How to Test Blocks for Classic Themes

—

At our agency, Pauli Systems, we worked with many websites that were not yet Gutenberg-ready. Slowly, clients were moving towards the block editor. For a first evaluation on how the existing theme performs with the block-editor, we used this Gist from GitHub for a first review.

Gist Updated September 23, 2021

  • Fixed dead references to images, video, and audio blocks
  • Moved single button blocks inside the Buttons block
  • Added Social Profile Icons.
  • Added a Page List

Gist updated on June 9th, 2021

  • Added a Cover block and removed the page breaks so the jumps would work.

How to use this page?

  • Create a new page in draft on your site where the theme you want to test is already installed
  • Switch to code editor view via the 3-dot Menu in the editor
  • In a second tab or new window, go to the Gist on GitHub
  • Click on the Raw button on the top right of the code display
  • Highlight the whole text with Command+A or Ctrl+A
  • Paste it in the editor code view of your test page
  • Update / save draft your page.
  • Click Preview

Note: The jump links do not work when there are page breaks on the page.

Let’s talk about the Page Break in Quotes

This block allows you to set break points on your post. Visitors of your blog are then presented with content split into multiple pages.

Maybe someone else said it better — add some quoted text.

What it is

It is nonsense
says reason
It is what it is
says love

It is calamity
says calculation
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It is hopeless
says insight
It is what it is
says love

It is ludicrous
says pride
It is foolish
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is 
says love.

Examples of Paragraphs

The experimental columns with nested blocks: two columns, each with a title, a graphic, a teaser and a link.

Careful, though, nested blocks are still very experimental

Now let’s look a broader look at donors in general. Many nonprofits decide that it is easier to use a technical tool called Software as a Service (SaaS), to help organize their fundraising than it is to do the administrative work themselves. There are many donation management service companies, each of which has their own privacy policy regarding the protection of data.

Most of the ones we have researched treat donor data as the property of the nonprofit organization as opposed to the individual owning their data. In addition to the email data described above, more detail is suggested to help improve campaign results and event attendance. For example, if you ask donors to list their employer, it is because a simple search by the SaaS provider can identify those firms doing matching contributions.

If your wife has a separate income, the same may apply to her. Your employer may want to make a contribution regardless of matching funds, and the information is requested about who should be approached. Care to approach a relative or neighbor for a contribution, then you become a source for their data.
