Reusable block buttons issues
3 replies · Started by massimo on June 10, 2021
Hi, we use a lot reusable buttons for custom CTA and affiliate link.
When we have updated WP to 5.7 we start having issues on reusable buttons.
Main issue is when edit post with reusable button, we are unable to select the buttons nor change aspect and any other options.
But if we explode reusable block into normal block all work as expected.
Secondary issue is when insert second reusable buttons, lists of reusable blocks dissapear.(see screencast for more details).
I make i simple screencast for reproduce issues. I have setup on my local environment fresh wordpress install with generateblock and generatepress premium theme, than i have import from site library example content, create a reusable button and make some modification into page where you can see the issues.

Now we have about 40/50 with this issues and we have converted all editor to classic editor, with old tested shortcode custom buttons.
I don't think we'll be using generablock like before, it will only be used on a few small projects.
It was an enjoyable experience that made us waste a lot of time.
Best regards

Hi Max,
There is a known bug at the moment where you aren't able to add the same re-usable block to the same page more than once. This is fixed in GenerateBlocks 1.4.0.
What's strange is that the selecting issue was occurring when you add the same re-usable block multiple times on a page. I thought the first issue you showed in the video showed that this wasn't possible? Perhaps I missed something?
Can you download the 1.4.0 branch to see if the issues are resolved?: https://github.com/tomusborne/generateblocks/tree/release/1.4.0
It's a dev version, so not ready for production, but it would be good to know that these things are resolved as we move towards a public alpha (soon).
Thanks!
Hi Tom, thank you for reply,
After installing version 1,4 from repository, issue of unable selecting block buttons in page with multiple same blocks is disappear.
Preview issue when insert reusable block persist, but i notice that this issue happend only in those particupal page and not in other page, then i think it is a isolated issue that does not come from generateblock.
Thank you
Max
That's great to hear - thanks for letting me know :)
