In reply to: Dot-style Separator spans two lines since updating to WP 5.8OMG, Alan, that worked perfectly! And a whole lot easier than editing 100 posts to use different separators.
Thanks very much for your help!

In reply to: New EditorInteresting about the spacing variations, I hadn’t noticed it until you pointed it out. With my current theme, using SHIFT-ENTER twice gets it closer to the paragraph block’s spacing; it’s still a little different but not as noticeable as a single SHIFT-ENTER.

In reply to: New EditorHello. Yes, that’s the way the new editor works. If you want to continue typing in the same paragraph block, though, you can use SHIFT-ENTER instead of just ENTER.
The new approach — a block for each paragraph — allows you to apply formatting (font sizes or colors, for example) to the entire block rather than having to select text; and the blocks make it easy to reorder paragraphs by dragging, which I often use when drafting longer posts.
The classic editor doesn’t create blocks, but I think the published post would look the same.
Ok, thanks … I appreciate the response.

In reply to: I am so sick of these glitches@macmanx: Thanks for the explanation about how javascript and autosave might come into play with the bold/space issue. I can see now that waiting for autosave (or saving draft) before switching editors makes a difference. I also agree that the it’s an edge case; and once you know it might happen, you get used to keeping and eye out for it before publishing a post.
I’m not having any of the other issues discussed here … so … bye for now!
🙂

In reply to: I am so sick of these glitchesHello. Not trying to pile on to your discussion, but I can also reproduce this, following @andyvnguyen’s steps. One trick to reproducing it is to switch between the visual and code editor immediately after inserting the space, then switch back to the visual editor, for an unpublished post. When saving to draft or updating a published post, it often works okay, so it’s harder to reproduce. However, even with drafts or published posts, if I have gone back and inserted a space between bolded and regular text, switching from the visual to code editor removes the inserted space (almost all the time).
I saw it happening when Gutenberg was rolled into the core with 5.0; I just thought that was the way it worked — like the editor was trying to clean up the HTML — and have learned to work around it. The problem occurs with italics as well.
I can also reproduce it using the new editor on a WordPress.com blog I have, a free one that therefore has no plugins.
For comparison, I tried the same thing with the classic editor and the behavior is different: the manual space gets inserted between the < strong > and < /strong > tags and stays put even if you switch to the text editor then back to the visual editor.
If this doesn’t help, feel free to delete my reply….. thanks!

In reply to: WordPress 5.0.2 Bug in Classic Block with Jetpack GalleriesThe problem I reported above with classic blocks and tiled galleries no longer occurs with WordPress 5.1, so I marked this as resolved. WooHoo!

In reply to: Category dropdown not display hierarchyHello. Check the categories widget for the “Show hierarchy” setting … select that and republish your site, and your categories should show both the parents and subcategories.

In reply to: Recent Posts showing on Home Page@brianflanagan: you’re welcomed, glad it worked for you, have fun!

In reply to: Recent Posts showing on Home PageDo you have “featured images” on your posts? I tried the Head Blog theme you mentioned, added their “Head Blog: Recent Posts” widget to the right sidebar, and it looks just like their demo: a thumbnail then the post title. I have a featured image assigned to every post, though, and that’s what the widget displays.
I think many of the plugins and themes that provide their own Recent Posts capability or widget rely on you having set a featured image on each post, otherwise they just display the post title. Unless they’re written to specifically do so, they don’t automatically pull an image from the blog post.

In reply to: creating space between paragraphs in postsSomeone more knowledgeable than me might have a better answer, but I use this…
… to force a line break instead of <br>, since <br> doesn’t always work (different browsers may handle it differently even if it did). Be sure to include the semicolon at the end and you can string them together to add more blank lines like …
Hope that works…. 🙂

I have experienced the same problem. If I have posts I created prior to Jetpack 6.9 that contain text and a tiled gallery, when I open them in the block editor, the text and gallery are all contained in a single Classic block. So far so good.
However, if on the Classic block toolbar, I select “Convert to blocks”, the text portion of the original post properly converts to Paragraph blocks, but the tiled gallery is replaced by:
This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed.
I saw that someone reported this on Twitter and according to the tweet, submitted supporting documentation:
Hi! It would be great if you could send more details including a screenshot to us here: https://t.co/ANGtVS4PDJ.

Hope that helps!
DaleYou bet, if it happens again, I’ll leave it in that state and open a support case.
Thanks!
DaleThanks for getting back to me. I just tried the same thing on a page and it worked fine in all four browsers, so no link to share, sorry.
One thing I wondered about was this: I uploaded three of the four images yesterday, and the last one today just before adding it to the post … I see that different sized image files are generated on my host for each image I upload, so if that process wasn’t finished for the last image (I don’t know if that’s possible), could it cause a problem like this?
