Done! ??

That is great… thanks again ??

Thank you that is very helpful.

I assume that I can find all the filters [from here](https://github.com/futtta/autoptimize/blob/97e27fa705d6848733fa5c796b37b332c09526d1/autoptimize_helper.php_example), or do I need to look elsewhere?

@bcworkz I spent a day with custom blocks and it wasn’t too bad. Already made a few of them.

Basically I have landing pages, which are almost all the same. I want to be able to drop various pre-built “sections” in each one, and reorder them, maybe change the wording, etc. Custom blocks allows me to do this, but I forsee it being a nuisance to maintain. Something easier would be preferable.

I didn’t realize ACF was EASIER – thanks for telling me. I’ll definitely look into it now!

@ts_hamlet Yes I also have php templates for various pages. But what I really wanted was “micro” templates, which would themselves be used on various landing pages. Basically, custom blocks / widgets that can be pulled in where necessary. I’m not sure that can be done as you’ve said?

Regardless, I found another two ways.

One is to have a “reusable block” and simply “convert” it to regular blocks each time it’s used. Ugly but works. You must place your blocks in a “group” block, and save that as the reusable block.

Another is to create a “custom block”. I didn’t want to get into that because I prefer to avoid php/react, but turns out it’s quite simple. That’s the route I’m taking and the result is a proper “template” widget. What also helps is that there are countless custom blocks on the wordpress marketplace, so you can look at the source for any of them.

The gold standard I think though, is to use ACF or one of the two open source alternatives (“Carbon Fields” or “CMB2”). But I’m worried about the learning curve – I just want to get stuff done, that’s why I’m trying to move my stuff from “proper” platforms to WordPress.

@ts_hamlet I also want to create reusable templates. I wrongly assumed reusable blocks could be used for that. Then I found this post!

Am I right in understanding (this is a long complex post) that the only way is to use ACF? Can I use the free version?

Do you maybe have a link to where you learned how to use it to create templates? There’s loads of stuff for ACF, but not that I can find for this specific use case.

Many thanks.

Lol… There’s a new link in the menu. So many items in there that didn’t even notice it!

thanks

@optimizingmatters When you say “page cache” I assume you mean the browser’s cache?

@melchoyce Thanks for clarifying!

So am I correct in understanding that this is gutenberg’s “dev” / “preview” / “insiders” / “beta” / “edge” / whatever term you’re comfortable with?

So if I’m content with its current feature set, I don’t need to install it, and then I’m effectively on the “stable” branch?

I’m not sure how to do it so that it looks nice. Having double the number of links would make things messy. But you understand the basic idea.

Maybe instead of “not optimize” it could be an icon link (e.g. exclamation mark) or something like that, so that it’s small.

collection1 (10 !)
or
collection1 (10) !
or
a hover-only link that is only visible when you hover over that element
or
something like that, I’m not sure…

I know why this doesn’t work – bad markup.

The table that wraps that stuff is: <table class="form-table">.

It contains incorrect html. No wonder it doesn’t work.

I assume other browsers fix/ignore incorrect markup (like IE is known to do), but on firefox it refuses to render semantically incorrect markup.

Check that section and you’ll see what I mean. Firefox actually shows that markup in red when you “view source”.

@hchouhan: There is no link, it looks like the screenshot posted by @peeyabbs.

It shows the text “Add another rule”, but there is no link/button.

I thought maybe it’s a plugin, but the blocking / malware / etc. plugins are all disabled for my wordpress site. So I don’t think anything is interfering.

Strange…

I have the same problem.

It says “Add another rule”, but there is no button.

I’m using Firefox (latest version).
I’m using the latest version of the plugin.
