Block editor Doesn’t appear for custom post type

    I wrote this code to disablem the block editor except on a single custom post type:

    function ppt_custom_post_type_editor( $args, $post_type ) {
        if ( $post_type === 'custom-post-type-slug'  ) {
          return true;
        } else {
          return false;
        }
    }
    add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post_type', 'ppt_custom_post_type_editor', 10, 2 );

    The problem is that the block editor now doesn’t appaer even in the custom post type it is supposed to show…

    I checked the custom post type slug and it’s correct.

    Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

  • Make sure you are having show_in_rest set to true and support set to at least editor in the CPT registration, and then you don’t need to have the above code ‘use_block_editor_for_post_type’

    Like this :

    'show_in_rest' => true,
    'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments' ).

    Complete CPT Registration Code Example :

    function cw_post_type() {

       register_post_type( 'portfolio',
           // WordPress CPT Options Start
           array(
               'labels' => array(
                   'name' => __( 'Portfolio' ),
                   'singular_name' => __( 'Portfolio' )
               ),
               'has_archive' => true,
               'public' => true,
               'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio'),
               'show_in_rest' => true, // this is a must
               'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments' ) // at least array('editor') should be there
           )
       );
    }

    add_action( 'init', 'cw_post_type' );
