ERRATA: (meant to read) thanks for version 1.2 today.

3 a.m. now here, so i guess it’s now,,
“”thanks for version 1.2 yesterday”” *zzzzz-))

SUPER-THANKS!
wOw – hello MotionBlocks!!!

I put the following up at the top here, though I wrote it at the very bottom at first.

I looked at blockpresswp.com again tonight: — this is my attempt at describing it ~>

1) Desktop Mode: non-sticky transparent header-navigation with the big full-width purple gradient image/color as background which is under the navigation block too! SUPERBNESS!

2) Tablet and Phone Landscape Mode: same as Desktop mode UNTIL scrolling. Scrolling down turns navigation block sticky and black. AWESOMENESS!

3) In phone portrait mode the hamburger menu appears far left, and scrolling down a bit turns it black and sticky. Same cool transparent navigation with gradient underneath, UNTIL scrolling down a bit. WWWWOW!

ALL, as you know!-)))

WHATEVER HAPPENS ALWAYS FINE –

just thinking that…
I bet a whole lot of people look at blockpresswp.com and think, geez, if I could even figure out how to get the basic functionality of that!

When i started with Blockpress i didn’t understand anything about block themes and was puzzled on most all of your tutorials discussing “posts”.
I understand more now – Query Layouts super-interesting.

Do you think it would be a great FireStarter to show people how to customize their “Front Page” with the BASIC functionality noted above at 1) 2) 3)

I’m cringing a bit to say it like that – though, yep, I’m sure I’m not the only one keen to drop “Classic” themes, and go all in on FullSiteEditing… and maybe a “BASIC” tutorial on how to rock “The look” like on the TOP ONLY section of the frontpage on blockpresswp.com would spark a lot of people.

FRONTPAGE is where new users get the feel-good vibe initially I think.
That blockpresswp.com (transparent) navigation and the cover section gradient under it, and then the sticky/not-sticky logic for the desktop/mobile views IS IT !!!

ADDITIONAL LATE-NITE RAMBLE: (nearly 3 a.m. here-)
I’d like to contact the handful of sites that list the top FSE Blocks-only themes to draw their attention to BLOCKPRESS. seems weird to see the others mentioned. BlockPress is getting a lot of changes. Thanks for 1.1.2 today!
I’d ask you if that’s ok first, and probably after dec.31st best-)
You may likely already have that all in the work so just a thought.
and, you have ideas when’s best and all. Or, I’ve missed something entirely never surprises me!
Just me thinking out loud here. heh-heh.

(again) WHATEVER HAPPENS ALWAYS FINE !


WRITTEN EARLIER STUFF BELOW
—- I can imagine how enjoyably busy you stay so the following is optional or quite scan-read stuff —-

Right, so, got your kind messages mid-day and now, just before sleep (2 a.m.) I’m able to write back! heh-heh

NOTE: i now understand that editing support comments here isn’t possible, or isn’t for very long,, so in the future I’ll be looking to be more readable. I was just pretty thrilled to be getting somewhere after discovering BlockPress in my first writes.

ALSO: I’ve been through pretty much all the FSEditing blocks-only themes,, and it’s bizarre that the several “best block themes” websites don’t ALL have BlockPress on there. I’d love to wave some magic and see BlockPress on all of them. With respect to all the other Dev-Authors… there’s really no comparison to BlockPress.

AND, blockpresswp.com (site) is awesome. especially when one digs in some.

OK, so, the short-version is that until sometime in January I won’t have a page link – a long story – debian instance on dedicated server running proxmox starts up in January anew.

Getting it all to work with 1 IP address is very doable though quite some tweaks, though very satisfying.
Plus, being able to backup and restore the whole machine in a few minutes to server blank space is a new thing for me.

As I’m just going back into wordpress as an intermediate user who never liked the whole ‘customizer’ and bloat of classic themes i wasn’t very motivated. Got into Node.js a wee bit, though again, my skills are very ‘cowboy’ and “on the shoulders of giants”, having to find solutions that others have put online take a whole ton of time trying.

Basically, finding BLOCKPRESS and 6.1.1 WP’s features changed my ENTIRE happiness and motivation!

LOOKING FORWARD
/tweed

All of my problems (except the occasional Gutenberg bug/limitation)
were caused by having PREVIOUSLY installed starter themes from kadence and astra.

Not sure if that’s related to your issue.

Pretty certain that BLOCKPRESS is WAY out in front (with greenshift plugin) for FSE themes.

I did a review and a couple of other support posts.
Got back into wordpress as soon as I found BLOCKPRESS and i went as deep as i could understanding the new way of doing, with Gutenberg/blocks.

What are now called “classic” themes seem to mess stuff up MAYBE.
I dropped all my database tables and reinstalled…. smooth sailing from there.

THAT SAID YOU PROBABLY DON’T HAVE TO EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING THAT!!!!

best wishes to all

WORKAROUND for NOW:

as, for me, BLOCKPRESS 1.1.1 seems to like default footer (footer.html in /parts folder)
even if I create a new then modified part, it will only be shown ON the frontpage.
i get the default footer (footer.html in parts folder) on ALL other pages/posts.

SO< on my server i copied footer.html as a backup, then, in the EDIT SITE mode i edit the default footer (which is editing footer.html in /parts folder actually)
and it works on ALL pages/posts.

Will discover at some point if it’s a current limitation or bug that i can’t seem to get a newly created (well, a copied and renamed) part to fuction on ALL pages as the footer.
it will only show on the frontpage UNLESS i use default footer edited. (footer.html in /pages folder for blockpress)

At a guess, it’s a Gutenberg issue OR even more likely my lack of knowing more than i know.

WOW – can’t say enough about the value of going deep with BLOCKPRESS and studying FSE ONLY stuff.

YEP. Totally not anything to do with the theme, AND even if it was (it’s NOT) the DEV would have sorted it out pronto.

The 4 star rating truly should be 5 stars.
I’m patient. I don’t assume.
Quite possibly “Gremlin098” didn’t get the DEV’s same day reply. (above)

hey, that’s life:-)

best wishes to all

Got the basics. Was able to get it working basically by finding the right spot to put <div class=”post-box”> in loop.php

Whatever your isotope script says is what you’d use of course.
itemSelector: ‘.box’,

Obviously interested in any finer points though happy it’s working. Often the way, insn’t it. write a post, then find the answer! thanks.

this is a terrific help. Nothings working yet though these are the only clues I’ve found so far on wordpress and isotope. Having done the ‘you know the one!’ multi-day attempts, now am very keen to know a few things:

OBJECTIVE >> Create a new post and have it end up as an isotope box:

– does the loop stuff requre only two divs to be added?

– do the two surrounding divs (if only two needed) work with any template. bare bones templates like Handcrafted WP have entirely different loop.php obviously. Is there a beginner’s way to explain in some detail?

– the interest is to create a site that has the ability to have a one page site and when a new post (blog?) is created it gets published and looks like an isotope box.

– if only interested in the above (create post have it becomr isotope box) where does the html from the description noted in this post go? Is it that we don’t need to ad any html? EXCEPT whatever’s in the post? So just add the css stuff desired and alter the loop.php and add script (where?) and we’re good to go?

REALLY would like some guru details on this! Please.
