Horizontally scrolling tables on narrow devices
I’ve been looking at how to enable horizontal scrolling on tables created by the [bw_table] shortcode, when the device width is narrow. I want to be able to do it using CSS, without JavaScript. I also want to be able to style the table in the native Gutenberg blocks.
Having looked at a couple of solutions, I believe I’ll be able to achieve it having the table nested in a Group block, and providing the CSS styling using my CSS block.

oik-clone v2.0.0-beta-20200616 – cloning new content made easier
Today, after many months of procrastination, I’ve implemented a small change to my oik-clone plugin that should significantly improve my publishing process. oik-clone now has the ability to automatically re-clone content with newly added (uncloned) featured images.
The primary purpose is to ensure that the target system has the correct ID for the featured image.
Original process New process Create the content. Same Upload and attach the featured image. Same View the content. Same In the output of the [clone] shortcode select the post and the child attachment to clone. Click on clone Same. Edit the content – check the SEO meta description, correct a typo or something, update the taxonomies then update. No need to edit. You’re done. View the content again. Clone the content again. Original process vs New process for cloning new content Clone/cloned output before cloning
Post without a featured image. Note: post ID 50 was extracted from the github shortcode. It’s a red herring I’ve learnt to live with.

Testing shortcode expansion in embedded excerpts
Tools like Slack, Facebook, Twitter and WordPress itself are capable of embedding content from another site just by being given a link. I’ve just updated oik so that it will expand shortcodes during ‘the_excerpt_embed’ filtering. Which means you shoudn’t see a load of strange
tags.
