I am not looking to edit the core block itself. I agree that would be a bad idea. * What I am looking to do, is streamline the admin. I want to disable the height and width inputs, as I am able to do with other things. I remove various pieces of Gutenberg functionality via a custom theme or plugin (depending on what I am working on). * For example – in the theme.json … * ```wp-block-code "dimensions": {"aspectRatio": false,"aspectRatios": [ { "name": "Normal", "slug": "555", "ratio": "auto" } ],"defaultAspectRatios": false} ``` * renders the Aspect Ratio functionality effectively inoperable. It is not perfect, but it does what I want it to, more or less. * I have a JS file, which among other things, disables the duotone and shadow options… * ```wp-block-code function removeImageSettings( settings, name ) {if ( ! settings?.supports ) { return settings; }if ( name === 'core/image' ) {return Object.assign( {}, settings, {supports: Object.assign( settings.supports, { filter: { duotone: false, }, shadow: false,} ),} );}return settings;}addFilter( 'blocks.registerBlockType', 'modify-block-supports/remove-image-settings', removeImageSettings, ); ``` * I disable the image rounded and default as well … * ```wp-block-code wp.blocks.unregisterBlockStyle( 'core/image', 'default' );wp.blocks.unregisterBlockStyle( 'core/image', 'rounded' ); ``` * None of these edits actually change the core source code. I am just turning options off, and the settings remain after updates to core. * I am hoping to disable the core/image height and width inputs as well and using similar methods. I have a custom image block, that does this. I found the aforementioned image container block that does this too. I was hoping to simply hook into the attributes of the core/image block and disable this feature, like I am able to with other stuff. * Make sense? * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Shortcode to Display Post Count in a Category](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-to-display-post-count-in-a-category/) * [somecodeiwrote](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somecodeiwrote/) * (@somecodeiwrote) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-to-display-post-count-in-a-category/#post-18332673) * Give this a shot … * php => * ```wp-block-code function CategoryCount($atts){$a = shortcode_atts( array( 'category-id' => '555', ), $atts );$CategoryID = $a['category-id'];$CategoryData = get_category( $CategoryID );$CategoryCount = '

Category Count: '.esc_html($CategoryData->count).'

';return $CategoryCount;}add_shortcode('Category_Count', 'CategoryCount'); ``` * Shortcode => * [Category_Count category-id=”42″] * This should work for the standard post, post type (tested on a dev site). * If you need something for a custom post type, you need to pass the custom taxonomy. I can fire over a version for custom post type, if needed. * cheers * scotty * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [more than 6 columns for theme Twenty Twenty Five](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-than-6-columns-for-theme-twenty-twenty-five/) * [somecodeiwrote](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somecodeiwrote/) * (@somecodeiwrote) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/more-than-6-columns-for-theme-twenty-twenty-five/#post-18332404) * You can place a columns block within a column block.

That was one of my primary complaints about Gutenberg. * I have have been working with WordPress for 10 years and had never heard of Meta Box. I’ve always used ACF pro. I’ll check it out. * Beaver Builder, Elementor or WPBakery Page Builder ar the top 3 page builders my customer’s like. Pros and cons to each I suppose. I try to stay agnostic and withing reason, give the client what they prefer. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Classic Editor] Block editor assets still enqueued](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-editor-assets-still-enqueued/) * [somecodeiwrote](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somecodeiwrote/) * (@somecodeiwrote) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-editor-assets-still-enqueued/#post-11805473) * I agree with [@yratof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yratof/) 100%. * I hated Gutenberg when it came out and I am still not a fan. However, I have clients that want to use Gutenberg and the client is king. [ACF blocks](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/blocks/) are the answer for sure. * Every WordPress developer I know is familiar with ACF.

It would be harder to detect if a post were published in one or the other and then enqueue the styles as needed. So, the default is to load up the styles. * It does stand to reason that the styles should be not enqueued or dequeued if someone chooses: (**“Classic Editor” as the default editor && “No” for users can switch between editors**, because it is saying gutenberg will never be used. * For now, I dequeue the styles via a small function. * ``` function remove_block_css(){ wp_dequeue_style( 'wp-block-library' ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_block_css', 100 ); ``` * I have others say they need to use 200, 100 works just fine for me. * I hope that helps. * scotty * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Classic Editor] TinyMCE clobbering multi-line tags with line breaks.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-clobbering-multi-line-tags-with-line-breaks/) * [somecodeiwrote](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somecodeiwrote/) * (@somecodeiwrote) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-clobbering-multi-line-tags-with-line-breaks/#post-10961236) * My understanding is that the classic editor plugin is to render the classic editor“ indistinguishable” from the way it was before Gutenberg, as in the exact same support – but don’t quote me on that, I am not the plugin developer. * My dev site is WordPress 5.0, Classic Editor 1.1, and my from scratch theme ( stripped-down, minimal plugins) and I am able to use the below without issue.

I also have two shortcodes for div’s. The first shortcode opens the div and supports a class: **[open_div class=”CustomClass”]**. The second closed the div. * **Open div:** * ``` function Div($atts){ $a = shortcode_atts( array( 'class' => 'NONE' ), $atts ); $DivClass = $a['class']; $Div = '

For example, if a client centers text in visual mode, as opposed to adding an inline style (which I hate), it now adds a class of text-center. Give that a shot and see if that helps. * As far as the CSS … I often add CSS or JS to a specific page. I got tired of issues with code dropping because clients were using visual mode. So, in every theme I write, I use two opt-in ACFs (conditional logic based on true-false ACFs) that are text fields as opposed to a WYSIWYG (with “no formatting” selected). * I do not include the `
