Now that would be cool, right?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another cool and rather weird thing Mullenweg mentioned are Piplets.

You\u2019ll register a collection with wp_register_icon_collection(), add 13 food icons via wp_register_icon(), and see why he prefers a string-backed PHP enum over arrays for naming them. He also lists what 7.1 still strips: only svg, path, and polygon elements survive, and stroke attributes are removed, so stick with fill-based icons for now.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Justin Tadlock\u2019s walkthrough is more than you need right now, <strong>Ryan Welcher<\/strong> covers the same API in five minutes in his video on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hx8-nHQeoLc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>custom icons in WordPress 7.1<\/strong><\/a>. He registers a collection and a single icon in PHP, loads a folder of SVGs from disk the way core does, and renders one in a template with wp_get_icon(). The gotchas matter most: the sanitizer strips <code>fill=\"currentColor\"<\/code>, and a function_exists() check keeps 7.0 sites from fatal-erroring.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-newsletterglue-showhide ng-block\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The block editor\u2019s single biggest frustration is finally addressed, <strong>Jackson<\/strong> argues in his tour of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x_2MC0i3FMA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the new features in WordPress 7.1<\/a>, <\/strong>and he means responsive block styles.
