Straight to the point. Thanks Jamie!
thanks Hannes
Love it, thanks Jamie!
Thanks Leo 🙏
That was quick and easy. Thanks Jamie!
thanks Nazir - good to hear 👍
Great explanation, as always. That footnotes block looks like it could be a real game changer for all sorts of writing.
thanks Philip, nice to see you here :)
Nice video! Thanks a lot Jamie! 😀
thanks for watching 👍
thanks that was helpful
thanks Stefanie 👍
Great video as always ticking off a number of the best features. Thank you!
thanks Dave- your roundup is great too !
Awesome video! Thanks for all you do to continue to educate folks. Just a quick note that template parts as a concept are still around. They are just grouped with Patterns right now. You still have separate flows for creating template parts throughout the interface.
Thanks Anne, and thanks so much for clarifying about template parts 👍
Thank you. Excellent
thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for this!
👍
Really appreciate the work you do! Thanks a lot for this video, definitely with sharing!🤝🔥
Great thanks - sharing really helps 🙏
thank you, was looking for support for the new editor 😊 very helpful!
Great to hear
Thanks for the nice overview. Footnoes really is an interesting addition!
100% agree
Nice video as always
thank you 🙏
Thanks, helpful as always. I really wish they would ask someone like you with your insight into the beginnger/occasional user's mind before making wild changes. I really appreciate your comments on areas that will be an issue for those folks since that's who i build sites for. Looking forward to your in depth 6.3 video!
Thanks Kristin, i'm actually going to make a video with that in mind - and the team do listen :)
Hi there. I'm from the block editor Core team and I'd like to reassure you that we do listen and try to make small steps whilst still advancing the platform towards improvements.
Are there any specifically "wild" changes you had in mind when you wrote your comment? It sounds like there was something in the release that concerned you?
The new features are amazing-especially the "academic minded" footnotes 😄
Yes indeed 👍
Awesome video. I had just started learning and using wordpress. The version that shipped with the hosting web is this one, but at the time I started using it, there weren’t not many explanation so I had to compare it to the older version which got me confused for a while. I should treat this one as a stand alone and not reference to the previous version to avoid confusing since I have zero previous experience on wordpress. I am looking forward for more content from you.
thank you for watching, it's great you found it useful
Thanks for the great video Jamie, as always! I am just finishing the design of my website and one of the last things I wanted to do is creating my own patterns, but now I know this I will wait a few weeks until 6.3. Also the sticky elements will be a nice part, so I am looking forward to August 7!
Yup im really pleased the sticky position can now be used in columns :)
@@jamiewp Another great tutorial and I am still looking for the positioning feature in the Columns Block. Can you point me in the right direction? I see it in row and Group but not in Columns. Do you need the Gutenberg Plugin for that or will it be native in 6.3?
Thank you.
@@stevedougherty yes it's coming in 6.3 but you still need to add a group in the column you want to stick (this is how the sticky css position works)
Very good work! =D
thank you
Sometimes developer try to mimic features we have in the physical world and he forgets that in the digital world we can find more efficient solution for it , like foot notes 🙃 why sending users down to see it if we can pop it right in front of him 😉
true, but in this case it’s probably for when those pages get printed
Like to help the cats! Jamie, that was an effective overview as you usually do. Looks like a massive upgrade in how you work your website from accordions to stickies - practical. I am most interested in how they will handle CSS Grid. But, I am in the learning stage on it. This book looks good - Mastering CSS Grid: A comprehensive and practical guide
cheers😀
Life saver. I had no idea what on earth was going on.
Glad it helped 😀
Always happy to see a new video from you, and yes looking forward to a deeper video on this.
Will template parts will transition to patterns automatically, or will that break sites that use template parts? I am guessing not, since a lot of block themes would break otherwise....
Actually we still have template parts , they've just moved into patterns ui. So don't worry , nothing will break :)
Loving the content around FSE Jamie. I am sure one video included a search icon in the menu - I can make an ugly one but am sure there are better. Would love to understand button hover options and see some more website redesigns using 6.3 please
Did you see the options to customise the search block ? That might help .
@@jamiewpyes, I think they are a bit limited currently compared to some of the page builders. Thanks for replying. Keep up the great work on the channel.
Exciting news.
thanks for watching Eric
I'd love to see more website redesign challenges! Maybe also with WooCommerce
On the way :)
how to change favicon with full site editing i use spectra one theme
Exactly the summary I needed. Will still wait until the .2 before updating. Thanks!
Cool 😎
Hi @asirus - Just curious to hear why you want to wait, and with .2, do you mean WP 6.3.2? Do you know when it will be released? I'm a bit hesitant to update now, I've read it has crashed people's sites. I usually wait a week before doing anything, but maybe better to wait to the next release?
@@MariaErving I wait because of precisely what you said you've read- that it can crash sites. With whole number updates, like this one from 6.2 to 6.3, there are usually a lot of new things, and with new things come bugs. Despite beta testing and pre-release bug squashing, once it has been rolled out to the masses, there're inevitably more, which they typically patch in the next minor update, so the 6.3.1 that will come should address a lot of the issues people are having now. It's simply my personal preference to wait another round. I'm in no hurry for the latest features and find this way better so I don't end up wasting time trying to figure out what's clashing and restore from a back up... etc. When that 6.3.2 is released I'll test it in a staging environment to make sure it doesn't break my sites before I update the live sites. If you're happy to wait then wait until the 6.3.1 is out otherwise it wouldn't make any difference for you. It's not the time but the version that matters. It usually takes a few weeks for the minor update to be released and you'll see it in your dashboard.
@@asirus Thank you so much for your reply, I'll wait until 6.3.1 is out too then, it sounds like the best way to do it! 👍
@@MariaErving You are very welcome! 😊
Thanks Jamie, your dashboard theme is very nice how we can get that ?
my dashboard theme?
FINALLY! An accordion block. I couldn't believe this wasn't core. Only problem: gonna have to transition many posts to the new one!
Actually I know there is that excellent plugin that lists the blocks you use, but what would be ace in core is some way of transitioning and switching blocks seamlessly - like different block plugins or plugins to core when updates like this happen. Updating many posts/pages is rather a faff (and yes, not sure if patterns would do that?)
That’s a cool idea 👍
Do you know when they will be implementing the partially synced pattern feature? What I am still missing in the 'new block based WP' is global style changes like CSS classes but visual. The synced patterns (formerly known as 'reusable blocks') are still the same content and style of the particular block used across the site in different places, not different content in each but same style, right?
This is partly what I was commenting on above - that I have about 10-20 posts with a Plugin Accordion block, which I now might want to update to the core accordion block...a faff.
Now, if patterns like that had existed, I'd have set one up then I'd have switched the block in the pattern and voila! Like a template within a template? Like a true template pattern....but I don't think they do that, which makes the patterns feature quite useless to me.
There really needs to be a way to transition or template blocks/patterns like that, that's separate to content, that then can be updated across the board...
Finally after 8+ years in limbo WordPress becomes modern and user friendly again…. I like it
Cool 😎
Thank you so much! thanks to you, I am using twenty twenty four now! however, how can I add pagination in this thme? thank you!
Hi - it the query loop block there is a pagination block 👍
wow
wow! thank you so much for replying. can I ask you one more? Do you think it's working well with Woocommerce and Tutor lms? I have a plan to use wocoommerce and tutor lms now with this theme instead of Kadence.. What woulod you prefer if you are going ot use wocoommerce and tutor lms thank you!
@@jamiewp
Ok Jamie do you know of a video like this that is slower and explains the pages vs themes vs pattetns because my new wrbsite is all screwed up. Im tired of trying to learn what it all means without a tutorial. I thought i had a home page but then it said I must change the theme, then all the other pages of my site changed too. How frustrating!
Im close but need more explanation.
Hi, i'm working on one at the moment
Your intro... In 240 seconds!!! Speed! Then BAM a what's coming slide that totally breaks the flow. LOL. I love your content. I'll forgive the video flow.
thank Rand :)
Hi! Do you know if this update will help to automatically sync the menus? I still use the twenty nineteen theme and when I try to switch to the Twenty Twenty Three theme my menus is all over the place and I don't know how to fix them. I was told from one of your colleagues that there would be coming an update that would fix that automatically in mid 23. Do you know if this update does that or do you have any other suggestion how to fix the menus?
Hi Peter. I contribute to the Navigation Menu system in the block editor and so I'm curious what you mean here.
I think you're asking is how do I import my menus from my classic theme into a block theme?
If so then, by default when you switch to a block theme for the first time WP 6.3 will automatically import you most recently created classic menu as a block Navigation Menu.
If that menu is not correct then you can select the relevant Navigation block, open the block settings sidebar (right hand side) and look for the "options" menu (looks like 3 dots). Select the Classic Menu you'd like to import and it will be imported.
Be aware that this is a one time operation and once imported it won't stay in sync with the classic menu anymore - you'll have to update it from the new system.
I hope that helps?
@@DaveOnWP Hi Dave and thanks for your answer. I don't know if twenty twenty three is a block theme but if it is I guess you are right. If not then my q is about how I can change from one word press theme to another without having the classic menu all over the place. You did a video a while ago about how you could migrate classic menus to block based menus. That worked for me on all but one of my websites. You also mentioned that this was not optimal but the best we had for the moment and that there would come an update in mid 23 that would fix this automatically so that you did not have to use the same method as in your video. Is the 6.3 version that version you was talking about?
@@peternilsson2372 You should be able to move between block themes and have your menu move with you.
The system will use the most recently created Navigation Menu by default.
> without having the classic menu all over the place
If you can be more specific about the Issue you are experiencing I'm happy to dig a little deeper for you. It might be something that's been solved but I can't say.
@@DaveOnWP I did try on the website that I could not convert according to the method you used about migrating menus and now the menu is gone. On my start page there is only the social links available but the whole menu is gone. I could show screen dumps but that's not possible here. I don't really know how else I could explain for you other than when I try to change my WP theme from twenty nineteen to another WP theme, in this case Twenty Twenty three, the menu I had in twenty nineteen theme used to be scattered allover my start page. Both the main menu and the submenus was allover the place. I haven't tried in a while since I was waiting for the promised update that would convert my old menu to a block based one and now when I tried again the menu disappeared. Only the social menu is visible. I could also mention that I have the latest WP version so my webpage is up to date.
It seems like block themes create the potential to create a maintenace/maintainability nightmare.
How so ?
@@jamiewp because if an end-user modified a blog post or page with something like a block pattern, that pattern is COPIED, not referenced, into the the post or page and then saved in the database. If you then decide/need to change anything related to that block pattern or the blocks inside it - those changes will not apply site-wide to all of the copied code in the database - it is the same reason why in coding we use functions instead of just copying the contents of function into the source over and over again. Exactly what is being discuss here: czcams.com/video/C088o0O7Snc/video.html
Hi Jamie,
I have updated my wordpress to 6.3 and now my titles have disappeared from my pages, also everything has enlarged itself?
Words are going off screen.
Do you know how to resolve it, because I think wordpress 6.2 was much better.
I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else - i would restore it and then try to update on a staging server (if you have one). If not , you could try using instawp to create a staging server
@@jamiewp Do you mean revert back to a previous version?
If you go into the theme forum there is over 2400 complaints about the new update of wordpress 6.3.
The website has had over 4000 views in just under six hours.
what theme forum?@@HomeOfMillionaires
Wordpress forum furnitrix
What is the reason to use extensions when gutenberg is growing so fast? to add more bloat ? extensions as Generateblocks, Astra blocks and other stuff. Yeah I know you can do more fancy things, but thats it, fancy things as elementor did once. I am very frustrated that Generateblocks does not support WooCommerce in depth,.
You make a good point
There is still a long way to go. I will wait till 6.5 releases. Unable to make a website responsive is a good reason not to use that technology.
They are reponsive 👍
P R O M O S M 🌸
Your cat is more interesting than wp
Thanks 😬
This Wordpress just gets worse. As soon as I got my head around Template parts, they now go and change it to patterns. I give up.
Hi Jack , tmeplate parts are still there , they have moved into patterns in the site editor UI
@@ooogabooga5111 Your reply was as incoherent as your name.
This new change sucks. Why couldn’t they just leave it alone.
Hi Dear,
I visited your CZcams channel and saw that your CZcams channel is very beautiful, but there are many problems that I am trying to find out, one of them is SEO, rank tag, and tag volume, you have not completed them. There are many more. If you want to know about it then inbox me.
