Reusable block non editable

Hi,

I created a reusable block but I cannot edit it when I add it to the page.

Each time I click on it it gets unselected (see the video in private info).

Is there a solution to that?

Thank you,
Florent

Hi there,

Have you tried selecting it through the list view? https://share.getcloudapp.com/9ZuxbOBO

Note: The theme doesn't control how this works. It's a WordPress core issue (Gutenberg editor).

But to help out:

If the reusable block is made prior to WordPress 5.7 update, it is known to somewhat break.

I suggest you try to edit the block through its edit page (see reusable blocks listing on /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wp_block ) and re-save your old blocks and see if it works.

Hi Elvin,

I tried to select through the list view, same issue.

The reusable block was created after the 5.7 update.

So I created a new reusable block. Same issue happens.

This makes the whole "reusable" thing worthless.

Any other solution? I'm thinking to go back to the classic editor. Can I have a refund in that case?

Thanks for your time,
Florent

If you must issue a refund, you can send a request through our contact page. https://generatepress.com/contact/

Note: This is likely an isolated issue as the reusable block is working fine on my site/s. It's using WordPress 5.7.1. :)
