It's been a wild ride, but we finally made it! We have planned and worked on this plugin for almost a year. We encountered many roadblocks – I mean, a lot – and we are just at the beginning. The pro version of the plugin is incredibly ambitious, and I can't wait to share more!

When working on a custom #WordPress #theme, do you design it first in #Figma (or similar app) or do you go straight to the Site Editor? Curious to hear why.

For those working with #WordPress and using #Figma: would exporting your whole Figma file as a #BlockTheme (fonts & images included) be useful? I’m building this and testing ideas. If you’d like updates, here’s the waitlist:

@advancedcolumns 2/ The new update will introduce three different ways to manipulate an area: • Using keyboard shortcuts • With a dedicated toolbar for each area (displayed when in focus mode) • Via the grid area option in individual columns

One focus for the next @advancedcolumns #WordPress #plugin update is to enhance the repositioning of individual areas. This task will be approached in several ways, the first involving the creation of a keyboard interaction system with shortcuts to simplify interaction.

@advancedcolumns 2/ Since it relies on custom grid functionality, it can be easily adjusted at every breakpoint and is also available as an option when creating a new block. While it is indeed a niche feature, I thought it would be a great addition.

I was testing the new #WordPress 6.7 #beta 1 this morning and found a strange bug in the block toolbar: https://t.co/E3pHL8tAFt. I think this might be related to these recent changes:

12 years ago when I announced @Ghost, I got the most criticism for this line of my original blog post: "No corporate arm of the law. Ghost would be free as in Mozilla, not as in Automattic ... Every decision made would be about improving the software, not the bottom line."

I recently updated the BlockFlow #plugin for @figma with a preliminary support for the @advancedcolumns #WordPress #block. You can also export a complex grid using the #Figma Layout grid functionality. I’ve updated the playground file with some examples https://t.co/eftOXqYEnI
