Call Inner Block in Theme

    Is it possible to call an inner block in my theme? Not the meta of a block but an entire inner block and all it’s content? My use case is that certain blocks would be able to be displayed above/below a hard-coded section in my theme. So for example the standard post content would be at the top, then a hard-coded area in my theme (like a full-width map for example), then below that pull the content inside an inner block.

    Actually, I can see how to get it in with this:

    function be_display_post_blockquote() {
  global $post;
  $blocks = parse_blocks( $post->post_content );
  foreach( $blocks as $block ) {
    if( 'lazyblock/area-2' === $block['blockName'] ) {
      echo render_block( $block );
      break;
    }
  }
}

    But how can I stop the block from showing with the other “standard” blocks?

    I figured this out

    
//If single block exists on page or post don't show it with the other blocks
function remove_blocks() {
// Check if we're inside the main loop in a post or page
  if ( ( is_single() || is_page() ) && in_the_loop() && is_main_query() ) {
    //parse the blocks so they can be run through the foreach loop
    $blocks = parse_blocks( get_the_content() );
    foreach ( $blocks as $block ) {
        //look to see if your block is in the post content -> if yes continue past it if no then render block as normal
        if ( 'lazyblock/top-of-page' === $block['blockName'] ) {
            continue;
        } else {
            echo render_block( $block );
        }
    }
  }
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'remove_blocks');
