Best practices for CPT without using an editor [closed]

I have used the custom block option quite extensively. I enable the editor for the custom post type, but use a custom template with template_lock set to true: ‘template’ => array( array(‘pb/custom-block-name’), ), ‘template_lock’ => true Then I use the allowed_block_types_all filter to only allow that custom block for the post type: function pb_allowed_block_types($allowed_block_types, $block_editor_context) … Read more

Using applyFormat (from @wordpress/rich-text) to make persistent changes to Gutenberg’s rich text value

I finally figured it out. Just posting it here if anyone needs to do this as the Gutenberg documentation lacks code examples. With reference to the below code, blockIndex is the block you are dealing with; and startIndex and endIndex are ranges to annotate in context of the block: // Get latest modified content of … Read more

How do I access post meta data when publishing a new post in Gutenberg?

The solution is to use a different hook which fires after post meta data has been saved by Gutenberg to the WP API. After reading this related discussion on Github and inspecting this code by n7studios, I discovered that rest_after_insert_post is a hook to use.

Gutenberg translation is not working

I’ve spent all day debugging this issue, and by looking at the code I can guess we shared the same problems: assuming $script_handle is CUSTOM-block-ref-holder, the PHP file is almost correct. wp_set_script_translations needs the full path to work. In your case, although you probably need to adjust for your path, it should be something like … Read more

Is there a hook or filter yet for Gutenberg Block Editor to not auto-add Noreferrer to links with a target?

Just for others that see this post, as I am sure you are already aware, the noreferrer is added as a security fix for IE and Edge browsers and a few others, that do not support the rel=”noopener” security fix for links that are opened in a new tab. To remove the noreferrer, it is … Read more

Reset data when the field is cleared

That’s not how that component works. onRemove is called when the link is unlinked, via a button that only appears when certain conditions are met: { onRemove && value && ! isEditingLink && ! isCreatingPage && ( <Button className=”block-editor-link-control__unlink” isDestructive variant=”link” onClick={ onRemove } > { __( ‘Unlink’ ) } </Button> ) } https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/6eac4a26f143c7378c3b39b5a83271538f36dfa9/packages/block-editor/src/components/link-control/index.js#L270 When … Read more

What’s the Right Way to get and save remote data for a Gutenberg block?

creating elements/innerblocks via rangecontrol

The code from core/columns and core/column blocks are a good example of how to achieve this behaviour. Basically we register 2 block types: Carousel and Slide. Slide block type does not appear in the inserter. Carousel block type is the root block which appears in the inserter. Instead of keeping the count of slides in … Read more

create blocks programmtically on theme activation

You can’t use block templates this way. They are used only by Gutenberg on client side (JavaScript) when new post content is created. In your case you are creating page on server side (PHP). However you can create pages with initial block structure. Create new page manually and save it without adding any content (there … Read more
