One of the reasons I want to see such a block in core WordPress is because it would be handy for various patterns.

The concept may be too niche to ever land in WordPress, despite my desire for it. Since then, only a few people have commented. Ella van Durpe followed up with a pull request in October. Matias Ventura shared a concept via video in April of that year. However, there has been no indication of work on it since 2019. There is also a checklist block feature request in the Gutenberg repository. He built the block as a tool for his publishing flow. The primary difference between them is that Tabor’s is an editor-only plugin. In July 2021, Rich Tabor released the Todo List Block plugin. If it seems like I was touting a similar plugin not that long ago, it is because I was. Site visitors cannot check a read-only field, but they can focus on them via mouse or keyboard. More often than not, users might want to customize everything at once.Įach item can also be set to “Read Only” or “Disabled.” Since this plugin does not send data through a form on the front end, the differences between the two are subtle. However, there are no such options on the outer Todo List block. The latter is a welcome option for people who categorize items or tasks by color. Users can customize the typography and colors for individual Todo Item blocks. Hitting the Enter key creates a new item. Once users insert the Todo block into the post, they can add tasks. It works similarly to the standard List block.

One exists for the outer list container and the other for the inner list items. I have been testing it since its update a few days ago and like where it is headed. This was likely some mistake with porting the plugin over from its development repository. It did not seem to add any blocks at all. I first downloaded and installed the plugin two weeks ago, but it had a problem.
