Sorry for the delay. I got sidetracked fixing the issue on the Home page even before moving things. I'm happy to report that I have resolved the slider issue, and I've moved over changes from the development site.
At this point, you can go in and edit Quick Links (please be sure to use 5), and any other changes you may need. I've already copied the footer over, and I'll be sweeping through for other odds & ends.

I've polished up the obvious things and I feel good with the transition to the revised theme.
I went ahead and added some Quick Links just so there wasn't an empty space in that spot.
I believe I've covered all the bases, but with this many moving parts it's easy to overlook something or find something new, so if you see anything out of place please let us know and we'll address it.

Hello Violet,
I will touch base with our content person to set up a training with you next week. He was out of the office today so I could not set something up. We will reach out early next week with some possible dates and times.

Good Morning Arthur,
We are closing the church building this Wednesday due to a transformer installation. This would be a great time to use the Alert Feature on the home page. How do I access this?

Ryan,
I want to apologize in advance for all the emails you may get from me in the coming days.
Our staff is updating their page content and I noticed that the default in the old word press ‘page content’ is still LATO and it should be Georgia. We will continue to us the old word press page content area until we have the training for the Gutenberg word press.
In the meantime, can you please fix this.
Thanks for your understanding.

The news and events button on the home page should be linked to this new events page. Is this something we do on our end?

Violet,
The page/category for which you link the News & Events button on the home page is up to you. Previously, it went to a landing page of several categories. I had already updated the links on that page, and left the link on the News & Events button alone.
I got a separate message about this same thing from Donna, so I went ahead and updated the link for News & Events to be the Parish Events category: Parish Events – Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (setonlakeridge.org)
You can edit this in the Featured Links section of the Home page.
As for the default being Georgia and 14pt, it is, for both Classic Block and legacy page builder versions. What won't happen is pre-existing content will not reflect the new defaults. This goes against the very nature of what you have asked for, the ability to customize text as you desire. So, if the text is already set to Lato and 18pt (or any other combination), it will be honored and not overwritten by the theme, and the editor will show the selected styles accordingly.
If you create a new section, you'll see that the default is indeed Georgia and 14pt.

Ryan,
Thanks for the information below. With regards to the text font. Our font prior to the new updates was always Georgia 14. I don’t know how it got set to Lato 18. I saw Lato 18 on the test site and asked about this before. But since it was only on the test site and not the live site I did not pay too much attention to this.
I don’t know why and who changed the default to Lato.

Violet,
I've replied in the other thread to Donna, which you are also included on.
The re-ordering functionality has not changed. That said, when I first went to the Re-Order option, the category was set to SEAS Spotlight, just like it is in your screenshot. Changing this to "Parish Events" showed the current posts in Parish Events and allowed me to re-order them.
Make sure the Category matches the posts you want to re-order.

Also, for the alert, it was supposed to allow for links and images in the content of the pop up. I don’t see any edit tool that allows us to do this.

Found another Item to fix. In Gutenberg editor, the paragraph font is Georgia; but when you select heading 1, 2, 3, etc. 2, etc they default to Lato.
Should be Georgia.

You can disable it by deleting content. As long as there's no title, text, or image the alert will not show.
As far as Image, Text, and Link, all of the options are there just like they were in the dev site, so I'm not quite sure what you mean by links and images in the content. Your test has an Image.
When I check this on the backend, the link option is there, just not being used. Are you not seeing the Link option?

Ryan,
Whew. So glad Holy Spirit has their alert enabled. We requested our design/functionality to be the same as their alert. Here is their link
https://holyspiritchurch.us/
At one point their alert also had links within their content. And we wanted to be able to insert media. Such as an image, etc. in the content. The picture that I created on our test page is an image header.
When we spoke with Veronica about the alert, we referenced this site. When Danae created the design, we saw the design; but did not see the functionality capability till today.

Violet,
Alert
We can alter the functionality of the alert, but this is the first I'm hearing that it should be different than what's been on the dev site for a few months now. Did you not test the alert on the dev site? When I review the mockup for this, I see consistency with what was designed and what was delivered.
I'll need to consult with Arthur on this, as there seems to be some missing information, and either miscommunication or misunderstanding on what was meant by "links and images in the content of the alert".
Headings
I'm not quite sure where this fell through the cracks, or if it was ever brought up to begin with. I honestly couldn't find any reference or request to changing the headings from Lato to Georgia. I searched all of Basecamp. It's possible I missed it, and if so just let me know where that request was made.
As it stands the dev site currently features all headings as Lato, which would be consistent with the backend Gutenberg editor. Here's a few pages that show Lato being used for headings: Pastoral Council – Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (diocesanweb.org), Search Results for “leaders” – Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (diocesanweb.org), Via Vita – Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (diocesanweb.org)
You can understand my confusion when you say it should be Georgia, but the dev site has Lato for headings font.

Ryan,
I did not test the alert in the test site; because I thought it was more for design purposes. I did not know we can test it out or how to test it out. Otherwise, I would have. And brought the functionality capabilities to Arthur’s attention. This is the first time I actually used the alert plugin after you shared the link.
Yes, the mock up shows the design; but when we discussed the design with Danae we also mentioned all the other functionality as well. We spoke about this with Veronica, Kyle (first developer), Danae and Arthur. It’s also on the initial contract from Veronica; which is to “Allow for links and images in the content of the popup”.
I’m sorry you are only hearing this now from me.
If you need more clarification, please let me know and we can discuss this; preferably over the phone as going back and forth over email can sometimes be confusing.
Thanks,
Violet

FYI – I took a pic. Some things have evolved from this when we were doing the design with Danae. For example, the placement, color, and size of the alert icon, etc. We also decided to have the icon displayed when there is an alert.

I've completed the changes to the Alert, as well as updated Headings to Georgia. I classified the latter as a new request since I couldn't identify a previous request to have the headings changed.
Alert now supports WYSIWYG content where you can add images and links within the content.
Headings have been converted to default to Georgia, and will reflect accordingly on the site anywhere they were not explicitly set to something else. The Classic editor and Gutenberg also reflect this adjustment.

Good Morning Ryan!
Thank you for updating the alert settings. I appreciate it. I also appreciate you for taking care of the default fonts so quickly. I’m not sure what happened either. Prior to all the updates, our old site had Georgia. But the new test site had Lato. Again, the only thing we wanted with regards to the font was change the default size from 12 to 14. So glad I don’t have to go back and fix all the headers.
I will be going through all the pages in the next few days and let you know if I come across anything else.
Many Thanks,
Violet

Hi Violet,
Unfortunately, I could not replicate the problem. I do not see the alert icon when viewing the site. I checked the alert settings and they are empty, which suggests the site is behaving properly.
If you still see the icon, can you try a hard refresh (CTRL-F5) ?

Thanks for checking. I did a hard refresh and I also cleared my cache. It’s still displaying on my monitor; but I just checked on donna’s and it’s not displaying on hers.
Not sure why that is.

Hello Ryan,
The preview button doesn't seem to be working. I updated the silver foxes page and wanted to preview the page before publishing it and this is what I got.
Apparently, in order for me to view the changes, I need to publish then view in a new tab.

Hello Ryan,
Do you know of any online horizontal fundraising thermometers that you can recommend for our site?
We have an upcoming capital campaign and we would love to have this feature on our website.
Here's an example of what I found.

Hi Violet,
Capital Campaign - There are a number of things built in affecting spacing. Namely, paragraph and columns blocks have margins beneath them, and Headings have margins above and beneath. You won't be able to detect margins from the source code itself.
To further complicate the issue, you had an empty paragraph block at the bottom of the top columns, as well as had a columns block inside a columns block. Appearance-wise it works, but each columns block has a margin-bottom.
I've deleted the empty paragraph block and surgically removed the outer columns block. It's the best you're doing to get with the chosen blocks arrangement.
You can toggle "List view" (the three staggered dashes icon) and will show you the structure of your blocks. Hovering them will also highlight them. Rather handy for flushing out unwanted blocks.

Previews - This is a known issue with Advanced Custom Fields, and fortunately we recently found a workaround to make Wordpress previews handle the custom fields correctly. We've applied the fix so previews should work as expected
Progress Bar - I personally haven't had the need to build such a progress bar so I don't have much experience to work with on this one. They aren't all that complicated but does require some coordination whether that be handled by theme or block.
There are probably some existing solutions and/or blocks that we may be able to install. You may consider google searches like "Fundraiser progress bar wordpress" or "gutenberg progress bar block" and see if there's anything out there. Worst case, I could build a custom block to handle this in a semi-automated way. Meaning you'd need to periodically update the statistics in the block manually as it wouldn't be linked to the actual campaign. Something like that would take a half-hour to an hour of development time.

Hello Ryan,
Thanks for the information. And the list function you showed is very helpful. I remember discussing the whole margins with you for our site. In the old wordpress you were able to adjust the margins/padding etc. Is that true with the Gutenberg editor. Thus can you adjust the margins between blocks? i.e above and below.
We learned the media with text block today and so I am using that instead of the columns. But the margin between the picture and the text is quite substantial. Can we make it similar with the rest please?
[cid:image001.png@01D7B52E.001F66E0]
I will do some more research on the fundraising like you suggested.
Thank you again,
Violet

The outer left and right margins need to be 2.5 %. The left side looks fine. But the Right margin for blocks also need to be adjusted. Please see pic.

Violet,
The Media with Text combo block apparently had a built in 8% left and right margin on the content portion. That's why you were seeing so much space between the image and content, and even more noticable next to the edge on the right.
I've adjusted it so that the margin on left is 2.5% and on the right is 0 so the content container will go flush to the edge of the site's 2.5% margin.

I sure can. However, I looked and didn't see any obvious issues with columns and margins. In this screenshot, I'm highlighting the third column on the capital campaign page. The blue is the container for the column and you can see it goes flush to the edge of where the page margin of 2.5% is.

Does the container itself have it’s own built in margin for the right side? Just curious.
Thanks for looking into this.

Violet,
No, the Columns container does not have any padding or margin. It goes edge to edge.
If there was padding, and I highlighted the third column, it would look like this:
Digging a little further, I see that there is a Blockquote inside that third column, which does have padding and margin on it. That's probably what you are seeing. A blockquote may not be best for that spot. Consider a paragraph instead.

Good morning Violet,
The Contact Information section of the Footer has been fixed. It was an issue with the addition we made the other day to fix the Preview issue. The preview fix was a little too aggressive so we adjusted it so that it wouldn't interfere with the non-preview calculations.

Good morning Ryan,
I hope you day is going well. Just a couple of items that I wanted to follow up on.
1. In news and events, the pictures with links should have that raise and grow effect. Likewise, when we attach a link to a picture in other pages, the pictures should also have a raise and grow effect (as discussed when we were going over the design of the via vita landing page). We decided then that any pictures with links will have a similar effect.
1. The new calendar feature. When I enable the calendar, its set to display on the bottom of the page (please see pic). We would like to be able to add the calendar on the right/left/center or within the content of the page. Please reference the following link https://setonshrine.org/the-fearlessness-of-st.agnes-and-mother-seton/. As you will see, the calendar is displayed within the content. Will it be similar to the old wordpress where we add the calendar code to the content?
Thank you,
Violet

Hello Ryan,

Violet,
The calendars are a bit tricky but the things you need to know are that we built it so that it would go in a sidebar, not just anywhere. I don't know if there was a miscommunication somewhere down the line, all I can tell you is I was asked to make it a sidebar feature and styled like the mockup. In order to accomplish the look of that calendar, we had to make separate calendars. These are titled with (sidebar) to distinguish their styles.
Now, the special calendar sidebar showing up after the content was an oversight on our part, as we failed to account for the now two types of content. The former page builder content, and now the gutenberg content. Each of these are distinctively different in their preparation. So, to accommodate this we had to create a "location" for the calendar to know which sidebar content it actually is, upper gutenberg or lower original. I've already fixed this on the Via Vita page yesterday.
Moving forward, you could use shortcodes to show calendars within the content if you'd like. That would certainly work, you just have to manage your own location for it. The Capital Campaign page does not have a calendar on it, so I didn't edit anything on that page.

Hello Ryan,
Thanks for the quick response. Especially since Fr. B want the calendar up on the capital campaign page. I removed it because it didn’t look right.
Yes, I believe there is miscommunication. The mock up was to just show us what the new calendar style/format would look like. We did not want it to be hard coded to a specific area. Which is why when I spoke to Veronica and Danae, I referenced the seton shrine link as a sample of the style.
How can I use the new style calendar within a content? Where do I get the code? Also, did you see my email about the Gutenberg image pro? How do we access this plugin?
Appreciate all your help.
Thanks,
Violet

I'm a little surprised the calendar functionality didn't come up during testing on the dev site. I've gone ahead and converted the calendar sidebar functionality to a Gutenberg block. The block is named "Calendar (List)". In the block itself you'll choose the calendars which have been prepared for list styling (those denoted with (sidebar)).
Now you'll be able to use the calendar list view anywhere within Gutenberg.
As for Gutenberg image pro, no I did not see that. I looked back through this thread and didn't see it or recall hearing about it in development.

Ryan,
You’re the best. Thanks for resolving this. We discussed all the features of the calendar with Veronica and Kyle. Both took notes as there were many times they would offer up options and suggest functions/features we would not know to consider. Veronica assured us she would pass all her notes to the next person. I believe I’ve also discussed it with Arthur and Danae. So when Danae designed it, I thought all was good. On the dev site, we saw the calendar and it looked fine. But we were never ‘trained’ on how to use anything new. We only saw how things would look like.
Regarding the Gutenberg image slider pro. This was something Veronica had suggested and so we opted to include this in the contract. The features she described would meet some of the needs we want. I cut and pasted a pic of the contract. Again, it wasn’t discussed in much detail, if any, on the dev site because we were waiting to be trained on it.

Violet,
I've purchased a license, installed, and activated the Gutenslider Pro plugin as documented in the agreement.
I'll defer to Arthur on included training or not, but you can get a head start either way by visiting their documentation on how to use it: https://gutenslider.org/gutenslider-tutorial-how-to-add-sliders-to-your-wordpress-website/
When you ask "Also, on the front end, there will be no visual changes to the slider, correct?" we assume you are referring to the Home page hero slider. I can confirm that the presence of the plugin itself will not cause any visual changes to the home page hero section. The two elments are mutually exclusive. The gutenslider plugin will be used for content only, wherever you want to create sliders, using the Gutenslider Pro block. The hero slider on the home page will remain the same in both presentation and administration.

We will not be able to train you on this plugin because you are our first client using it so we would have to learn it then teach you and we are past the two hours of Gutenburg training.
There are some videos on Youtube that show how to make it work. I can list a few for you below to get you started. I just looked up on Youtube, 'How to use Getenslider Pro' and these links came up. I think the first one has a guy narrating what he's doing as he shows how to use it.

Hello Arthur,
Thank you for the youtube suggestions below. They were very helpful. My understanding, however, is that when we purchase a new plugin, the training to use the plugin is included and free.
Also, one of the reason we wanted the plugin is because it was supposed to allow us to control the home page slider. We would then be able to control the transition time, the duration of the slides, etc. How do we do this for the home page? And where can I find it on the home page?
Thank you again!

Hello Ryan,
Thanks for taking care of this. It seems to still bump into each other just a tad bit. Can you please decrease the grow effect a little bit more.
Also, we noticed that when viewing our site on a smaller laptop, the text on the donate button below moves to the second line. Can you fix this?
Appreciate it,
Violet

Ryan,
Thanks for installing this. I was asking Arthur and maybe you can help with this; but part of the reason we purchased this is because it would allow us to control the transition time and duration of the slider on the home page? How do we do that?
Also, thank you for providing the tutorial link. It was very helpful; as were the youtube videos that Arthur sent. I did not see how to control the time/duration. Plus, are there tutorials that you know of for the pro features below?

Hello Violet,
I'm sorry for the late response.
No, there is no free training with the plugin. I'm glad the youtube videos helped though! As for the homepage's slider - Ryan and I discussed implementing Gutenslider on the homepage and we will have to do some testing before we can say if it's possible or even effective. The other option is to use the same slider on the homepage and make it so you have access to determine the slide speed.
Let us know what you would like to do!
Thanks and God bless,

Hi Violet,
I'm following up on the Gutenslider Homepage request. Gutenslider is a Gutenberg Block, which is synonymous with "content". Generally speaking, I wouldn't endorse using a block component for specific content purposes in a hybrid sort of manner which this would be. The focal point of Gutenberg editor is to keep the content in one spot, and theme/Wordpress as the shell.
That said, in this particular case where the entirety of the Home Page is outside the "content", we could then use the content section of the Home Page to house the Gutenslider. It works just fine, but the caveat is that whoever is editing the Home page cannot use any other blocks or content in that area. We'd also need to add a toggle to dictate which we are using, Content+Gutenslider or Custom Slider (what you have already).

Hello Ryan,
Appreciate the email and information. I will have to defer to Mary on this. One of the things Fr. B asked in the past is if we could control our sliders on the homepage. Veronica had mentioned this was doable with the Gutenberg slider pro which is why we got it, but it’s like you said, not ideal. So we’ll need to discuss and get back to you.
Also, were you able to take a look at the buttons block? When viewed on a smaller laptop the text on the button wraps to the next line.
Much appreciated.

Hello Ryan,
I just tried the Gutenberg slider pro on our capital campaign page. When viewed on a mobile device, it get's cut off.
Here is the link to the page. https://setonlakeridge.org/capital-campaign-2021/

Violet,
This one was a little tricky because I didn't find any great documentation on how this works. I was able to figure it out by troubleshooting what was there and determined that the slider was switching to fixed height at table/mobile sizes. Once I established it was the slider itself doing it, I located where those settings are defined in the block.
Basically, you can control the height style for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile sizes. There are tiny tab icons for these sizes respectively. Previously, desktop was set to Adaptive, while, tablet and mobile were set to fixed. When the height is fixed, width is variable, and images are set to "cover", the result will be the image filling the space and cutting off as you observed.
I've set tablet and mobile to be adaptive height, and now the slider maintains image aspect ratio to fit and no longer cut off portions of the slides.
Here's what those settings look like in the block editor:

Hello Ryan,
I hope all is well with you. With our new Gutenberg editor, do we have the ability to create an FAQ page like the pic below? If not, what do we need to create such a block on a page?

Gutenberg does not come standard with an Accordion block. An accordion block is the label we like to use for these types of functionality that allow content to expand/collapse as shown in your example.
The most simple route to adding an Accordion type block to your toolset would be to install additional block styles via plugin. A couple of examples include Stackable and Gutentor. This would afford you not only Accordion blocks but others as well.
I should point out that we are not experts with third-party blocks like this. We would be happy to install something like this for you but we would not be providing full training on all the ins and outs of using these blocks. These are free plugins, so there would be no charge.

Good Morning Ryan,
Thank you for looking into this. I looked at both stackable and Gutentor and is it possible to install them both? I’d like to try them both and see which would work best and how user friendly it would be for the staff.
If it isn’t too much trouble to install them soon, that would be great.
Thank you again and I hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday.

Violet,
I have installed both Stackable and Gutendor for you to explore. The orange icon blocks are your Gutendor blocks and the pinkish/purple blocks are from Stackable.

Good Morning Ryan,
One of our staff saw this template library box and she clicked on it. Then the below message popped up. When I went in and did the same, I clicked on maybe later. Not sure if the plugin is free or not.
However, when I went back in to click on the it again. It gave us access to a bunch of templates which is wonderful.
Can we use the template library going forward? It will be very helpful for the entire staff.
Thank you,

Regarding the Gutenslider for the Homepage, like you said, it’s not ideal; thus we would like to table this for now.
