- Restyling the Accessibility & Usability Panel: We’ll be updating the style of the panel to make it a little more user-friendly (AKA: Improve the usability of the panel).
- Cards: Selecting Link full card adds an empty link to the card. It just needs a little updating with the code.
Glitch Status: Just a little tweak is needed. - Carousel: small glitch with the width and sizing of cards.
Glitch Status: We are looking into it. - Embed Block with YouTube video: Settings for the embed block with a YouTube video are removed when the page is edited again. (Temporary solution: Add the embed block code with the YouTube video to the Embed Code plugin. (Tools > Embed Code)

Glitch Status: Matt is thinking of a solution. - Hero Slider: A slide with a title, caption, and button has the area around the link text linked but not the link.
Glitch Status: We’ll catch that link. - Banner with Boxed Style Options: Editing this banner block is annoying. Cut the
wsu-style--boxed
from the Additional CSS class(es) under Advanced. Fix the banner. Then paste the CSS class back into the Additional CSS class(es) field. - Image Block with alignment and margins: Images that are aligned left or right with custom margin spacing are not displaying with the margin on the page.
Glitch Status: Yep, this should be on the glitch list. - People Directory (people.wsu.edu): Adding people is case-sensitive. Please use all lowercase letters when adding someone to the site.
Use: butch.cougar

Glitch Status: Patience, we’re getting right to it. Submit a web support ticket for general help if you think you have a duplicate profile. - People List Block: To have profiles from the people directory show up on your website, in the people list block don’t select the profile (People Display Settings) and add your profile page link in Advanced. And the people shortcode to the profile page. You’ll need to style the profile page on your website.
Example Shortcode:[ wsuwp_people output="profile" photo_size="medium" display_fields="photo,name,title,university_organization,email,phone"]
- Preview Refresh: Previewing a webpage will refresh after a short time.

Glitch Status: Dan found it! (Fixed 4/5/2023) - Alternative Text for unlinked images in Cards and Hero Banner: Images not linked in cards and hero banners will use the alternative text in the media library. The next phase will be adding the ability to edit the alternative text in the block.

Glitch Status: Dan fixed another one. (Fixed 2/27/2023) - Overlay, Containers, & Images: A frame on an image when the image is smaller than the container will not show the full frame because the frame is attached to the container and not the image.

Glitch Status: Whoop! Whoop! (Fixed 3/8/2023) - People Block with Gallery Block or Card Group Block: Having both of these on a page causes a similar issue as just the People block.
