Noteworthy: this release contains an update to how the block editor is auto-enabled in the app—it has moved from an app-wide setting in your profile to a per-site setting in site settings.
What to Test
To prepare:
- Completely uninstall and re-install the app so that you have a fresh install of the app.
To test:
- Go to My Sites > Settings and observe the “Use block editor” setting is disabled. Open any post containing blocks. Go to My Sites > Settings and observe the “Use block editor” setting is now enabled. (12066)
- Go to My Sites > Settings and disable the “Use block editor” setting. Close and re-open the app. Switch sites. Switch back. Check to make sure the classic editor opens for the site where “Use block editor” was disabled when creating a new post or editing a post created with the classic editor. (12066)
- Try to break the “Use block editor” setting. Does it do anything you did not expect? (12066)
Start a new post in the block editor.Open an existing post or draft that has content already, tap on the title, tap the + icon at bottom left, check that an “Add Block Here” indicator is shown. (1219)- Open a post, select the post title, add any “non-text” block (
image,video,more,separator, orpage break), and make sure the cursor is no longer active in the post title. (1231) - Start with a site with the timezone set a day ahead of your local timezone. Go to My Sites > Stats > Days/Weeks/Months/Years and check that a “Site timezone” label appears showing the offset from UTC.(12159)
- Go to My Sites > Stats > Days/Weeks/Months/Years and verify changing the date via the bar or the chart works as expected and matches the same view from Calypso (especially the Days view). (12159)
- Go to My Sites > Stats > Insights and verify Today shows today’s stats. Go to Year > View more and verify the date bar behaves as expected. Verify the Latest Post Summary chart is correct. (12159)
- Go to My Sites > Stats > Latest Post Summary and click a post to open post stats and verify the date and chart behaves correctly and that the chart data is correct. (12159)
- Go to My Sites > Settings and change the site timezone. Go to My Sites > Stats and verify the date bar is updated accordingly. (12159)
