WooCommerce Blocks 10.1.0 Release Notes

The latest version of WooCommerce Blocks, version 10.1.0, is now available for download on WordPress.org and GitHub.

Notable Changes

Theme-level Global styles for Cart and Checkout blocks

If you’re using a block based theme on your store that supports global styles, you can now use these to apply design changes to your Cart and Checkout.

Head over to the site editor (Appearance > Editor), use the navigation menu to navigate to the Cart or Checkout page on your store and click the page — you can then toggle open the styles sidebar:

Any changes made to the Typography and Colors sections will now be respected by the Cart and Checkout Blocks:

Other global styles, such as buttons, are also respected by the cart and checkout blocks now also, for example the checkout place order button:

We’ll be rolling out further changes like this for more control over elements in the coming releases.

Filter by Attribute product counter revamped

Long awaited improvement of the product counter in the Filter by Attribute block. Since 10.1.0 Filter by Attribute dynamically shows the product counts that are currently displayed based on the whole set of filters on a page.

You can check out the video below to see the new Filter by Attribute counters in action along with Products blocks:

You can find more technical details about this improvement in PR #8599. We’re open to your feedback – there’s an ongoing GitHub discussion where you can share your opinion or suggestions about this improvement.

New patterns

There are two new patterns available to use: Featured products 2 columns and Testimonials: 3 columns.

Featured products 2 columns pattern can be used to promote featured products. It displays 2×2 product grid using on Products block and editable description:

There’s also Testimonials: 3 columns pattern available to display testimonials from your clients.

Global Styles support for Product Stock Indicator

Products Stock Indicator received Global Styles support. Now you are able to change the following settings:

• Color: text and background,
• Typography: font size, font weight, text decoration, and more,
• Spacing: margin and padding.

Keep in mind some of these settings are available only with WooCommerce Blocks plugin enabled.

More customizations for Mini Cart

This release brings a couple of additional customizations to the Mini Cart block.

Mini Cart Title is now customizable. It’s split into two parts: Label and Items Counter both can have styles applied separately. Change the text and background color, font size, and padding to match it to your store styles:

Also, now are you able to control the width of the Mini Cart. While editing the Mini Cart template part, choose the Mini Cart Contents and change the dimensions in px. The new width will be visible in the front end. The minimum width is set to 300px and by default, it has 480px width. Also, don’t worry about the mobile, the maximum width would be the viewport width (Mini Cart won’t get wider than the device screen).

This feature is available only with the WooCommerce Blocks plugin enabled.
