March 17 Open Lab Notes:
What We Are Working on
Web Design System
- Overlap Spotlight: More options added to the spotlight block.
- News Cards (Still in testing): Separate categories and tags can be used to filter the feed. The category selected will not interferr with or add the tag selected.
- Cards: Are now using the alt field instead of the caption field.
- Carousel: Matt is making progress on the carousel. It should be in production soon.
- New theme: A new WordPress theme for the WDS will be ready for beta testing soon (possibly next week). The theme will have an updated site header, search, & quick links options.
Glitch List
- Accessibility Plugin: It is displaying ghost icon on All Pages. It is showing alerts when there isn’t an alert on the page.
- 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)
- Caption covers image using a frame: A quick styling fix will solve this issue. Look for it soon.
Submit a web support ticket to Report a Bug/Issue if you find a glitch.
Byte Size Tutorial
- TablePress: Select the checkbox for Enable Visitor Features to ensure the table is styled with the WDS theme and not the default TablePress style
