the way we’ve been used to with PHP templates, functions.php, and more.</li><li><strong>Block theme:</strong> a theme made for FSE using HTML templates and theme.json, allowing one to manage all parts of their site with blocks.</li><li><strong>Hybrid theme</strong>: a classic theme that adopts a feature(s) of FSE, like theme.json or the template editor.</li><li><strong>Universal theme:</strong> a theme that works with both the Customizer and the Site Editor.</li></ul>



<p>McCarthy goes through some examples to elaborate on these categorizations and then also provides a glimpse of the future. </p>

<p><a href="https://twitter.com/schutzsmith/status/1502356892324179972">Daniel Schutzsmith responded</a>:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>I&#8217;m just not seeing the need for more than one theme for FSE as long as I can override the look of it.</p><p>Would appreciate someone explaining why one theme like @frostwp COULDN&#8217;T just be the standard.</p><p>Making more themes feels like it defeats the concept of FSE altogether.</p></blockquote>



<p>It is not the first time someone asked whether more than one block theme is necessary. In 2019, Rich Tabor <a href="https://richtabor.com/the-future-of-wordpress-themes/">proposed adding a base theme</a> to WordPress itself, one upon which others would be built, if at all.</p>



<p>Even that was not the first time someone had pondered similar one-theme utopias throughout the platform&#8217;s history. Many framework-style parent themes have all made a run for it.</p>



<p>Let us assume for a moment that WordPress has reached a state where all themes no longer need custom PHP and CSS code. We are nowhere near that point yet, but we can imagine such a day might be possible in the relatively distant future. In this ideal world, templating, styling, theme-supported features, and plugin integration are neatly packaged into something configurable from the admin. In practice, users could control any aspect of their site&#8217;s front-end through the interface.</p>



<p>The problem is that someone still needs to make those customizations, and not everyone has a knack for design. One person&#8217;s ability does not automatically translate to all other users.</p>



<p>Perhaps a more crucial point is that not everyone wants to customize their site&#8217;s design. Some people simply want to find something that suits their style and move along.</p>



<p>There are alternative routes for arriving at the same destination, but themes are currently the only reliable vehicle.</p>



<p>Schutzsmith <a href="https://twitter.com/schutzsmith/status/1502417086106292226">tweeted the following</a> in response to Jamie Marsland, who <a href="https://twitter.com/pootlepress/status/1502401847138697221">likened the notion</a> to asking Picasso for the canvas instead of the finished painting:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Themes and swapping out the whole thing is an old way of thinking. Sure a theme could = painting but I&#8217;m saying why can&#8217;t we just swap out the theme.json and get the same result? Why the need for themes at all when all we need to change is theme.json.</p></blockquote>



<p>That is a future that I would not mind striving for. It is not insurmountable, but there is an uphill climb that WordPress will undoubtedly struggle with. Without a <a href="https://wptavern.com/the-case-for-a-shared-css-toolkit-in-wordpress">standardized CSS toolkit</a> in place, switching <code>theme.json</code> files simply does not work. If WordPress tackles that problem, it takes us one step closer.</p>



<p>But <code>theme.json</code> only represents settings and styles. It says nothing about the structure of a website. Pre-configured templates are still necessary. Right now, that job sits squarely on top of the theme author&#8217;s shoulders.</p>



<p>If and when a well-designed user experience for <a href="https://wptavern.com/full-page-patterns-are-still-the-missing-piece-of-block-wordpress-theme-development">full-page patterns</a> lands in WordPress (<a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/38787">related ticket</a>), the template argument becomes less relevant. With such a system in place and enough variety from the pattern directory, some users might not require themes to handle this.</p>



<img /><a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/18055">Starter page templates proposal.</a>



<p>The only worthwhile argument I have for multiple &#8212; even 1,000s of &#8212; themes is the promise they make to the user: <em>install this thing, and you get this result</em>.</p>



<p>For example, a pizzeria owner installs WordPress on their site and begins looking for a design for their online presence. This is likely someone working all day in a hot kitchen and comes home exhausted at night. However, they hop on the computer to update tomorrow&#8217;s specials or tinker with a new homepage layout for a few minutes. Everything about that experience should be catered to their use case.  As an owner, chef, spouse, and parent, they need to quickly get things done and spend the rest of the night with their family.</p>



<p>This and 1,000s of similar scenarios are why themes are as important today as they ever were. Not everyone has the privilege of time, the skillset, or the inclination to piece their sites together.</p>



<p>When done well, block themes offer a controlled experience that cuts out all the cruft. They feel like they were built for <em>an audience of one</em> while being flexible enough for public release.</p>



<p>Schutzsmith <a href="https://twitter.com/schutzsmith/status/1502419277625888770">later tweeted</a> in the thread that he liked <a href="https://elementor.com/library/">Elementor&#8217;s Kits</a>. These are predesigned website designs that span multiple industries.</p>



<p>Pattern category types, which are not currently in WordPress, could evolve into that role. The <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/block-pattern-explorer/">Block Pattern Explorer</a> plugin enables the feature, but themes must add support for the types to appear.</p>



<p>In the following screenshot, I have created a &#8220;Profile Cards&#8221; type in a theme of mine, but it could be industry-specific:</p>



<img />Block pattern category types.



<p>It should be as easy as locating an industry-specific type and finding patterns for the pizzeria owner. A theme can offer that by either packaging patterns or pointing to those hosted in the directory.</p>



<p>I could see this evolving into more of a kit-like solution.</p>



<p>I disagree with Schutzsmith&#8217;s conclusion of needing only a single theme but not the questions he is asking. Our design community cannot simply say that themes should be &#8220;this one thing&#8221; because that is what they have always been. Its members need to continually ask: <em>What is a WordPress theme?</em></p>



<p>The answer may be different to various groups of creators and users. If someone can get everything they need from the pattern directory without switching from Twenty Twenty-Two, maybe themes are irrelevant. If a creator simply likes building global style variations (<code>theme.json</code> files), WordPress should make it easy to use them on a wide range of sites.</p>



<p>However, many users will still need turnkey design solutions, and themes can be the best way to facilitate that.  I do not know if that is 100, 1,000 or 5,000, but we will see how it goes.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Sat, 12 Mar 2022 03:57:37 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Justin Tadlock";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:41;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

The San Diego-based startup has raised <a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/search/funding_rounds/field/organizations/funding_total/gometa">$36.1M</a>, most recently securing $20M in a funding round led by Jump Capital. Koji has attracted 150,000 users since its official launch in March 2021. It offers a way for creators on TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, and other social media platforms to monetize their followings.</p>



<p>&#8220;WordPress, along with the bloggers and creators it supports, is a cornerstone of the modern creator economy,&#8221; Koji CEO Dmitry Shapiro said. &#8220;This integration is a massive addition to the power and extensibility of WordPress, giving bloggers a frictionless and intuitive way to incorporate Koji mini apps in their content strategies.&#8221;</p>



<p>The new plugin introduces a Koji App block that gives users access to Koji&#8217;s app store and 200+ web-based mini apps. The apps offer a wide array of interactive functionality, such as e-commerce, games, video guestbook, calendar scheduling, NFT storefronts, billboards, and more.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><img />Koji App Store in the Block Editor</div>



<p>Although the plugin&#8217;s description page says that it allows users to &#8220;embed any Koji app,&#8221; it&#8217;s not explicit about how that looks on the frontend. The app store launches in an overlay where you select and customize the app. In testing the plugin, I found that when when you insert the app into your WordPress site, it just shows up as a black button that says &#8220;My Koji App.&#8221; You can customize the button&#8217;s color and text, but that&#8217;s about it. The button launches the app in a lightbox-style overlay on top of the page content.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><img />Koji App display on the frontend</div>



<p>The image above is a screenshot of two buttons that Koji inserted representing a Tip Jar app and an Ask Me Anything app. There is no way to differentiate the two besides editing the text. </p>



<p>The screenshots on the plugin&#8217;s details page show how the app is launched over the content, but it doesn&#8217;t show what users see on the page before they click the link. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><img /></div>



<p>I was not particularly impressed with this first version of the plugin, as it seems to misrepresent what it actually does. The plugin places links in plain black buttons that will launch an iframe of the Koji app on the page. It doesn&#8217;t make much use of the block editor&#8217;s customization features, nor does it provide any kind of visual preview of the app on the page. Even a small thumbnail preview would be far superior to a plain black button. </p>



<p>The plugin says that embedding these apps allows users to &#8220;sell downloadable files, sell custom video requests like shoutouts and birthday greetings, embed games that can be played by visitors, and more.&#8221; It does make it possible for users to do these things in the iframe popup, but the plugin doesn&#8217;t provide any kind of preview for these apps that would compel a visitor to click on them. </p>



<p>The Koji Block plugin offers a nominal integration between the Koji platform and WordPress, but misses an opportunity to display visually appealing previews within content. For an app platform with hundreds of colorful, interactive apps, the plain black button method of displaying them is uninspiring. </p>



<p>Koji collects fees on apps with e-commerce capabilities. If you are looking to collect donations or sell products on your WordPress site, there are many more homegrown (and visually appealing) ways to do so. This plugin is best-suited to creators who are already heavily using the Koji platform and want a simple way to link to an app from WordPress.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Sat, 12 Mar 2022 03:02:04 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:13:"Sarah Gooding";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:42;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<h2 id="h-an-app-store-for-wordpress-com">An App Store for WordPress — .com?</h2>



<p><strong>Donna Cavalier</strong> <a href="https://wordpress.com/blog/2022/03/08/the-future-of-plugin-themes-and-services-purchases-on-wordpress-com/">recently announced</a> on the <strong>WordPress.com</strong> blog that &#8220;instant purchases of plugins, themes, and even services&#8221; are &#8220;coming soon&#8221; to WordPress.com. In fact, they are coming &#8220;right within&#8221; the WordPress.com dashboard. </p>



<p>The new App Store-like experience is described as providing an integrated and &#8220;curated selection&#8221; of the &#8220;best&#8221; plugins, &#8220;premium&#8221; themes, and services. &#8220;Professional help&#8221; is mentioned too, along with &#8220;managed&#8221; plugins and themes.</p>



<p>WordPress plugin and theme developers can fill out a form within the announcement to get on an &#8220;early access list.&#8221; We signed up and will share what we learn in the future.</p>



<p>Some of our members in <strong>Post Status Slack</strong> feel like this is indeed an &#8220;App Store for WordPress.&#8221; Notably, <strong>Matt Mullenweg</strong> is quoted in the announcement:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>And of course, we will prioritize working with developers and companies who participate in Five for the Future and contribute back to the WP community.</p></blockquote>



<p>We will see what &#8220;prioritize&#8221; means in this context in the days ahead. We'll keep an eye on the terms of use as they emerge and look at how they contrast with <a href="https://woocommerce.com/partner-agreement/">the fine print regarding partnerships on the WooCommerce store</a>.</p>

<p>The <strong>Performance Lab </strong>plugin <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/03/07/the-performance-lab-plugin-has-been-released/">has been released</a>! </p>



<p>As <strong>Felix Arntz</strong> from the core <strong>Performance Team</strong> explains, this plugin is a collection of performance-related “feature projects” for WordPress core. This &#8220;beta&#8221; plugin includes several modules including <strong>WebP Uploads</strong> (which creates a <strong>WebP</strong> version for new <strong>JPEG</strong> image uploads), <strong>WebP Support</strong> (which adds a check to <strong>Site Health</strong>), <strong>Persistent Object Cache Health Check</strong>, and <strong>Audit Enqueued Assets</strong>, which adds a <strong>CSS</strong> and <strong>JS</strong> resource check to the Site Health status.</p>

<h2>Mitch Callahan's Agency Journey with Saucal</h2>



<p>This week we had a chance to chat with Post Status member <strong>Mitch Callahan</strong> while diving into <a href="https://dothewoo.io/10-year-plus-woocommerce-agency/">a bit of the secret sauce behind his agency</a>, <strong>Saucal</strong>, which specializes in WooCommerce. When asked about his lofty goal of driving more <strong>Fortune 500</strong>s onto Woo, Mitch replied:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>“Things tend to fall into place. WooCommerce started off really small and now we've definitely entered the mid-market, and I think it's one of the most lucrative spots for WooCommerce, and I think it's only a matter of time before we move into the really high-end enterprise market. And it's already happening.”</p></blockquote>

The whitepaper aggregates data from multiple sources, including the <a href="https://patchstack.com/database/">Patchstack Vulnerability Database</a>, the Patchstack Alliance (the company&#8217;s bug bounty platform), and publicy reported CVEs from other sources. </p>



<p>In 2021, Patchstack recorded nearly 1,500 vulnerabilities, a 150% increase as compared to 2020, which recorded ~600. Patchstack found that the majority of these come from the WordPress.org directory:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>The WordPress.org repository leads the way as the primary source for WordPress plugins and themes. Vulnerabilities in these components represented 91.79% of vulnerabilities added to the Patchstack database.</p><p>The remaining 8.21% of the reported vulnerabilities in 2021 were reported in premium or paid versions of the WordPress plugins or themes that are sold through other marketplaces like Envato, ThemeForest, Code Canyon, or made available for direct download only.</p></blockquote>



<p>WordPress core shipped four security releases, and only one included a patch for a critical vulnerability. This particular vulnerability was not in WordPress itself but rather in one of its bundled open source libraries, the PHPMailer library.</p>



<p>Patchstack estimates that 99.31% of all security bugs from 2021 were in components &#8211; WordPress plugins and themes. Themes had the most critical vulnerabilities, logging 55 this year. Patchstack found that 12.4% of vulnerabilities reported in themes had a critical CVSS score of 9.0-10.0. Arbitrary file upload vulnerabilities were the most common.</p>



<p>Plugins had a total of 35 critical security issues. This is fewer vulnerabilities compared to themes, but 29% of these received no public patch. </p>



<p>&#8220;The most surprising finding was really also the most unfortunate truth,&#8221; Patchstack Security Advocate Robert Rowley said. &#8220;I was not expecting to see so many plugins with critical vulnerabilities in them not receive patches. </p>



<p>&#8220;Some of those vulnerabilities required no authentication to perform, and  have publicly available proof of concepts (exploit code) made widely available online. It is probably already too late for the site owners who did not get a notice that their websites were vulnerable.&#8221;</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><img /><a href="https://patchstack.com/whitepaper/the-state-of-wordpress-security-in-2021/">Patchstack: State of WordPress Security in 2021</a></div>



<p>Patchstack surveyed 109 WordPress site owners and found that 28% of respondents had zero budget for security, 27% budgeted $1-3/month, and just 7% budget ~$50/month. Agencies were more likely to allocate monthly costs to security than individual site owners.</p>



<p>Conversely, results from these same respondents showed$613 as the average cost of malware removal. Post-compromise cleanup prices reported ranged from $50 &#8211; $4,800.</p>



<p>Rowley sees the significant increase in security vulnerabilities found in 2021 as evidence of more engaged security professionals, not a sign of the WordPress ecosystem becoming less secure.</p>



<p>&#8220;Most likely this is due to more security bugs being reported (more vulnerable code being found, because more people are looking),&#8221; Rowley said. &#8220;Patchstack runs a bug bounty program which pays security researchers for the bugs they report in the WordPress ecosystem, which incentives security researchers (and even developers familiar with WordPress) to look for more security bugs.&#8221;</p>



<p>Overall, Patchstack&#8217;s findings this year show that WordPress core is very secure and the vast majority of vulnerabilities are found in themes and plugins. Users should monitor their extensions and periodically check to see if they have been abandoned, as not all vulnerable software is guaranteed to get patched.

<p><em>The longer answer…</em></p>



<p>It will depend on many things going right over the next couple of months. <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/6-0/">WordPress 6.0 is scheduled</a> for launch on May 24, 2022. The 6.0 Beta 1 is on April 12. Even with a slightly extended cycle, major updates come fast.</p>



<p>Anne McCarthy <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39293">opened a discussion</a> in the Gutenberg repository on Tuesday. She posted:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Across the community, I&#8217;m getting questions around when the beta label for the site editor will be removed. <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/01/26/preliminary-roadmap-for-6-0/">While not explicitly stated in the 6.0 post</a>, I know it&#8217;s been discussed around having it removed for 6.0 as this was meant to be a temporary label to communicate that the site editor is still in early stages.</p><p>In order to track this concern and have a place to point people, I&#8217;m opening this issue so, when the time comes, a decision can be made and folks can be notified.</p></blockquote>



<p><a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39293#issuecomment-1062196015">In response</a>, Courtney Robertson said she would like to see a unified effort on creating support material across LearnWP, HelpHub, and DevHub. &#8220;What would the community&#8217;s expectation be for supporting resources related to beta, and what capacity do teams have to reach that goal?&#8221; she asked.</p>



<p><a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39293#issuecomment-1064194620">In a separate reply</a>, she posed additional questions:</p>



<ul><li>What does the 3rd party ecosystem struggle with today for adopting FSE?</li><li>What impact with this have for end site builders using products (plugins) that want to but can&#8217;t yet work with Site Editor because features are missing (custom post types, templates, shortcodes) and the following impact to their clients?</li><li>What areas feel incomplete yet in Site Editor?</li></ul>



<p>&#8220;Before removing the label, we need feedback about the expectations when there is no beta label,&#8221; she wrote.</p>



<p>Alex Stine <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39293#issuecomment-1064468572">noted accessibility issues</a> as a blocker for removing the beta label. Dave Ryan <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39293#issuecomment-1064381967">added items</a> that theme authors were still hard-coding because they are unsupported in the editor.</p>



<p>Avoiding the WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg debacle should be a priority. The block editor was arguably the worst feature rollout in the platform&#8217;s history, one that has left a fractured community that is, over three years later, still picking up some of the pieces of itself.</p>



<p>The problem was more about communication than anything. It was not that the block editor was in and of itself a poor product. It just felt very much like beta software that was switched on overnight &#8212; the platform&#8217;s users its guinea pigs. Plus, the lack of a built-in method of staying on the classic editor without installing a plugin made for a rough transition.</p>



<p>Aurooba Ahmed <a href="https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/39293#issuecomment-1064275953">noted a similar risk</a> with removing the beta label early:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>[Josepha Haden Chomphosy] talked about <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/project/2022/02/11/a-theory-of-technology-adoption-in-the-wordpress-project/">the impact and experience of social proof not being on Gutenberg&#8217;s side early on in the project</a>. I think a lot of that had to do with how things were presented and a bunch of PR issues. Removing the beta label from the Site Editor could be just as problematic.</p></blockquote>



<p>Some FSE features like block-based widgets and nav menus have also had problematic rollouts. Developers and end-users have often needed to scramble for solutions without an appropriate transition period before switching the features on when ready.</p>



<p>However, the site editor and global styles have been entirely opt-in FSE features thus far. That is not changing anytime soon. Users must explicitly activate a block theme to access them.</p>



<p>This has made for a far gentler transition, allowing early adopters to test the waters before the rest of the world. And, make no mistake, the site editor and block-based themes fundamentally change how WordPress&#8217;s theme and customization system has worked for years.</p>



<p>We will be lucky if even 100 <a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/full-site-editing/">block themes</a> are in the official directory when WordPress 6.0 launches. Today, there are 53, a fraction of the 1,000s of themes in total.</p>



<p>There is little harm that could be done by keeping the site editor in beta for a while longer. When something breaks, it feels better knowing it is an experimental feature.</p>



<p>Of course, it must come to an end one day as we peel back the label and let the site editor shine in its own light. It cannot stay in beta endlessly, and &#8220;6.0&#8221; is a nice, round, feel-good number. Despite WordPress marching to the beat of its own versioning drum, it does not erase how much those &#8220;x.0&#8221; releases feel like they should be revolutionary in some way. Putting a stamp of approval on the site editor would be a highlight, but it would likely be premature.</p>



<p>WordPress 6.1 may be a more opportune moment. There is no pressing need to rush support material, bypass accessibility issues, or not let features mature for a cycle or two.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 11 Mar 2022 04:00:44 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Justin Tadlock";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:46;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

Classic design submissions still outpace them by margins that make it look like blocks are not even in the race yet. However, some designers seek to pioneer this still-foreign space.</p>



<p>Brian Gardner is not new to this. His latest theme, <a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/avant-garde/">Avant-Garde</a>, plays on the block system&#8217;s strengths without forcing it into something it is not capable of yet. It also does not hurt that Gardner leans into minimalism with his designs. The simplicity of the block system plays back into his strengths, too.</p>



<img />



<p>Reading through the code and browsing Avant-Garde&#8217;s design elements almost feels like taking a master-class in block theme development. Other than a typo where &#8220;Primary&#8221; is misspelled in the color palette (fixed in version 1.0.2), it seems to be doing everything right. It is vying for my coveted favorite theme of 2022 award, but we still have nearly a full 10 months left before the year is out. A lot can happen in that time. However, Avant-Garde raises the bar for those that follow.</p>



<p>There is one thing I am not fond of, so let us get this out of the way. The content area of single posts and pages is split into two columns. The title and meta are aligned left with the content to the right.</p>



<img />Single post view.



<p>I like the willingness to break from the mold &#8212; it is titled <em>Avant-Garde</em>, after all. However, I never felt comfortable with the right-aligned content, even after tinkering with the theme for a week. Center or left-aligned is more natural.</p>



<p>I know I will sound like a broken record, but this is why I enjoy using the site editor. If I find a theme that covers 80% of what I want, I can customize it. Even as a designer and developer, this was often more trouble than it was worth with classic themes. Every theme developer had their in-house design system to figure out. Blocks always follow the same standard. Moving a column here or putting the post title over there simply induces fewer headaches.</p>



<p>So, I made a couple of minor changes to single posts. <em>No big deal.</em> I erased my single dislike about the theme in mere moments via the site editor, and all was right with the world.</p>



<img />Customizing the layout of the single post template.



<p>Where Avant-Garde gets things right is its patterns. It bundles 14 in total, and one is of the <a href="https://bg.design/avant-garde/">homepage design from the demo</a>. Users do not have to piece it together; just insert and customize. This is the primary reason I have called for a separate <a href="https://wptavern.com/full-page-patterns-are-still-the-missing-piece-of-block-wordpress-theme-development">full-page pattern feature</a> in the past.</p>



<p>My favorite block pattern in the theme is for creating a portfolio:</p>



<img />Portfolio pattern.



<p>It is merely a Heading, Paragraph, and a three-by-three grid of Image blocks. It feels like something anyone should be capable of building, but the simple elegance combined with on-point spacing is sometimes more complex than it looks.</p>



<p>I am also warming up to the list-style Query pattern as someone who enjoys writing from time to time and does not want to worry about finding the perfect featured image:</p>



<img />List-style Query pattern.



<p>Avant-Garde includes a couple of alternative Query patterns for a grid and a one-column post list for those who prefer something different.</p>



<p>I rarely get to point to footer design as a positive attribute of themes. Far too often, this section is tacked on as if it had no right being there in the first place.  However, Avant-Garde has not one but two footers that say, &#8220;Hey, do I have your attention?&#8221;</p>



<p>The first is the default, which includes the text &#8220;Design with courage.&#8221; in large lettering:</p>



<img />Default footer design.



<p>The alternative is a business-friendly, full-width lead-in for visitors to contact the site owner:</p>



<img />Contact-style footer.



<p>Avant-Garde has a short pattern for displaying copyright text and links for those who prefer a footer that seeks less attention.</p>



<p>The theme does not include many custom block styles. A few fill-type and outline Button options can be replaced when core supports borders on the block. A &#8220;no margin&#8221; style for Paragraphs handles a missing WordPress feature.</p>



<p>Its more unique options include shadow and full-height styles for the Group block. It also offers framed images, which are showcased in the portfolio pattern.</p>



<p>Overall, I want to see more themes like Avant-Garde land in the directory. The design does not push against every boundary &#8212; though it does experiment plenty. What makes it a solid choice is the attention to detail. The little things matter, such as selecting the right photos for the demo and not leaving the footer design as an afterthought.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Thu, 10 Mar 2022 04:11:06 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:14:"Justin Tadlock";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}s:4:"type";i:128;s:7:"headers";O:42:"Requests_Utility_CaseInsensitiveDictionary":1:{s:7:"*data";a:8:{s:6:"server";s:5:"nginx";s:4:"date";s:29:"Fri, 25 Mar 2022 09:21:07 GMT";s:12:"content-type";s:8:"text/xml";s:4:"vary";s:15:"Accept-Encoding";s:13:"last-modified";s:29:"Fri, 25 Mar 2022 09:15:07 GMT";s:15:"x-frame-options";s:10:"SAMEORIGIN";s:4:"x-nc";s:9:"HIT ord 1";s:16:"content-encoding";s:4:"gzip";}}s:5:"build";s:14:"20220126011700";}
