How can I change the default options?

    How can I change defaults? I saw in the documentation about adding “add_action(“init”) in functions.php, but that didn’t seem to work.

    I may just need to mod the php files in the plugin, but I’d like to avoid that since that will be more work in the future to keep it synced with the main repo.

    Default options for what?

    Did you see the documentation wiki?

    The default options in the code block. For example:
    Show line numbers=true
    Default language=C#

    I looked at the instructions for adding “add_action”. I tried sticking this in functions.php, but the code block still had the default options (i.e. show line numbers = false)

    Here’s what I tried:
    add_action(
    ‘init’,
    function() {
    $block_type = WP_Block_Type_Registry::get_instance()->get_registered( ‘core/code’ );
    $block_type->attributes[‘language’][‘default’] = ‘cs’;
    $block_type->attributes[‘showLineNumbers’][‘default’] = true;
    }
    );

    Even when you create a new Code block? I believe that doesn’t change existing blocks.

    Yes, even when I create a new Code block, it still has the defaults instead of my overrides.

    In case this is useful info:
    WP: 5.5.1
    Theme: GeneratePress 2.4.2

    It looks like you have to supply a priority greater than 100 for the init action. This ensures it runs after \Syntax_Highlighting_Code_Block\init(). I’ve updated the wiki to fix that.
