NonprofitPress 6+

Enhanced Writing Experience

Writing improvements abound, whether you’re writing a brand new post or adding elements to an existing page. Explore more ways to streamline your content creation process, including:

• Select text across multiple blocks and edit it all at once.
• Type two open brackets [[ to quickly access the link menu.
• Keep existing styles when you transform some blocks from one kind to another—from a Paragraph block to a Code block, for instance.
• Create customized buttons and any new buttons you make will retain the style customizations automatically.
• Make tag clouds and social icons even more appealing with updated settings and controls, and a new outline style for the tag cloud.

Style Switching

Block themes now include the option to contain multiple style variations. This expands the new Style system even further and enables shortcuts to switch the look and feel of your site all within a single theme. You can change both the available settings, like the font weight, and the style options, like the default color palette. Change the look and feel of your site with just a few clicks.

More Template Choices

NonprofitPress 6.0 includes five new template options: author, date, categories, tag, and taxonomy. These additional templates provide greater flexibility for content creators. Tailor each with the tools you already know or with the following new options in this release.

Featured Image Covers

Featured images can be used in the cover block. Plus, new featured image sizing controls make it easier to get the results you want.

Integrated Patterns

Patterns will now appear when you need them in even more places, like in the quick inserter or when creating a new header or footer. If you’re a block theme author, you can even register patterns from the Pattern Directory using theme.json, enabling you to prioritize specific patterns that are most helpful to your theme’s users.

Better List View

New keyboard shortcuts enable you to select multiple blocks from the list view, modify them in bulk, and drag-and-drop them within the list. List View can be opened and closed easily; it comes collapsed by default and it automatically expands to the current selection whenever you select a block.

Block Locking Controls

Now you can lock your blocks. Choose to disable the option to move a block, remove a block, or both. This simplifies project handover, allowing your clients to unleash their creativity without worrying about accidentally breaking their site in the process.

New Stories Content

You can now add lots of new content types to integrated Web Stories, powered by Google.

Options include GIFs, videos, still pictures, and background audio – directly in the editor!
