Website creation, management and development, part-13 (block editor and important tips)

Block editor

A new block editor is now available in the WordPress website. Through this, we can edit different paragraphs in different forms. Each paragraph exists as a separate block. ‘Verse’ block is used for poetry. For writing Quotes, writing the source of references and provide other light or special information, Quote ‘block’ is used. It also enhances the beauty of the post. If we have to provide a book or file for download for free, then keep it in the ‘file’ block. How many such files are downloaded, it will also be shown in the website’s ‘stat’ button. Media blocks are used to show a picture or video.

Some other important information related to the website

Buttons like the reader’s tags, likes etc. are stored in the name of the account holder, not in the name of the website. Therefore, by opening the website with two different accounts, they will look different. This happens where there are many members of a website, such as admin, moderator, writer etc.

Initially or for one year, the website service provider collects less payment for hosting and domain. That is, the domain name is given free. There are also many companies giving domain names. Some also offer free service.

To create a pop up follow button one has to sign up on Mailchimp. Only one audience can be made on the free plan. The meaning of the audience is the person visiting the website here. On creating an audience, click the pop up subscribe button from the menu bar. A code is generated.  It is to be copy-pasted in the mailchimp widget of the website. Then press the Final Publish button. It is done.

A header image is one that appears on every page and post. We set it with customizer. A featured image is one that is only for a single page or post. We set it with edit button.

Changing the theme does not necessarily bring all the old settings and styles on the new theme. Many times a lot of hard work has to be done again. If a theme looks wrong, you can also switch to the old theme. The same old setting will be found again. I call this ‘w’ button (at the top of the website, on the left) mostly as the setting button. It can also be called a customizer button. Press the ‘design’ button after pressing the ‘w’ button. There will be a ‘themes’ button under it. It will contain the name and information of your current theme. There will also be information about all other available themes. To see all the old themes and revert them, press the ‘Activity’ button under Tools. All your previous themes will be found there with their prefixed settings / customization.
