What?

Resolves: #52114

This PR:

  • links the posts page to the homepage template when a post page is set
  • abstracts logic to get page item props

How?

Checking if posts_page (from site settings) matches the current page id.

Testing Instructions

Start off with a theme that has a home template, e.g., 2023

Set a posts/home page in the settings:
Screenshot 2023-07-04 at 1 42 29 pm

Head to the site editor, and navigate to the Pages pane in the sidebar.

Check that the posts page is in the list with the correct icon (verse) and that clicking it loads the current home template.

2023-07-04 13 42 07

Create a front-page template and verify that the post page links to the front page template.

Switch to a theme that has an index template only, e.g., empty theme.

Verify that the post page links to the index template.

This is working well except for this part:

Create a front-page template and verify that the post page links to the front page template.

The Posts Page can only resolve to display the Home or Index template. So we can remove the Front Page affordance.

Side note: This change will emphasise #51421 a little more. It would be really nice to address that one.

Side note 2: The one thing we miss with this change is a url to view the 'page' in the details panel. I'll see if I can add that back in a follow-up.

Ah, no worries. Thanks. I'll update.

True, I noticed that. I would even say that #51421 should take priority over this one and others as I think we could make a stronger argument that it's a bug and therefore grease its path into 6.3.

I agree #51421 should be prioritised, but I don't think it's a blocker since the issue exists elsewhere.

Thanks for the updates to this PR, the Posts Page no longer redirects to the Front Page template when it is present ✅

However, it's also not redirecting to the Home or Index template, but to the page details:

blog.mp4

By the way, we should also ensure that a static homepage redirects to the Front Page template, when it exists. If you'd like to handle that separately let me know and I'll open an issue.

if I create a front page template, selecting the posts page shows the correct preview using the home template, but in the sidebar it shows the page name. Not Blog Home with the extra settings.
Should the blog settings be available even if the blog posts are on a separate page, not the front?

@carolinan Whichever page is set to display latest posts in reading settings (IE the 'homepage' or the 'Posts page'), should reveal the Home / Index template when accessed via the Pages panel.

Edit: I suppose if the reading settings specify that the 'homepage' displays 'latest posts', and the Front Page template exists, then yes it would probably be good to include some of the blog settings there.

I am not sure I understand, I meant when:

  1. A front page template exists.
  2. A home template exists.
  3. Your homepage displays: a static page.
  4. Posts page is set in the reading setting.
  5. The posts page is selected under Appearance > Editor > Pages.

Shouldn't that page sidebar still have the options for the number of posts to show, etc? That is still the page and template that are showing the posts. Just not as the first page of the site.

The scenario you describe is the same as the one in the original issue: #52114

Displaying the page details isn't particularly useful because of its unique behavior. It's also strange when you engage edit mode because there is nothing in the page you can edit with blocks. So you have to swap to template editing manually which is unnecessarily convoluted.

The conclusion was that in this scenario is makes most sense to just go directly to the appropriate template when the Posts page is selected in the Pages panel.

I think we are talking about the same thing, that the PR is not ready yet because there is a scenario where it does not go to the template...

Here are the scenarios as far as I can tell. I'm just jotting this down for my benefit :)

  1. A home and posts page have been set in the Reading settings.
    a) An index template exists only:
    - the posts page will use the index template (the posts page itself is completely ignored)
    - the home page uses the static page
    b) A blog home template is added:
    - the posts page will now use the blog home template (the posts page itself is completely ignored)
    - the home page uses the static page
    c) A front page template is added:
    - the posts page will use the home or index template
    - the home page will use the front page template

  2. Home page is set to "latest posts"
    a) An index template exists only:
    - the home page uses the index template
    b) A blog home template is added:
    - the home page now uses the blog home template
    c) A front page template is added:
    - the home page will use the front page template

Hopefully the latest updates to the PR gets us closer 🤞🏻

There is one more scenario:

  • Your homepage displays: A static page, but no page is selected in the drop-down.
  • Posts page is selected in the drop-down

I have confirmed that when the posts page is selected under Appearance > Editor > Pages, the home template is shown.

Windows 10, Chrome, WP 6.3 beta.
1 a - works
1 b - works
1 c -works

2 a -works
2 b -works
2 c -works

1c isn't quite working right. When I click the Posts page in the Pages list, I see a hybrid panel which includes the page details and blog settings. It should just redirect to the Blog Home template as it does in 1b.

The rest are working as expected.

For 2c it would be really great to include the blog settings (posts per page & discussion) in the Front Page template. But if you want to handle that separately it's probably fine.

Your homepage displays: A static page, but no page is selected in the drop-down.
Posts page is selected in the drop-down

In my testing this is effectively the same as scenario 1, so as noted above doesn't work correctly when the Front Page template exists.

Thank you all for your perseverance on this one.

Oh, got it. Thanks for the clarification.

It should be easy to just flip the switch on this, but with the following caveat: the front page template could contain anything and won't necessarily have any query loops. And, if it does, they might be buried in which case we'd have to flatten the block tree to find them which could get expensive.

That's a fair point. Perhaps we tackle this separately, as a part of #52335.
