Bento Box Web Design in WordPress with the Query Loop Block & CSS Grid

[@aaronbradshaw7256]

This is awesome. I'm getting into FSE and realizing how much is now possible with core blocks. No more reliance on block add-ons.

Block Themes and FSE is defo awesome Aaron, and will only get better - thanks for the feedback!

Thank you so much!!!!!! I can't describe my happiness in words

[@wpjakson]

You're so very welcome Ashish :) Be sure and let me know how you get on with creating your own Bento Box with the Query Loop!

@@wpjakson I got super inspired and now making my own FSE theme based on your tutorials!! I am not able to figure out a way to implement two things however a) Theme update checker which notifies the end user if there are any new updates for the theme b) License check mechanism. If theme is sold in marketplaces it will be good to have a license check system to check genuine buyers and combat piracy. Someone suggested to use WP Application Passwords Rest API functionality for this but I think that's not ideal UI UX for this. would love to know you thoughts on this. or maybe a tutorial video on the same will be very helpful

18:15 This doesn't seem to work for me. Adding this part of code only makes the date and title area clickable, not the entire box. Any idea why it doesn't work as shown?

[@wpjakson]

Hey @jottpeo, hard to say - are you working locally or is it hosted somewhere - cool to take a look at it for you - shoot me a message here: jakson.co/ask-me-anything/

[@jottpeo]

@@wpjakson I made it work. Looked through the video again and saw that I had both the title and date grouped. Ungrouped them and it all worked as intended!

[@wpjakson]

Great to hear @jottpeo !
