Funny behavior on galleries

    Still testing the plugin in an old and big blog.

    On posts with galleries, instead of leaving the code as:

    [gallery link="file" ids="11952,11954,11956,11958,11960,11962,11964,11966,11968,11970,11972,11974"]

    It is transformed into an html block like this inside the database: 

    <!-- wp:gallery {"ids":[11952,11954,11956,11958,11960,11962,11964,11966,11968,11970,11972,11974],"columns":3,"linkTo":"file"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped"><ul class="blocks-gallery-grid"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><a href="https://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/IMAGE.jpg"><img src="https://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/IMAGE.jpg" alt="" data-id="11952" class="wp-image-11952"/></a></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11954" class="wp-image-11954"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11956" class="wp-image-11956"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11958" class="wp-image-11958"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><a href="https://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/IMAGE.jpg"><img src="https://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/IMAGE.jpg" alt="" data-id="11960" class="wp-image-11960"/></a></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11962" class="wp-image-11962"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11964" class="wp-image-11964"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11966" class="wp-image-11966"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11968" class="wp-image-11968"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11970" class="wp-image-11970"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11972" class="wp-image-11972"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img data-id="11974" class="wp-image-11974"/></figure></li></ul></figure>
<!-- /wp:gallery -->

    Would be nice if the gallery stayed the same.

    Thanks

  • Hi @myuption,

    What do you mean when you want the gallery to stay the same?

    It’s expected behavior when Convert to Blocks transforms the gallery shortcode into a block as you mentioned above. The structure of the converted block is the same as adding a new gallery block.

    However, the gallery code, or shortcode, it is changed in the database source, instead of remaining as:

    [gallery link="file" ids="11952,11954,11956,11958,11960,11962,11964,11966,11968,11970,11972,11974"]

    It is replaced by the html code.

    I made several posts using blocks and the sql database shows the shortcode, not the html.

    @myuption I can’t reproduce this behavior. I create new posts containing gallery blocks and the block content is saved to the database, not the shortcode. I’m testing using WordPress 5.8. See the screenshot: https://share.getcloudapp.com/lluojPnm

    I just made a new copy of this blog, I will test once again and see how it goes.

    Thanks
