Which blocks have a colour selector and how many are right/wrong?
Shouldn’t this be a block example!

Does anyone still use RSS? It’s a new block in Gutenberg 5.0
My Favourite Block
I wrote this poem, entitled “My Favourite Block”, for a lightning talk that I prepared for the February 2019 WordPress Portsmouth Meetup.
WordPress 5.0.1, Classic editor 1.3 and No Gutenberg
Here we go then. I’m in the pub and have just updated to WordPress 5.0.1.
I started writing this post on my iphone.
My own blocks didn’t seem to work properly. I investigated later. After I’d upgraded oik-blocks to the latest version, everything was fine on my laptop.
With Classic Editor v1.3 per post switching between editors can be done using the Default editor current user Meta Box.
| block | working |
|---|---|
| Csv | yes -when Gutenberg is activated |
| css | expect so |
CSS block to set table text green
table { color: Green; }WordPress 5.0, Gutenberg and the Classic Editor – what did you expect?
Well that was a fuck up!
I’ve heard reports that the Classic Editor plugin was updated just a few hours before WordPress 5.0 was released and now there’s a completely different user experience.
The ability to easily choose the editor to create your content has disappeared. For me, that was the whole reason for having the plugin. Some things don’t work in Gutenberg / 5.0 so I need the ability to use both.
I don’t think the use cases for the Classic Editor and Gutenberg and WordPress version combinations have been thought through. I know that I am going to continue to want to use both Gutenberg and the Classic editor under WordPress 5.0. And I need the ability to easily select my preferred editor. That’s how it was with 0.5. It’s how I tested my sites’ compatibility.
You don’t bugger about with something hours before a release. You give people a chance to test it.
Lessons need to be learned. WordPress 5.0 release should have been delayed until:
- v1.0 of the Classic Editor had been tested with Gutenberg 4.6.1 and WordPress 4.9.8 & 5.0-RC3.
- User documentation was ready.
- The host of issues starting with #4855 had been addressed.
Fortunately, I haven’t yet upgraded anything yet. I will be testing Classic Editor v1.1 very carefully.
oik v3.2.8 now available
I bit the bullet and published, on wordpress.org, the latest version of oik a couple of days before WordPress 5.0 is due to be released.
oik-block – Gut feel revisited
Back in April I was developing a prototype plugin called oik-block that contained a number of prototype Gutenberg blocks plus a whole load of code that helped me to form opinions regarding Gutenberg’s compatibility with my sites and to estimate the code of migrating to Gutenberg and/or WordPress 5.0. I’ve recently forked oik-block to create a new plugin called oik-blocks. Here’s an update.
Switching from Canvas to Storefront
At the Portsmouth WordPress Meetup on 18th October 2018, I gave my presentation entitled “Switching from Canvas to Storefront”, subtitled “How to update a WooCommerce site with a new theme … the trials and tribulations”.
The talk was based on my experience of migrating Steve Goodyear’s Motorcycle Products online shop sgmotorsport.biz.
