Notes for WordPress Blocks Newbie

As a newbie to WordPress blocks and site builder, I thought it would be a great idea to take down notes of my discoveries so I won’t have to encounter the same issues over and over again.

#1 – If you create a child theme, the parent theme’s theme.json won’t be executed.

#2 – For the outermost column – I would add left and right padding. This may not be visible on wider screens but this will take effect on smaller screens. By doing so, it will automatically look good on mobile phones.

#3 – Templates/template parts defined on the parent theme will also appear together with the templates/template parts defined by the child theme if they don’t have the corresponding file name, so decide accordingly

#4 – To avoid chaos, if ever you want to set the homepage to a page, make sure that page is not an elementor page. Maybe add a note on my theme.

#5 – Query Loop is conflict with Easy Lisings Plugin when adding excerpt.

#6 – When creating custom block, may need to readd the block before the changes take effect, or it does not affect already added block.

more coming soon.
