Importing Reusable Block when there are currently none

  • If the site currently has no reusable blocks, the page editor (+) panel does not display the reusable blocks tab is not displayed, so you cannot access “manage reusable blocks.”

    You can access it if you have the correct URL, like https://<<site>>/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wp_block, which could be bookmarked, but determining the correct URL without knowing this might be a challenge.

    Is there a more obvious way to access the “manage reusable blocks” page when there are none? Perhaps if there is currently no direct way of accessing this page it could be added in a future release.

    You could probably find the wp_block post type in global $wp_post_types and via custom code change the “show_ui” attribute to true (and possibly change other attributes) so the post type shows up in the admin menu like other post types do. Using the “init” action hook ought to work. (unverified)

    FYI, this idea has been discussed, but proper implementation is more complicated than either of us realize. The idea has merit but has been tabled for the time being.

    I appreciate the information, and will look into that approach as a possibility. Though, for me, I could just create the shortcut with the query parameters. Thanks.
