Best way to manage sections?

Hi there,

Not currently unfortunately.

Sections won't be getting any improvements with the emergence of Gutenberg editor.

We are actively working on a section-like block editor and will definitely consider adding duplicate option.

Let me know if this helps :)

Thanks, Leo. Does it mean that soon GP will remove sections tool in one of new updates?

P.S. Me and plenty of users don't like G-berg ... and always disable it.

No we won't be removing sections - it just won't get any new features.

I'll admit that Gutenberg takes a bit to get used to but Tom, David and myself all like it (especially with the new sections-like plugin).

Ok) Just think about 2 features for sections:

1. Field "Preferences Id" - just to input already existing section preferences
2. Field "Content Id" - just to use already existing section content

Hi there,

my personal method when using Sections is to create a draft page, design out all of the Sections i would need for my pages, create multiple versions of a section if i need to use it more than once on a page.
Then use the Duplicate Post plugin to create a new Draft each time i want to create a page with Sections. Edit/delete on the new page as necessary.

For global content that may get updated regularly i would use hooks or widgets for this.

This is one are where Gutenberg has got it right with Re-usable blocks so common incontent elements can be updated from one place.

Thanks, David! Nice idea!

What hooks/widgets do you use to insert global content into sections?

Can't do it in Sections - i mean within the theme templates. If you want to do it on Sections then you would need to use Shortcodes.
Widget Shortcodes is a good plugin to make that easier.

Thanks a lot!

You're welcome
