Description

Gutenberg is a great block editor but it does not come with a todo block.

You can now create to-do lists in WordPress Gutenberg editor.
Your todo checkboxes will appear both on the frontend and backend. It will even keep the current state of the checkbox when shown on the frontend.

Logged-in users can save their checkbox selections (if enabled per checklist).

You can use this block to:

  • Add tasks to your posts and pages
  • Create a checklist of items
  • Let logged-in users save their selections
  • Set goals and track progress
  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/todo-block directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  1. The ToDo block on the backend.

What is the minimum WordPress version?

6.3

Can users save their checkbox state?

Yes. Enable the “Enable Save” toggle in the Checklist block settings. Logged-in users will have their selections saved per user.

Does not work

I does not work on latest WP and PHP 8.2. Added the todo list but didn't show on the post

It works and it's crisp... but needs some extra love.

Things I Wish:

  • I could use markdown to insert a checkbox, I should be able to type [] followed by a spacebar for example to insert or maybe [ ] followed by a spacebar
  • I could double tap enter to exit the block (instead of just keep creating new checkboxes)

Things I Like:

  • Read only option
  • No lag
  • Light in plugin size

Love the simplicity
