Permanently delete block type

    Hi,

    Block Types that have been changed to drafts, have been trashed and even permanently deleted still show up in the add block sidebar and they just create a blank block. They can also still be found under Custom Fields > Tools > Export Block Types.

    Am I missing something or is there a bug preventing block types from being deleted?

    Using WP 5.5.3 and Advanced Custom Fields: Extended 0.8.7.4

    I’ve also run WP-Optimize to clean the database.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback! This is not normal, block types generated using the Dynamic Block Types module should be removed when deleted. There seems to be a desync there. Can you please go to the “Settings > Options” menu and search for the acfe setting, and delete it? This will regenerate a new acfe setting with all latest available information (Dynamic Post Types, Dynamic Block Types etc…).

    This will fix the desync. However, the origin of the desync seems vague. Did you make some special operations recently, like site migration, import/export?

    Hope it helps!

    Regards.

    That got it ??

    It’s possible I migrated the site from local to dev at some point, but I can’t remember now.

    Thanks for your help!
