Next week, @greenshady and I will host a casual conversation about building block themes with a special focus on enhancements coming in WordPress 6.3 and those planned for 6.4. We will also discuss common challenges and pain points, review existing solutions, and hopefully identify new improvements to WordPress that would make block theming easier for developers and users alike.
To get the conversation started, the session will begin with a brief demonstration of the changes coming to the Site Editor in 6.3, notably page management and new editing flows.
Discussion Topics
- How WordPress 6.3 will impact block theme development
- Ways to add functionality to block themes beyond what’s available in Core
- Pain points and other challenges inhibiting block theme adoption
If you’re interested in joining, the Hallway Hangout will happen on Thursday, June 15, 2023, at 1:00 PM CST (18:00 UTC). The meeting link will be shared through the Learn WordPress Meetup group. RSVP for the event to access the link. Everyone is welcome, but if you have begun building block themes for clients or are interested in block theming, this session is especially for you!
Props to @greenshady for review.
