v2.87 – “Deep dive”, “take Action” and “Campaign” block pattern layouts | Block usage report API improvement | Gravity Forms integrations disconnected on staging/dev sites

Lots of IA & NAV and Gravity Forms improvements! Three new block pattern layouts (full-pages composed by P4 blocks and patterns), API improvement to the block usage report and the disconnection of forms to 3rd party integrations.

Features  🔧

• PLANET-6738 – Create the Deep Dive Topic block pattern layout
  • The Deep-dive topic is a curated page that shows the whole picture about a deep-dive topic. It combines information (problem, solution, statistics, etc) with actions, news, publications, etc. Check all the block patterns layouts

• PLANET-6528 – Create the Campaign block pattern layout
  • The Campaign page pattern accompanies facts and figures on a campaign we are working on with opportunities to take action. Check all the block patterns layouts

• PLANET-6525 – Create the Take Action block pattern layout
  • The “Take action” will replace the current “Act” page, to provide an entry point for everyday actions. Check all the block patterns layouts

• PLANET-6868 – Improve block reports API responsiveness
  • The new Blocks report (Dashboard > Blocks > Report), providing information on styles and Patterns usage, no longer causes timeouts

• PLANET-6861 – Add add helper text on Form Type field
  • a “Please select a form type below so you can track and analyze each form type separately.” helper now appears when hovering over the “?” on the Form Type field. See “Build a Form in Gravity Forms” for more!

• PLANET-6666 – Ensure GravityForms scripts/styles are loaded only when a form in on page
  • GravityForms styles and scripts are now only loaded when there actually is a Form in the page or post!

• PLANET-6854 – Disconnect Gravity Forms from external integrations on staging/dev sites
  • As PLANET-6841 excluded GF forms from the prod > dev/stage sync script, the team had to explore alternative solutions to avoid data integrity risks when connecting them to staging / dev sites.

• PLANET-6895 – Use Opengraph title for title tag
  • Where Opengraph title has been set, we use that to override the meta title tag (same for description). We now do the same for the actual title tag, allowing editors to have a more SEO-friendly title for search bots.

• PLANET-6876 – Header block pattern: allow 2 more lines of description text
  • The description text of the page header block pattern now allows at least 8 lines of text
