fsif posted:Nah, I never used @wordpress/create-block; not certain it was around when we first started making blocks. Most of my working knowledge came from this series: https://css-tricks.com/learning-gutenberg-1-series-intro/ You're right, after a few hours of digging I discovered that it's more trouble than it's worth. I wanted to make a simple copy of the "Media and Text" block where I could use my own CSS classes and not have the Wordpress classes, just to keep my HTML and CSS as clean as possible. It was a mess. I'm surprised there isn't a tool to generate the code. There are things like Lazy Blocks, but it can only export the block code in a format that a site with Lazy Blocks installed can read. The WP team seems to be making big improvements to the CMS, so the Gutenberg dev experience is probably low on the list of priorities right now.

A lot of people swear by this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-css/#description I don’t know if it actually does anything special, but generate press is an awesome theme that isn’t a _s type imho. I’ll probably try it out since I write a lot of css that’s reusable.

I've been asked to update this Wordpress site. The problem I'm having is any kind of custom jquery animation bugs out and is really jerky. It pauses after a fraction of a second, sits there not animating, and then jumps to the completed animation. It's on a theme called H-Code, which uses WPBakery for it's page builder. I've searched for the problem with both the theme and page builder without luck. I've tried it on iOS, windows, Firefox and Chrome and they behave the same. I've tried adjusting the css and I can change the easing and length of the "animation" but that doesn't make it animate properly. My best guess is it has something to do with the version of jquery the theme is using, which is a little beyond me. Either that or something in the css that I'm completely missing. I have tried enqueuing the necessary jquery ui scripts to make sure they're actually loading but that didn't help. You can see an example here: https://ventureupward.org/development/ click "How it Works" in the hero image at the top. There's a few other places where there's custom jquery to animate things on the site, and they all have the same problem, but that's probably the easiest example. Any feedback or ideas as to what's causing it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you thought about just cutting jQuery out of the equation altogether and using CSS animations? I clicked "Frequently Asked Questions" in the hero section and I can see a bunch of CSS properties changing values all rapid-fire, probably too fast for browsers to keep up with. Changing from display: none to display: block is usually janky to begin with, and then the animation is changing height plus various separate padding and margin properties on multiple things at the same time... it's all really overkill for what you're looking to do. code:code:

Any of you know if its possible to "dynamically" create coupon codes for WOoCommerce? i.E. you have a list of people and you want to create a coupon code per person, if that makes sense? I was having issues trying to word it correctly to search for it

Yeah. It's mostly just a combination of Gravity forms & Gravity Views to do custom pages. I got it down to 20...I could get it down to 5 but i'd have to reprogram their custom page system but

That's what I did; rebuilt the site basically, only taking in the custom logic that was essential, or just moving everything to a PHP shortcode that I made. Its sooo much faster now. Currently, they use Gravity Forms and Gravity Views to allow users to make edits to their profile with some custom fields. But I feel like this could be better served with ACF.

Do any of you use ACF Pro and have used the Gallery field? Does it allow you to drag and drop and re-order images? https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/gallery/ This whole system the pass developers made of using GravityForms & GravityViews to make user profiles instead of just using custom fields is a nightmare.

I haven't used it personally, but I tend to keep a WordPress instance running in my local dev environment and on a dev server so I can test things like this out, might be worth looking into. With MAMP, getting WP running locally is pretty quick and easy. Also, Gutenberg has a Gallery block.

Hey WP goons, I have a question I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction on. I'm helping a friend with their site, and he's not super technical. My background is more so but not WP (I don't know PHP) and am more familiar with css. Anyway, the site has custom post types using CPTUI Ext. and that's pretty straightforward. We're using shortcodes to pull these into other post/pages. Where I'm struggling is on how to style these. For example CPTUI has a default shortcode that lists the custom posts with the feature image, Title, then an excerpt. Cool. Example: [cptui cptui_posttype="partner" cptui_shortcode="default_shortcode" cptui_shortcode_id="2105" title="Payment+Partners" featured_image="on" taxonomy-application="payments"][/cptui] Now in the CPTUI docs it talks about how you can style this as the shortcode creates a div that can be styled by class. This is where I'm struggling. That's all it says. So is the div class "default_shortcode" cause that doesn't seem to work. I'm a bit ignorant on shortcodes and the interaction with css. thanks!

If you right click on what the shortcode shows on the page and go to inspect your browser should show you the class that you can style. If you need more help feel free to email me the link and I can get it for you tomisthebest@gmail.com

CSS classes are CSS 101. I'd imagine the assumption is that if you're capable of styling an element using CSS, you're going to know what a class is and how to find it. I've hardly ever seen class names specified in documentation, inside or outside of WordPress, usually because there are dozens or hundreds of them on a page, they get added/removed dynamically by JS, etc. The tricky thing about WP in general is that it caters to a non-developer crowd, but if you want to do any customization outside of what a theme/plugin allows with their GUI, you're in developer-land and the amount of required knowledge to do so goes through the roof.

If you want to customize say Bootstrap, the classes are pretty well documented at all levels. So when a plug-in in says “hey we have these standard things and they make a class but no we’re not going to tell you what it is (but it’s not dynamic! It’s the same every time!)” I think that’s dumb.

I have a customer that wants to setup a quiz with 5 or 6 questions , that ends with a recommendation for a product based on the answers the user chooses. I feel like I could probably setup something like this with gravity forms or ninja forms, but it'd probably end up feeling like a hack. Can anyone recommend a good quiz plugin that would work for something like this? So far this is the best candidate i've found: https://cmoreira.net/advisor-quiz/

Unfortunately these guys aren’t paying that much and I can tell they’re not going to be able to make up their minds on what questions they want. I’d probably have to redo it like 5 times for them. I think I’m gonna stick with one of the plug-in options I’ve found unless they’re truly terrible.

gonna get into gutenberg starting next week, and we're gonna be using acf i believe for db stuff. I really really hate that that stuff's not version controlled, it bothers me that acf doesn't scrub the database once a field/group is deleted and i can't convince them to use theme code pro which at least saves field settings as json locally, so I want to look at doing it from scratch and maybe building something to make it a bit easier and more appealing for the other devs on my team. i took a look at wpbrick and it seems pretty solid, though the codebase has a tooon of settings and configs thats probably only useful to a non-developer, is there a good starter example of a basic custom gutenberg block theme/plugin thats only geared towards devs? I really don't care about offering the client/user the ability to control block padding by pixel.

If you're already using ACF: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/blocks/ Also, you can use ACF to generate PHP code for your fields and either include it in your theme or save it as a plugin which allows it to be version controlled.
