Tips
- Aside blocks are meant to be used with a very small amount of copy. (~100 characters or fewer)
- Asides should be used sparingly in a single article.
- Use 3 asides max in one article.
- Photos/icons should be square. This component will crop images to a square or circle, depending on which layout is selected.
- If using more than one aside, they should be separated by at least one paragraph.
Avoid this:
Please note that in the ACF field under Type, you will see statistic : Image - Icon, as it use to read statistic : Image - Statistic. I'm unable to change the first statistic as it will remove all the fields in the block in the editor. Also, In the SCSS file, Image - Icon field will be called callout-statistic.
