HTML Block Saving Issues (FSE)

    There seems to be an issue in saving HTML blocks with specific Google Adsense code in it.

    Every time I add the Adsense code into the block and hit the save button an error message shows up saying Failed to Save. Clicking preview on the HTML block the ad displays correctly.

    Adding plain text into the HTML block works fine and doesn’t result in any error messages. There has also been an instance where I was able to save the HTML ad code correctly but editing it and saving it once again the error message displays again.

    Running:
    Version: WordPress 5.9
    Theme: Twenty Twenty Two
    Plugins: Yoast SEO, Yoast SEO Premium, Yoast SEO News, AMP, Gutenberg, Social Sharing Block, Web Stories

    This isn’t new to FSE, you essentially cannot safely add any sort of JavaScript code via the editor. You can sometimes get lucky and get away with it, but it’s still the wrong approach. There are plugins that will properly insert AdSense and other JavaScript code for you. For a DYI approach, create a custom shortcode that inserts the desired script via the shortcode block.

    Interesting, thanks! Will look into the shortcode route as I recently moved away from using ad inserting plugins and am trying to reduce the number of plugins.
