After discovering the exact problem in this case, the request headers being too large because ServerSideRender sending too many attributes in a GET request, I opened a ticket on the Gutenberg development repository proposing a few possible solutions for this issue. And the issue had actually already been addressed because I wasn’t the first one … Read more
There is a REST API endpoint for settings that can be found at /wp/v2/settings
ServerSideRender uses the Block Renderer API endpoint (/wp/v2/block-renderer/<name>) which does not parse inner blocks, hence the $content in your block render callback would naturally be empty. However, retrieving the inner blocks is pretty easy and as you’ve thought, you can set the blocks (or their content) as an attribute that you would pass to ServerSideRender. … Read more
As far as I can see, the function redirect_post, where the redirect_post_location filter resides, is not automatically called anywhere, so that filter won’t be triggered. The save_post hook (or preferably save_post_post_type) still works, but not with metaboxes, as Gutenberg saves these separately using ajax calls. Ajax calls run in the background and do not affect … Read more
There is an experimental Innerblocks feature (__experimentalTemplateOptions) that Im not sure if also affects the post template. In any case I think this won’t solve your issue which is that you want the layout to change even after an initial selection of template. What happens in this scenario is that the editor might have the … Read more
After hours of googling I came up with following solution. Maybe once will help to someone. 1) query post where is used gutenberg youtube block: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘s’ => ‘core-embed/youtube’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1 ); $query = new WP_Query($args); 2) extract the URL from youtube block of the post … Read more
So, I was researching this topic a bit deeper. All answers found on this SE suggested disabling Gutenberg with a plugin. This couldn’t be a valid “fix” in my oppinion. After researching and browsing through the git issues of WordPress/gutenberg I’ve found a pretty easy solution for this problem. The user joshuafredrickson on the git … Read more
Although a little different than I had initially anticipated, I have found/created a solution to my two problems. Conditionals I have opted to move non-required input to the sidebar, using the InspectorControls-element. Reason for this is that I realised that it would be impossible to hide a field (in the editor-part of the screen) that … Read more
So, after some more testing, I figured out why it was not saving like it should. I was including the meta during init when it was in the admin panel, but not for anywhere else. Thus when it was being saved (assuming that it was saving as not admin) the meta field was not there … Read more
I found that there is no way to change the data which is coming to editor when it is loaded. But it’s possible to replace the data after that. JS: script.js wp.domReady(function () { const newData = window.myNewBlocksData; if (newData) { wp.data.dispatch(‘core/block-editor’).resetBlocks(wp.blocks.parse(newData)); console.log(‘replaced’); } }) PHP: <?php class MyBlocksManipulation { public $prefix = ‘my’; public … Read more
