  • Tag
  • Other custom taxonomies

Export Your Block Theme with All The Changes
WordPress 6.0 now allows you to save and export all the changes you made to your block theme.




WordPress will prepare a theme zip file that includes all the changes you made using the full site editor. You can then download and install that theme on any other WordPress website.

New Blocks in Block Theme Editor

WordPress 6.0 brings many new blocks that you can now use inside the theme editor.

1. Comment Query Loop


WordPress 6.0 replaces the Post Comments block with the new Comment Query Loop block.

It comes with sub-blocks like comment author name, avatar, comment content, edit link, and more. You can edit them individually to style your comments on your WordPress blog for a more engaging experience.




2. Read More Block


You can now add a Read More block to your post excerpts in WordPress 6.0. This allows you to apply more styling options to make the Read More link more noticeable.




3. No Results in Query Loop


When adding a Query Loop block, you can now insert the No Results block inside it.

However, the block will only be available when your selected query doesn’t have any results.


4. Post Author Biography


The new post author biography block can now be used along with Post Author and Avatar blocks.




5. Avatar


The avatar block allows you to display a user’s Avatar (profile photo). You can choose if you want to display the Avatar for a specific user or display the current post/page author’s avatar.
