5 Secrets to Mastering The WordPress Block Editor

[@mkirby2000]

Kyle, Very helpful tips. It would be great to see more of these general tips and techniques that apply to the block editor and Wordpress and not specific tools. Also, thanks for videos that are helpful to the single website people. Thanks for all that you contribute to the Wordpress community.

[@otmaneotman6806]

Thank you for very nice tips.

[@scottydigital]

The reusable blocks tip (and, frankly the edit html one as well lol) are game changers for my work flow! Awesome!

[@TheAdminBar]

So glad it helped!

[@craiggrant1442]

Great tips. I like the / to search for a block 👍🏻

[@TheAdminBar]

Glad it was useful! 🙌

[@soloharmonix]

thanks for this video. I have been using it wordpress for like 3 years. And I didn't realize I could do all that. 😅

[@TheAdminBar]

Glad it's helpful!

Wohh right! Reusable blocks are just hard to access and mange. You nailed it.

[@TheAdminBar]

Glad you enjoyed, thank you!

[@MrOliver1444]

the spam tag was new to me. Thanks for that

[@TheAdminBar]

Wahoo! Glad you enjoyed! That's a fairly simple example - the world is your oyster!

@@TheAdminBar I''d been hijacking the "hightlight" option for simple text color changes. It's even easier (better?) if you're using GeneratePress/Blocks.

[@AndyFeliciotti]

This is fantastic

[@TheAdminBar]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Andy!

[@AdamLoweIO]

I love that reusable blocks tip. That's going into my master theme!

[@TheAdminBar]

WOOT! Glad I could help (and I stole it from somewhere else 😂 )

[@mariajackson8923]

Love the reusable blocks tip, too. Definite time saver.

[@TheAdminBar]

Glad it's useful! 🙌

[@tammieoneal5964]

Does the copy and paste into another page work between different sites? Thanks for the video. It is time to start dipping my toes in the water.

[@TheAdminBar]

It sure does! In fact, GenerateBlocks has a library (both free and paid) that you can copy right from the front end of their site and paste into any site. generateblocks.com/library/

[@torbenheikelvinther4535]

Thank you for very nice tips. I have tweaked your code snippet regarding the Reusable Blocks Admin Menu so it is placed as a submenu under Appearance: /* Reusable Blocks accessible in backend */ function wf_reusable_blocks_admin_menu() { add_submenu_page( 'themes.php', _x( 'Reusable Blocks', 'block category' ), _x( 'Reusable Blocks', 'block category' ), 'edit_posts', 'edit.php?post_type=wp_block' ); } add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wf_reusable_blocks_admin_menu' );

[@TheAdminBar]

Ohhh nice! Glad you enjoyed!

[@jeffbarnhart6441]

I think you can get to reusable blocks by typing /reuse or some shortcut like that.

[@benandersen42]

Great tips! When removing unnecessary blocks so clients won't see them, do you have to do that logged into their user or is it global?

[@TheAdminBar]

It's on a user-by-user basis - so you'll need to access their user account to set it up for them.

[@benandersen42]

@@TheAdminBar Oh thanks! That's good to know!

[@ayomidefortunate9580]

Someone might find this helpful. For the last trick, instead of altering the code especially when it's a complex block. Simply select or double-click the word, then choose from the arrow drop down (v) to select the Generateblocks highlight option, the one with pen icon. Afterwards you can change the color of the selected word in the right panel and as well change other properties available for the highlighted word. Straight and simple without breaking anything

[@KalamazooWebDesign]

I never knew that was called a kabob menu! LOL!!

[@TheAdminBar]

😂 I've called it "the three dot icon" for a VERY long time 😂 Making KZbin videos forces you to Google things 😅

[@rogermarquez1314]

I just wish there was an option to resubscribe or something hahaha because I just feel clicking "LIKE" is not enough

[@TheAdminBar]

If only we had that technology! 😅 Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

How to create a website like sportskeeda

[@maxziebell4013]

If one could save a block pattern, as a new block… that would be cool. Not a reusable block, but rather a new block (meta block). This would mean one would have to enable some sort of toggle on certain properties to be exposed by the meta blocks. Lets say, the headline content could be still edited. This would be block creation on the fly and if one edits the meta block it would change everywhere while still maintaining the changed headline content across its used instances.

[@maxziebell4013]

Wait I think I did something like this with Reusable Blocks that use dynamic data as an input like ACF field. They would be taken from the location the block is inserted, correct? Still not exactly the same, but the direction is right.

[@TheAdminBar]

I hadn't thought of that, but I love the idea! I would be really interested in checking that out with ACF!

[@melaniesmalldesign]

Just save as a reusable block. Add to new page. Then convert block to regular and edit. :)

[@melaniesmalldesign]

Nevermind, I think I misunderstood your question. Happy Monday! Lol
