Changelog

All notable changes to Loop Builder are documented here. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

  • Template building for block (FSE) themes — registering single / archive / category / search templates that use Loop Builder. (On classic themes, the inherit-query mode added in 0.4.0 already powers archive / search displays.)

[0.7.0]

Added

  • Custom Field text alignment — the field block now exposes a left / center / right alignment control (via typography.textAlign). A small stylesheet promotes the field to a block box when aligned so the choice still applies for inline tags (span / strong / em).
  • Max items (total) on the loop — caps the number of items shown across all pages. The final page shrinks to respect the cap, and numbered / load-more pagination stop at the resulting page count.
  • Link entire item to post — an option that makes the whole loop item clickable via a stretched-link overlay, keeping genuine links and buttons inside the item independently clickable.

Developer

  • PHPUnit unit tests for the query-arg and pagination-cap logic (composer test).
  • wp-env + Playwright end-to-end tests (npm run test:e2e).

[0.6.0]

Added

  • Custom Field block image and link display modes; an Event Date block for The Events Calendar.
  • Save a configured loop as a reusable pattern; per-loop typography defaults.

Changed

  • Query-building and editor refinements.

[0.5.0]

Added

  • Custom Field block (loop-builder/field) — output a post meta or ACF field value for the current loop item, with an optional prefix/suffix, a choice of HTML tag, and full color/typography/spacing supports. Uses ACF's get_field() for formatted values when available, falling back to raw post meta; empty values render nothing. When ACF is active, its field names are suggested in the editor.

Changed

  • Pagination gained a Style panel (alignment — now centered by default — plus a plain/boxed link treatment and accent color).
  • Grid, flex, and slider items are equal-height by default; list items are full-width.

[0.4.0] - Phase 4

Added

  • Conditional display ("Visibility") on every block — show/hide by login status, user role (has one of / none of), and a date window. Authored in the editor; enforced server-side via a render_block gate.
  • Inherit query mode — a Loop Builder block can drive itself from the page's main query (category / tag / author / search / home), so its layout and styling power archive and search results. Pagination falls back to standard WordPress page links in this mode.
  • Multi-post-type querying — target several post types in one loop.

[0.3.0] - Phase 3

Added

  • Slider layout — a dependency-free, scroll-snap carousel with previous/next controls (progressive enhancement via the template's view script).
  • Responsive columns — independent desktop / tablet / mobile column counts for grid, flex, and slider layouts (driven by CSS custom properties).
  • Card style panel — per-item background, padding, corner radius, border, and a hover-lift effect (cardStyle attribute, applied via custom properties).
  • Bundled patterns under a "Loop Builder" category: Blog grid, News list, and Card slider.
  • Query block variations for quick-start List and Slider layouts.

[0.2.0] - Phase 2

Added

  • Multi-clause taxonomy filters with AND / OR relation.
  • Custom field (meta) query builder: key + comparison + value + type, multiple clauses with AND / OR relation.
  • Date filter: rolling "last N days" window or an explicit after / before range.
  • loop-builder/pagination block with three types (inserter variations): numbered links, previous / next, and load more.
  • REST endpoint GET /loop-builder/v1/more powering load-more: it re-discovers the query block inside the post by queryId and renders the next page of items.
  • Pagination is added to the query block's default template.

Fixed

  • Avoided a strtoupper(null) deprecation when meta/taxonomy clauses omitted optional type / field / operator keys.

Changed

  • taxQuery / metaQuery attributes now use a { relation, clauses[] } shape (the server still accepts the legacy array form).

[0.1.0] - Phase 1

Added

  • loop-builder/query parent block with query and layout settings.
  • loop-builder/template block: live editor preview loop + server-side render that reuses core field blocks via injected postId/postType context.
  • loop-builder/no-results fallback block.
  • Query controls: post type, items-to-show, offset, order/orderby, author, keyword, sticky handling, and a single taxonomy filter.
  • Grid / list / flex layouts with configurable columns and gap.
