Despite not being a developer, I do like to tinker. I’m diving deeper into Full Site Editing in WordPress. I’m impressed by the ability to create templates, patterns, and styles inside the admin. The UX is clunky and I’ve spent a considerable amount of time clicking around to find things, but overall I like it.
The query loop block could be more powerful than it is; it’s lacking a lot of functionality. This plugin extends it nicely and adds some missing features like multiple post types.
Post formats are mostly gone in FSE themes and I wish they weren’t. You can re-enable by editing the functions file, but that is not quite as easy with FSE as the Theme File Editor is gone. And yes, I know, it’s not the best place to edit php (but I’m working in a playground environment).
