Since Gutenberg is currently in development mode, Things will break and there won’t be standard set of rules and guidelines NOT until it merges into Core. I have faced the same problem, Changing a thing here and there breaks the current block and it’s frustrating as hell. Until then devs like us have to put … Read more
There does seem to be a filter to modify the default: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/lib/client-assets.php#L1574 ‘bodyPlaceholder’ => apply_filters( ‘write_your_story’, __( ‘Write your story’, ‘gutenberg’ ), $post ), So you should be able to use the WordPress add_filter() function.
Have you tried using parse_blocks() (pass in get_the_content())? That returns an array of all the blocks in your content. From there you can pull out block names and id attributes using an array map or foreach. Assuming you only want to pull anchor tags from the headings, you could do something like: $blocks = parse_blocks( … Read more
Here’s a solution I’ve come up with, that works with WordPress 5.4 and ACF Pro 5.8.9. First you need this function somewhere in functions.php: /** * Get ID of the first ACF block on the page */ function sg_get_first_block_id() { $post = get_post(); if(has_blocks($post->post_content)) { $blocks = parse_blocks($post->post_content); $first_block_attrs = $blocks[0][‘attrs’]; if(array_key_exists(‘id’, $first_block_attrs)) { return … Read more
The js-file is not executed on time By the time the DOM load event is executed the block editor has already parsed the post content and at that time the block wasn’t yet registered so it tells you that it doesn’t exist. Instead of: window.addEventListener( ‘load’, () => { mcm_register_menu_card_section_block(); }); try: wp.domReady(mcm_register_menu_card_section_block); and in … Read more
When using the Gutenberg Block editor you need to use different hooks to get the expected behavior. rest_insert_{$this->post_type} The pre-update hook. rest_after_insert_{$this->post_type} The post-update hook. credits: @SallyCJ
Use ‘Groups’: If you do not see the ‘Group’ option, like me, you’ll have to update WP. After that, simply create a group, then add new blocks or drag existing blocks into it. Select the group and add HTML Anchors and classes via the ‘Advanced’ tab of the block’s menu.
As the blocks more more and more to front-end rendering… there’s only one filter that I’ve been able to find for modifying the output of the blocks via PHP. woocommerce_blocks_product_grid_item_html and I’m not even sure if that will work on the All Products block which may/may not use the same code as the other products … Read more
Instead of using raw DOM nodes, use the WP Element wrapper components and build it with wp scripts For example here is an ESNext block using modern JS: edit() { return ( <div style={ blockStyle }> Hello World, step 1 (from the editor). </div> ); }, And again using raw JS without the build step: … Read more
But how does the actual HTML get on the page? How does that SQL data translate into a page full of blocks? Normally the HTML for a block is inside the HTML comments. However, much like shortcodes, ACF blocks are rendered in PHP, so when the post is processed during the_content filter, that block is … Read more
