Gutenberg Block #249
Comments
Hi @bricedupuy, There are plans to do this sometime in the future. The reason why there isn't a WPP Gutenberg block as of yet (and I'm going to quote myself from a comment I left on the support forums here) is this:
Since I don't know how exactly the Gutenberg team is planning to do this it'd be a waste of time for me to go and implement a WPP block to then later realize -for example- that the widget can be used as a Gutenberg block as it is now without me having to do any code changes (unlikely IMO but who knows?) So, as stated in the comment, I'd rather wait and see. |
It's been a while but figured I'd post an update here since you (and everyone else reading this) might be interested. Since Full-Site Editing is coming soon I decided it was time to give Gutenberg another try. It turns out that there's a Legacy Widget block (recently introduced) that provides some compatibility with existing non-block based, third-party widgets. Unfortunately though at the time of writing it doesn't work very well with WordPress Popular Posts. Due to the above and since I was curious anyways I started coding a custom WPP block. You can see a small preview here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cabrerahector/playing-around-gutenberg There's still a lot of work ahead before I can share it publicly (the animated preview in that post is already "old", I added more changes & features within the past few days). So far progress has been promising, it's been more fun than I expected. If everything goes well I might publish the new block and label it as experimental / expect-minor-issues for everyone to try out. Hopefully before FSE launches, that's if work / life allows it haha. |
The WPP block is now available to everyone without needing to enable the experimental features option (see 218abca) so I'm closing this now. |
Any chance you could make a Gutenberg Block with the features you already have?
