Block overrides

thisis may contain a number of overrides to Gutenberg server rendered blocks which didn't behave the way I expected. These overrides should continue to work even when the PRs to fix the bugs have been implemented.

These overrides may have been copied / cobbled from Fizzie and/or SB.

• core/template-part - does not call wpautop()
• core/navigation-link - changes hardcoded https://s.b/wp55/thisis to site_url()
• query-loop - Adds support for orderby=rand

Brief development history

ThisIs... is my third attempt to develop a theme using Full Site Editing. It's the first one where I tried to use the Site Editor to build the theme.

Some of the templates and template parts that I built are exported to .htm files. Since the file extensions are not .html then these files will not be found by the Site Editor until manually renamed.

Once again I've found the need to use shortcodes in some template parts. The plugins upon which the template parts are dependent are:

• oik
• oik-css
• oik-fields
• sb-breadcrumbs-block
• sb-children-block
• sb-post-edit-block
• sb-prevnext-block
• Yoast SEO - used by sb-breadcrumbs-block

The following plugins are also used during development and cloning to the live site.

• oik-bwtrace
• oik-clone
• oik-patterns
• oik-types
