Twenty Nineteen: Revise Latest Posts block styles to support post content options.

[kjellr]

The Latest Posts block in Gutenberg has recently been updated to include the option of showing post content in addition to post titles and dates:

​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/14627

Because Twenty Nineteen's stylesheet is written to target all text inside the li items in this block, the post content is not formatted properly:

The attached patch cleans up those styles, and also adjusts the text style for the post date, so that it matches one of the theme's standard font sizes:

The patch includes both front end and editor styles, and shouldn't negatively effect any other blocks that share some of these styles (the Archives and Categories blocks).

Update: I've added a fresh version of the patch to be compatible with the changes in the following two Gutenberg updates:

​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/15758
​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/15760

Maybe I am missing something, but it appears that there aren't any front-end styles in your patch. I see the RTL styles, but none for LTR. Patch works great for the back-end though.

Oh, very weird! Thanks for catching that. I've added a recompiled patch that includes the changes to style.css: 47340.1.diff​.

No problem @kjellr, I tried testing your latest patch and it wouldn't apply. The file paths were missing from the diff, so I refreshed it. Uploading soon.

Refreshed patch

😄Thank you! Must've forgot to cd back out of the Twenty Nineteen directory after re-compiling.

Reopening this so it can be back-ported to the 5.2 branch, also needs testing to validate if this ticket is good to land in 5.2.3.
