Photography Core vs Bootstrap Blocks

Photographers simply want to have a nice portfolio with WordPress, with a beautiful theme, possibly linked to Lightroom, without spending too much time on the technical details. This is why Photography Core was made. It is possible to switch between any theme using the Photography Core and everything will still work, automatically. No need to work on the new theme every time. Everything in this plugin is light, efficient, but try to cover every part required by most photography websites. There aren’t many downloads or reviews because this plugin is actually part of the architecture of themes, so it’s probably not a plugin you would like just to download by itself. But you could, and develop your own theme on it.

Bootstrap Gutenberg Blocks for WordPress. This plugin adds Bootstrap components and layout options as Gutenberg blocks. Features Supports Bootstrap v5 and v4 Support for CSS grid (experimental) Fully customizable with filters Configuration via option page or programmatically with constants Block templates can be overwritten in your theme The full documentation of this plugin can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/tschortsch/bootstrap-blocks-wordpress-plugin#readme Available Blocks Container Options: Fluid: If enabled the container will use the full available width, spanning the entire width of the viewport. Fluid Breakpoint: Used to enable responsive containers. This feature only works with Bootstrap v4.4+. The container will use 100% of the width until the specified breakpoint is reached, after which the defined max-widths will apply for each of the higher breakpoints. Margin After: Define a margin which should be added after the container. Row Options: Template: Choose from a predefined template for the inner column blocks. No Gutters: Disable gutters between columns. Alignment: Horizontal alignment of inner column blocks. Vertical Alignment: Vertical alignment of inner column blocks. Editor stack columns: Displays stacked columns in the editor to enhance readability of block content. Horizontal Gutters: Size of horizontal gutters. Vertical Gutters: Size of vertical gutters. CSS Grid Gutters: Size of gutters when CSS grid is used. Column Options: Sizes for all breakpoints (xxl, xl, lg, md, sm, xs): How much space the column should use for the given breakpoint. Equal width for all breakpoints (xxl, xl, lg, md, sm, xs): If enabled column will spread width evenly with other columns. Background Color: Set background color to column. Content vertical alignment: Align content vertically in column. This option is only needed if a background color is set. Otherwise use the Alignment option of the outer row block. Padding: Define padding inside the column. Button Options: Style: Choose the styling of the button. Open in new tab: Choose if link should be opened in a new tab. Rel: Set rel attribute of the link. Alignment: Horizontal alignment of the button. Supported Bootstrap versions This plugin supports Bootstrap v4 and v5. The version can be selected in the plugin settings (Settings > Bootstrap Blocks) or by defining the WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION constant in the wp-config.php file: Bootstrap 4: define( 'WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION', '4' ); Bootstrap 5 (default): define( 'WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION', '5' ); Possible values right now are '4' or '5'. By default Bootstrap version 5 is selected. CSS Grid The CSS grid (supported with Bootstrap >= 5.1.0) can be enabled in the plugin settings (Settings > Bootstrap Blocks) or by defining the WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_ENABLE_CSS_GRID constant in the wp-config.php file: eg. define( 'WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_ENABLE_CSS_GRID', true ); When the CSS grid is enabled the row and the column blocks will use custom templates for the rendering process: Row: row-css.grid.php Column: column-css-grid.php The support is still experimental since it’s also marked as experimental in the Bootstarp library. Please read the official Bootstrap documentation to get more information on how to use it. Bootstrap library Please be aware that this plugin does not include the Bootstrap library in your website. You need to do this by yourself. We decided not to include the library so that you can modify Bootstrap to your own needs before loading it. You’ll find an example how to include it in your theme’s functions.php in the documentation. Templates All blocks are implemented as dynamic blocks. This makes it possible to overwrite the template of a block in your theme. To overwrite a block template create a folder called wp-bootstrap-blocks/ in your theme directory. You can copy the original template from wp-bootstrap-blocks/src/templates/ .php as a starting point and adjust it to your needs.
