youtube block persistent error

    My students have noted a persistent error with the EmbedPress (v2.6.1) YouTube block, in that it locks all blocks above it, preventing e.g. formatting or hyperlinks in text that precedes. We have routinely fixed it by substituting a non-EmbedPress YouTube block, but we’d prefer that it works.

    Have others experienced this?

    Thanks,

    Jim P.

    Hi @doctorproctor,

    I’m really sorry that you’re facing issues with EmbedPress YouTube block. We’ve checked and it was working perfectly on our end.

    Anyways, may I know which WordPress version you’re using currently ? Also make sure to forward your page URL so we could check what’s going on there.

    Thanks for your cooperation.

    Have a nice day !

    We are using WP latest (v5.5.1).

    I have just reproduced the error in a trial post, here.

    Your YouTube block is the one toward the top, which I just added; a different YouTube block is below and functions properly.

    What happens is that, once your block is inserted, all text in the edit window above the block cannot be selected (e,g., to format or add hyperlink). Any such formatting you see at present was done prior to adding your block.

    I append below the edit code to your block and that immediately above, though I don’t see anything immediately off.
