WP 7.0 Support: Campaigns, Donate Block and the iFrame Editor
WordPress 7.0 comes out on May 20th, so this update includes various fixes in preparation for that release, including:
- Ensuring background colour and size work in the editor preview for Campaigns
- Ensuring frequency layout appears correctly in the editor for the Donate Block
- Fixes for various blocks in the editor
Add ‘Posts Page’ as an option for Campaigns in Archives
In WordPress, when you have a static homepage set, you also have an option to select a ‘Posts Page’, a static page that will display all of your posts in reverse chronological order. This page acts like other archives: it paginates the posts, and inherits the theme’s archive settings.
In this release, we’ve included the posts page as a display option for campaigns in archives. Previously, this page wasn’t factored in at all, so any campaign assigned to any archive type would show on the Posts Page, even if it was gated to a specific category type.
Going forward, the Posts Page can be excluded from showing campaigns set to show in archives, unless they’re explicitly selected.
