You’re not actually updating the block. You’re just updating the current state of the block component in the editor. To have an option persist you need an attribute to store whether the option is toggled, and then you need to call setAttributes() to save that attribute. This is what the editor will recognise as a … Read more
If your option is enabled in the REST API, e.g. by using register_setting() with ‘show_in_rest’ => true, you can use wp.data.select( ‘core’ ).getSite() to retrieve the value of your option, and to update the option, you can use wp.data.dispatch( ‘core’ ).saveSite(). So for example in your case: To get the option value: wp.data.select( ‘core’ ).getSite()?.autoupdate … Read more
In PHP, it’s certainly possible to check if a block type is dynamic or whether the block uses server-side rendering. For example for already registered block types, just get the block type object and call its is_dynamic method. $block_registry = WP_Block_Type_Registry::get_instance(); $block_name=”core/latest-posts”; $block_type_object = $block_registry->get_registered( $block_name ); if ( $block_type_object ) { // Note: render_callback … Read more
Answering by myself here. In all kind of current installations/themes (for ex. mine is 100% custom), it’s under aspect > pattern. This is correct answer to my question.
Yes, but you have to do it Redux- way. Subscribe to post saving action (there are separate actions for save and auto-save) and dispatch a message using dispatch function. Edit: Inside blocks, there are better hooks to use, like useSelect. But, outside the block, in general block editor environmentm you have to use subscribe. In … Read more
In gc-slider2/index.js, I removed the templateLock=”all” from the InnerBlocks, and it is now displaying the plus sign for the gc-slider-items block. <InnerBlocks template={SLIDER_TEMPLATE} allowedBlocks={ [ ] } /> Which leaves me with a different problem of two add block plus signs. See Gutenberg Innerblocks notallowedblocks on parent but allowedblock on child
So, in my case, the answer was simple, though it took a long time to find. Just in case anyone else ever has this issue, here is what solved it for me: I was calling the register_post_meta in a file that was only being included if is_admin() returns true (this is a plugin metabox conversion, … Read more
So is there some hook I can attach to, whenever my custom block is inserted / appended in the visual editor? At the time of writing, none, as far as I know. But there is a function, namely wp.data.subscribe(), which we can use to listen to (state) changes in the editor, e.g. when the post … Read more
I’d guess you may have figured this out by now. Here’s my answer anyway. You say the API returns an array whose object items have label and value properties but if I try that same request I get an array whose object items have name and id properties (as you would expect when you specify … Read more
I was bitten by this as well, and it caused me much frustration. I had exactly the same nested block duplication problem that you described above. I was able to solve this issue by specifying an apiVersion for my custom block. E.g.: registerBlockType(“custom-cafe-theme/custom-column”,{ apiVersion: 2, // or 3 title: “Custom Column”, attributes: { imgID: { … Read more
