I’ve long followed the founder of ScreenshotOne, and I really like his service. I’ve been meaning to create some type of ScreenshotOne block, but it made better sense just to include it in this one. As a result, you can now take website screenshots right from the block editor.
ScreenshotOne Demo
This is a really cool addition. Once you’ve taken the screenshot, you can crop the photo and edit it as usual.
Here is a list of bug fixes and additions that are part of 1.2.0 and the releases leading up to it.
🆕 What’s New in 1.2.0
🖼️ Lightbox support for custom links
If your custom link ends in .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp, .gif, or .avif, you can open the item in a lightbox. This is really cool if you’re setting up a cover image and want to link to a .gif in a lightbox.
🛠️ Debug Mode for Global Styles
Turn on Debug Mode to make the hidden Global Styles post type visible in the admin for inspection and troubleshooting.
🐛 Bug Fixes in 1.2.0
Fixed an issue where Global Styles could save incorrect block info, which could cause fatal errors.
I resolved a bug where the featured image link setting wasn’t saved properly.
You can now convert the Photo Block back to a regular image block.
📋 GenerateBlocks 2.0 Support (1.1.5)
Photo Block now works smoothly inside GenerateBlock 2.0’s query loops.
Next Steps
I’m slowly building a list of things I’d like to add to Photo Block, such as a better cropping experience and better-animated gif settings. As always, feedback and feature requests are appreciated.
