    I’m able to save block as a reusable block. I have 5 saved. If I try to insert / add a new block though the section “ reusable blocks” isn’t listed nor are any of my saved named reusable blocks.

    Hi there,

    Reusable block is a WordPress core feature beyond the theme’s control. There are known bugs related to it but we can’t quite fix it up if the issue with with actual WordPress core itself.

    One example of a known bug is if the page you’ve created the reusable block on is deleted.

    If the page you’ve created the reusable block on is deleted, the saved reusable block won’t show up on the list of reusable blocks on the Reusable blocks tab even if you find it on the Manage reusable blocks page. /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wp_block

    In this case you’ll have restore the deleted page orr to re-do the block and make sure the page where you’ve created it isn’t deleted so you can keep using the reusable block.

    Huh. No it hasn’t been deleted or anything. It must just be a bug in core. If you’d like I have a staging site you’re welcome to test it out on tomorrow. On mobile now though.

    It must just be a bug in core.

    It likely is. Reusable block is clunky. There are other reasons why it won’t show up. I’ve just given the most reason. Removed or conflicted plugins may cause this as well.

    You can browser through our forums and you’ll see this come up. Same w/ WP.org forums and other WP related forums.

    I’d consider waiting for WP 5.9 if they have a fix for this.
