I second this – having the option for two columns in mobile would be incredibly helpful!

In addition, the ability to specify which column (left or right) goes first would be equally helpful.

I have the most recent version.

It looks like the trouble really started when I moved my server to PHP 8.0, have since moved it back down to 7.4 and things look to be a little better.

I’ll keep an eye on it, but the StudioPress team should be aware. It’s been a while since this plugin was updated, would be good to get a little modernization and review from the developers.

Very interested in categories for patterns

Ben,

I don’t want this feature at all, is there a way to deactivate it across my entire network in one go? I really don’t want to go site by site to turn this off for my users.

I appreciate that several Gutenberg Plugins are providing these template packs, but they should be an option, not a forced event. UAG offered a code snippet to remove their template button from the editor, and it would be great if Kadence could do the same.

Thanks,
Rob Mc

I have gone through several iterations of this, and it still won’t import a YouTube Playlist properly.

By deactivating the duplicate controls and selecting for it to keep going, it still only goes about 15 videos in from the BEGINNING of the playlist, not from the most recently added videos.

I’ve selected the option to organize it by date, but that has accomplished nothing. I’ve increased the number or items it should fetch to infinite (set as “0”), but the issue remains. It starts at the beginning of the playlist and runs through the first 15 videos, then stops and returns nothing.

I can’t imagine there isn’t a way to do this, so what do I have to do to make this plugin work and import videos from a playlist?

It works flawlessly when importing videos from a Channel. But, for a playlist it appears unable to start with the most recent and is unable to go beyond 15 videos no matter what I enter as a limit.

@etruel ,

OK, I deactivated that (it had been active), and now it’s worse. Never gets past the first item in the playlist, according to the detailed log.

There are 77 items in the playlist, with new episodes added each week. I hand entered the first 50 or so, but brought in this plugin to handle it moving forward.

When pulling from a YouTube channel, it finds anything that wasnt’ already there, imports it, and then continues adding new content as it appears.

With a YouTube Playlist, it seems to start from the beginning of the playlist, finds that’s already there, and then stops.

Any updates on custom post types in the Post Block?

I currently use the Ultimate Gutenberg Add-Ons Post Grid block for presenting custom post types, but would love to consolidate block systems and I prefer Atomic for most everything else.

I think that did the trick, @etruel ! Just got a successful import!

Same with me – previous version worked great, current doesn’t.

I’ve kept the previous version on a separate site and it still works. The issue is with 2.5.3 somewhere.

Any progress on this? This is a serious privacy issue and it needs to be resolved.

I checked again on the recent update, 3.34.4, and it still doesn’t appear to be fixed.

Can you advise what is the planned version for this bug to be corrected?

I have the exact same problem and I can verify that I have a feed enabled and set up correctly.

I’ve been using this plugin for years – this is the first time I’ve ever had an issue.

Part of the issue appears to be if the person (or email address, at least) that is signing up already belongs to another list (wordpress users, for example). If that is the case, then nothing happens.

I appreciate your reply, Tammie. When I saw you were involved with the project, I knew you would be able to help. I remember fondly our work together in the initial launch of ThirdScribe.

I’m glad to hear you are taking some inspiration from actual document editing programs, I really feel that is the right direction for actual content creation. Medium is not a good concept for WordPress – it is the wrong direction. I would stay away from it –
to quote Admiral Ackbar “It’s a Trap!”

Blocks work best behind the scenes. I have no idea how Docs works, I only know it as a user. Concerning WordPress and “nested” blocks, I would think that perhaps all text should be in one giant text block and everything else is a nested block inside of that. That way you get to keep blocks but the user has no idea and is never impacted – it’s all “under the hood.”

I’d like to test drive the next version of Gutenberg, but currently I’m having significant difficulty just getting it to load up – haven’t been able to for two days. It just shows me a blank white screen where the Gutenberg editor should be (the classic editor works fine). Not sure what that is, but it’s yet another bug to be squashed. Once that is figured out, I’ll give the next round a go.

Another aspect of Google Docs to consider, besides the “ribbon” menus and such at the top, is that it is actual WYSIWYG. Gutenberg isn’t even close to that right now – will it be? Whether its front or back end means little to me – I (and my clients) want a much improved visual of what we’re making. It should look like the real thing – not kind of like the real thing. This is really important and shouldn’t be ignored or delayed.

Also, everything – blocks, shortcodes, etc, etc – need to be visible. It all needs to resolve when in a visual editor mode (obviously not necessary when in HTML mode). This is not currently happening with Gutenberg – will it be? Again, if we’re going through all of this trouble and expense (and it will be an expense, for me and many others) then it needs to be a significant improvement.

DO NOT treat the community so poorly as to force us to invest so heavily in WordPress and provide a substandard solution. That is deeply unfair to us. If we’re going to invest so much time and money rebuilding plugins, themes, documentation, etc then the Automattic team needs to pull through as well – this editor, when it’s done, better be worth it. Right now it’s got a ways to go. A long ways.

Blocks alone are NOT an improvement. Not as far as the end user is concerned. A better, more intuitive interface that is easy to use and provides true WYSIWYG is an improvement. Anything else is… a waste of time and money.

Thanks again for your reply and your hard work. I’ll be keeping an eye on all of this, of course. But, truly, the actual content editor needs to be a better editing experience with a much improved UI/UX.

I think you need to erase that “drawn line” between Gutenberg and MS Word. Word (or Google Docs) is, literally, the gold standard for creating content. That interface should be driving the Gutenberg team, not Medium.

Everyone on earth – literally, EVERYONE – uses a program like Word or Google Docs to create content. It is universally understood and accepted. Why wouldn’t WordPress, a platform where unfamiliarity and lack of usability is a constant and driving problem, not embrace a universally accepted interface standard for document creation?

The biggest issue with Gutenberg isn’t blocks – it’s the chosen interface. The current Gutenberg interface is simply not good. Everyone comments on this. Even in the tech reviews you see that – people like the vision, like the blocks concept, can see where its going, but hates the actual editor itself.

Please take this seriously. The editor is what needs to be fixed. Everything else, blocks included, should all be under the hood and never seen outside of developers. It should be seamless to the user, just like Word/Docs is.

I also have this problem.

I have Gutenberg active on one subdomain in a multisite network (not network enabled) and it simply keeps repeating “Update Failure” across the top. Can’t publish, can’t preview, can’t save.

Also, the Gutenberg editor itself won’t even load unless I deactivate https for the site. Once I allow “unsafe scripts” in my browser (tested in Chrome, FF, and Opera) I can access the editor.

Sorry for the lengthy follow up — it appears to be a BP problem, as any change to the settings of an established group is changing the group type for me.

Might by purely BP or a factor of the method we used to assign book group types. Regardless, it’s not a GES problem.
