- WordPress default themes Twenty Twelve to Twenty Seventeen will now load Google fonts locally, making them GDPR-compliant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- More styling for Gutenburg blocks, adding global and preblock custom CSS (Although we hate Gutenburg! This is a big move for them).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can now define your own minimum font size instead of the hardcoded 14px default size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to use the minimum font size in your theme
Within theme.json, the property settings.typography.fluid now accepts an object in addition to the existing boolean value. Setting fluid to true will use the default minimum font size of 14px; however, themes can now provide an object with a minFontSize property instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n{
“settings”: {
“typography”: {
“fluid”: {
“minFontSize”: “15px”
}
}
}
}<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can also change the font size in your code block (if you want, I think just changing it in your elementor options is much easier, but if you need to here is an example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A paragraph at 15px<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-WordPress 6.2 introduces a new method called wp_theme_has_theme_json() that returns whether the active theme or its parent has a theme.json<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can be useful if we’re changing styling in the json file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of changes that allow changes to theme.json file for more customizability (not sure we’ll be using this).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- A new feature with Patterns API. The Patterns API is a powerful feature in WordPress that allows developers to create pre-designed blocks of content that can be easily inserted into posts, pages, custom post types, and templates. (Basically seems like our template builder for each site, but we can save a bunch of different templates to use for future sites, which essentially we can do with elementor by exporting a generic template).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
-We can now opt in to margin-free styles, which will remove the default margin. To opt in to the new margin free styles – set the __nextHasNoMarginBottom prop to true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All in all it seems to be a lot of changes to the gutenburg blocks and customizability to the theme.json file (which again, a lot of this we probably won’t be using due to the ease of using elementor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
