For Professionals, By A Professional
Hello, I’m Fränk Klein, founder of WP Development Courses.
I’m a Principal Engineer at Enterprise WordPress agency Human Made. As such I have been the lead engineer on projects like the The Sun relaunch, or the redesign of TechCrunch.
As a self-taught developer, I know first hand how hard it is to stay up-to-date with WordPress. Especially for freelancers and agencies building custom sites. The introduction of the block editor and Full-Site Editing has made this even harder.
But it’s also a fantastic opportunity.
You see now is the perfect time to put yourself ahead of your competition, to accelerate your career, and grow your business.
Why am I so sure of this? Well, I have a proven track record of delivering outstanding content editing solutions for clients in a variety of industries. And the block editor is the tool that allows me to deliver these experiences.
Are you not convinced? Listen to the WP Tavern Podcast #50, in which I explain how Gutenberg and Full Site Editing are bringing new opportunities for WordPress freelancers and agencies.
The knowledge I share in my courses is the result of hundreds of hours spent building custom sites with the block editor. They are going to save you so much time, and more importantly prevent you from making the same mistakes I did.

Partially Synced Patterns in WordPress 6.5
Partially synced patterns let you change the content of individual blocks within a synced pattern. This allows some parts of the block pattern to sync while leaving others unchanged.

Changing HTML Tag Attributes with the WP HTML Tag Processor
So what problem does the WP_HTML_Tag_Processor added in WordPress 6.2 solve? Well since its inception, WordPress has used filters to do additional processing on the HTML it generates.
