PublishPress Blocks 3.7.6: Post Notes Screen Options and Wider Tabs
PublishPress Blocks 3.7.6 is a maintenance release with some useful quality of life improvements. The headline change is a new native Screen Options panel for the Post Notes admin page, plus better Tab block editing, improved accessibility, and fixes for several block editor issues.
Table of Contents
Feature highlights
- Post Notes Screen Options: You can now control how many notes appear per page and choose which columns are visible on the Post Notes admin screen.
- Tabs alignment support: Tabs now support wide and full width alignment, giving you more layout flexibility in the block editor.
- Clearer legacy block organization: Image, Video, Image Slider, and Table of Contents blocks are now grouped under “Legacy” status in block settings.
Accessibility improvements
This release includes several accessibility refinements across both admin screens and public facing blocks.
- Admin filters: Search and filter controls now include better labels for screen reader users.
- Keyboard controls: Admin switches, block style actions, and related controls are now easier to operate with a keyboard.
- Public forms: Contact Form, Newsletter, and Search Bar fields now have improved accessible names while preserving existing placeholders and behavior.
- Recent Posts placeholder: The placeholder image now includes alt text.
Other improvements and fixes
- Accordion validation: The Accordion block no longer triggers an “unexpected or invalid content” error for users without the unfiltered_html capability.
- Tab editing: Tab Item blocks can now be selected more reliably by clicking their headers in the editor.
- Active tab colors: Background and text colors for active tabs now display correctly in the editor.
- Recent Posts stability: A PHP 8.3 fatal error in the Recent Posts block has been fixed.
- Layout detection: Empty block styles no longer interfere with layout wrapper detection.
- Dependency security: The fast-uri package was updated to include upstream security fixes.
If you use Post Notes, Tabs, Accordions, or Recent Posts, this is a worthwhile update that should make editing smoother and reduce unexpected block issues.
