No parent page dropdown..

  • Okay so I thought I would give gutterburg a go. The very first time I create a page with it, no parent dropdown..

    I have been through every option I can find. No parent page option..

    I have read about this *might* be a REST issue. Is this actually true? Is there a way to enable the this with opening opening REST back up?

    The setting in my security plugin says;

    Restricted Access – Restrict access to most REST API data. This means that most requests will require a logged in user or a user with specific privileges, blocking public requests for potentially-private data. *We recommend selecting this option.*

    Hello!

    We found the new parent dropdown is being retrieved via JavaScript via the API. If there’s an error generating the pages list on the server (say, due to a broken theme or plugin), or nothing is returned (say, due to the request being blocked), the JavaScript will die and not display the parent option at all.

    Also, by default it will only retrieve 100 pages at a time, making subsequent requests. If any of these fail, the JavaScript will die and not display the parent option.

    There’s an obscure JavaScript error shown in the web developer tools console, but nothing obvious shown on the frontend to indicate anything has gone wrong!
