Pull request overview

This PR packages an “alpha release” update for the Newspack theme + child themes, focusing on editor iframe compatibility, configurable author avatars, and several styling adjustments (pullquotes + WooCommerce), while removing legacy Yoast-specific code.

Changes:

  • Add a shared Customizer setting for author avatar size and use it in author archive + author bio templates.
  • Update block editor integrations to better support the iframed editor (assets + body classes) and adjust subtitle DOM insertion to target the canvas document.
  • Refine styling for pullquotes and WooCommerce UI; remove Yoast customizations and a WooCommerce checkout heading.

newspack-katharine/sass/style.scss:364

  • This selector block excludes any inline styles containing border- via :not([style*="border-"]), but inside it there is still a nested &[style*="border-width"]::before rule. That nested rule can never match because border-width contains border-, so it is dead code. Either remove the nested rule or adjust the outer condition to only exclude the specific border properties you intend to treat as “custom border”.
	&:not(.is-style-solid-color):not(.has-background):not([style*="border-"]) {
		blockquote {
			padding-left: #{2 * structure.$size__spacing-unit};
		}

newspack-katharine/sass/style-editor.scss:120

  • Same issue as the front-end stylesheet: this block uses :not([style*="border-"]) but still contains a nested &[style*="border-width"]::before rule further down in the block, which can never match. Removing the unreachable nested selector or narrowing the outer :not(...) will avoid confusion and make the intent clearer.
	&:not(.is-style-solid-color):not(.has-background):not([style*="border-"]) {
		blockquote {
			padding-left: #{2 * structure.$size__spacing-unit};
		}
