@ross @briancoords TIL, thanks! 👍 Meanwhile I‘ve been struggling to remember the tag name (dev-notes+6-5) because searching for it on make.wordpress.org was always somewhat cumbersome / hidden. I think during the end of a release cycle it should be prominent on the website - but that link is of great help!

@outofcontrol Oh yeah, I’ve built enough event post types in WP and had to deal with future/scheduled posts 😅🙈 I finally got a snippet that works, but I agree it‘s cumbersome. But I still think, using post_date is the best way to handle event dates (instead of a meta field). It just makes so much more sense.

I've put it in a gist here: https://gist.github.com/gaambo/d4723975b7de3d282c5da76c3b8521d2

I use this mostly in custom themes, so often I build queries via get_posts inside custom blocks. But I also used it on normal post type archives.
I just copy/pasted/merged it from a few projects, so don't know if the code runs as-is - but you get the gist 😅

I've just published a blog post about how to add the preview and a blueprint to your plugin, my experience in adding and testing it and some tips.

I think WordPress Playground is a really great tool! 👍

@davidbisset Do you mean if you can install a plugin from somewhere else - not just the plugin repo? Yes, many of the steps referencing files accept different types of file references - example .org thems/plugins, zips, files from the virtual file system etc
see here: https://wordpress.github.io/wordpress-playground/api/client/#FileReference

Interesting thought - yeah, I guess someone could 😅 I know that if you don't include the installPlugin step for the plugin the preview is for, it will add it automatically. But that doesn't prevent you from installing other plugins and going to a completely different landingPage inside the instance.
Guess that's something that must be checked by the plugins team (as if they didn't have enough to do 😅).

Then those devs would have to supply the pro version of the plugin at a public URL, so the blueprint can download it and also probably somehow disable licensing checks (although for the preview its a fixed domain). So yeah, I guess it's possible - and probably someone's going to do it. 🤷‍♀️
