I've been experimenting with fluid typography in my BlockFlow prototype. The challenge: Figma doesn't support fluid font sizes, but WordPress does with clamp(). My solution: define min/max values in design tokens, let WordPress handle the rest. 🧵

I’m experimenting with new ways to reduce friction between Figma and WordPress block themes. The handoff is still mostly manual, repetitive, and error-prone.

A few people asked what the Figma-side setup looks like for this "#Figma to #WordPress" workflow, so here’s a quick snapshot. The core configuration lives directly inside the Figma file: Blockflow creates standard Figma variables for the required options, so the setup travels always with the file.

I’m experimenting with exporting a full #Figma file as a #WordPress block theme (templates, patterns, theme.json, fonts, assets). I’m trying to understand what parts of the block-theme workflow are actually worth automating. Feedback and thoughts welcome 🙂

With Full Site Editing maturing in WordPress, do you still rely on Figma (or similar app) for theme design, or has the Site Editor replaced it for you?

For those using Figma: would you find it useful if you could export your whole Figma file as a WordPress Block theme (fonts & images included)? I’m currently building this and testing ideas, If you’d like updates here’s the waitlist:

We're out with update 1.5.0: 👉 Subgrid functionality 👉 Grid layout for the Post template block 👉 Improved frontend rendering performance 👉 and more #WordPress #Gutenberg #plugin #BlockEditor Download ⬇️ advancedcolumns.com 👉 full changelog advancedcolumns.com/...

We're out with update 1.4.4: 👉 Fixed an issue that occurred with nested columns block 👉 Fixed an issue that prevented the complete deletion of the license 👉 Minor bug fixes #WordPress #Gutenberg #plugin #BlockEditor Download here ⬇️ advancedcolumns.com

We're out with update 1.4.3: 👉 Fixed unintended behavior that could affect external dynamic blocks #WordPress #Gutenberg #plugin #BlockEditor Download here ⬇️ advancedcolumns.com

Why I think you need CSS Subgrid, even if you don’t know it yet. 🙃 Take one of the most common layouts you’ll find on almost every website: A simple 2 (or more) column card layout, with 3 elements in each column. 🧵

I’ve been thinking a lot about subgrid, and I believe it’s a highly useful feature for @advancedcolumns.com that can solve some fundamental layout needs. Has anyone here used subgrid in a project before? For example, we’ve already used it on the advancedcolumns.com landing page.

We're out with update 1.4.2: 👉 Added support for shadows on the Columns and Column blocks #WordPress #Gutenberg #plugin #BlockEditor Download here ⬇️ advancedcolumns.com

We're out with update 1.4.1: 👉 New preset option for Columns and Column padding #WordPress #Gutenberg #plugin #BlockEditor Download here ⬇️ advancedcolumns.com

We’re live with a major new update! This is a big one, and it’s the first step toward third-party block responsiveness 👀

It might be a niche feature, but I use this approach a lot in my designs, so we’ve implemented a golden grid builder inside the new Advanced Columns 1.4.0—because, why not? 🤓 #WordPress

Hello 🦋 #WordPress friends! 👋 Sharing some news about the upcoming 1.4 update for the Advanced Columns plugin! There are many new features, but the biggest one is likely full responsive Flexbox support in each individual column, along with responsive attributes for third-party blocks! 👀
