Reusable block non editable
3 replies · Started by Florent on May 18, 2021
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. :)
