[Support request] Where are all my reusable blocks?

[Martin]

Hi
I created a couple of reusable blocks (I have GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks (both premium).
The only way I know of to access a reusable block is to go into a page that has that block, go to the page structure, locate that block / container and then find ‘Manage Reusable Blocks’.

Where can I just go to all Reusable Blocks without having to go to a page that contains one?

Thanks

Martin

Hi Martin,

Reusable Blocks aren’t part of GeneratePress or GenerateBlocks. It’s a WordPress functionality.

One way to add a link to it is through a PHP snippet:

function add_my_reusable() {
    global $submenu;
    $permalink = admin_url( 'edit.php' ).'?post_type=wp_block';
    $submenu['edit.php'][] = array( __('Reusable Blocks'), 'edit_posts', $permalink );
    $submenu['edit.php?post_type=page'][] = array( __('Reusable Blocks'), 'edit_posts', $permalink );
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'add_my_reusable' );

OMG! All this time I thought it was part of GP & GB.
Thanks for the info Fernando.

You’re welcome Martin! The one part of GB is the Pattern Library and Local Patterns which has a similar functionality: https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/pattern-library-overview/#local-patterns
