Change Default Block Inserted with +

    Using the block editor, the default block inserted with + is classic paragraph.

    Where/how to change the default block that’s inserted with +?

    Or where is the documentation for it? That’s really what’s needed. If I could just find documentation on Google or here for “default block” or “default block inserted”, that solves it.

    Or send me the notes, and I’ll write up the documentation.

    Thanks.

  • If you happen to have Advanced Editor Tools installed, go into your Dashboard -> Settings -> Advanced Editor Tools and scroll down to the section in Advanced Options that says “Make the Classic Paragraph or Classic block the default block (hybrid mode)” and make sure that is unchecked.

    If you don’t have that plugin installed, then perhaps a similar plugin also has that option.

    D’oh. That’s it. I did it to myself by forgetting I’ve been using that plugin for a long time. And that’s it.

    So for future searchers, if WordPress Gutenberg inserts a classic paragraph by default, check if the plugin Advanced Editor Tools (previouslyTinyMCE Advanced) is installed. Then in settings for the plugin, deselect “Make the Classic Paragraph or Classic block the default block (hybrid mode)”.

    Thanks.
