Popup maker over-rides the native default WP gutenberg block editor view (BUG?)

Hi @wordmax,

Thanks for the post.

The addition of that option area for Popup Maker is intentional. That space is dedicated for plugins that have options available in the editor, so you might find other settings there for other plugins in the future too.

We appreciate your understanding. ??

Okay thanks but it might be nice to have an option where we can make the default view the text style controls instead of the plugin block menu that shows pop up maker because every time we want to edit the text we have to go over to the right and click on the design icon to switch over. So maybe you could add that as a setting somewhere. Thank you

Hi @wordmax ,

Thanks for your response.

We’ve submitted a feature request to our developers for an option to disable the Popup Maker Block Tab Panel.

Please Note that we cannot guarantee how soon or if ever the feature would be added as we consider factors such as:

• How many people have requested it, and
• How complex it is to implement.

If the feature gets added, it would be included in the changelog of that release.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have more questions.

You may also send us a message via Support Request – Popup Maker.

Cheers!

Hey @wordmax ,

Right now, if a block has any settings (from WP or a plugin), the block editor will show the settings tab first. It’d be great if we could change the tab order or choose which tab to show by default. Maybe in the future.

Luckily there’s PHP filter you can use to turn off the tabs completely and stack settings and styles in 1 column. This might work better instead of always clicking on the styles tab right away.

I recorded a demo that shows you how to turn off the block inspector tabs so at least you can get to the appearance controls faster.

The link to the code snippet is in the video description.

Holler if you have any questions.

Have a great weekend ??

Thanks @mlchaves that is very useful info! I checked out the video and the wp dev notes documentation link. Good stuff. I think you forgot to add your code snippet to your video tutorial notes/description. I guess its basically the same as this one provided by Aaron on the dev notes wp documentation?

function my_plugin_disable_tabs_by_default( $settings ) {
    $settings['blockInspectorTabs'] = array( 'default' => false );
    return $settings;
}
add_filter('block_editor_settings_all', 'my_plugin_disable_tabs_by_default');

Hey @wordmax ,

Ah, I meant to say I’ll add a link to the snippet, ??. Yep, that snippet you pasted into the thread is correct. It’s the same filter I used in the video at 2:34 (I customized the name of the PHP function in the video).

I used the Code Snippets plugin to add that?filter?to my test site. Check out our?Getting Started With Custom PHP?guide if adding PHP to your site is new to you.

Yell back if I missed anything else ??.
