Reusable Blocks missing from drop-down

    I am having a problem seeing my Reusable Blocks in drop-down. I am using the Twenty Nineteen theme and WordPress 5.0.

    In a blog post I created a new Reusable Block. It appears just fine in this Post.

    However, when I go to a second Post and I attempt to add that Reusable Block, I don’t see Reusable Blocks in my Block Libraries drop-down. I see all the standard WordPress 5.0 blocks, but my Reusable Blocks section in the drop-down is not there.

    When I go back to the original Post that I created the Reusable Block within, I see the Reusable Blocks section in my Block Libraries.

  • I tried duplicating this on a test site, and I didn’t have any trouble creating, saving, and re-using the reusable block in a different post. Is it possible you have another plugin interfering?

    Thank you for testing that.

    It appears as if the drop-down is cut off by the UI.

    Is there a /r command or a similar slash command to access same?

    I’ll start deactivating plugins to see if the issue remains…

    Wow.

    I chose to deactivate the (latest) Yoast SEO Premium plugin as the first plugin to deactivate, and now the WordPress 5.0 editor is a white screen of death when I try to edit any of the Posts.

    I’ll follow up after re-activating Yoast.

    I reactivated the Yoast SEO Premium plugin and now the WordPress 5.0 Editor is back (no white screen of death).

    I’ll report this to Yoast.

    Once I get that fixed I’ll continue troubleshooting this issue I have with hidden Reusable Blocks.

    Please leave this ticket open in the meantime.

    Thanks @linux4me2 – I appreciate the help!

    Interesting that Yoast broke things. I think it adds stuff to the editor, doesn’t it? That may be what’s obscuring your UI.

    If you can get a look at the PHP error that resulted in the white screen of death, it may tell you something, too.

    By the way, I haven’t tried it yet, but according to the WP 5.0 Master List, you can disable all the plugins just for the admin user with the Health Check plugin, and also get troubleshooting info, which might save you some time, but it does mean installing another plugin…

    Yes it does.

    I’ve heard back from Yoast and they wanted a Javascript Console screenshot which I’ve forwarded (there was one error).

    I think I’ll install the Health Check plugin – heard of it before…

    More to follow…

    Yes, please let us know what you find.

    Installed Health Monitor & Troubleshooting plugin.

    Entered the “troubleshoot mode” and apparently all the plugins are disabled when entering (except of course the Health Monitor plugin).

    Edited the blog post and no Reusable Blocks would appear. Also no Yoast blocks appeared (apparently since the Yoast plugin is disabled).

    Enabled ONLY the Yoast plugins (Premium and Local) and edited the blog post again and no Yoast blocks and no Reusable blocks were available.

    Exited troubleshoot mode.

    Doesn’t make sense.

    However, now I will disable all plugins and re-enable one by one.

    Well crap.

    It was the Safari browser.

    I installed Firefox and the Reusable Blocks are now appearing correctly in the WordPress 5.0 Editor.

    I don’t have any caching plugins installed but apparently Safari cached a incomplete screen and kept serving it up.

    Pissed – what a waste of your time and Yoast’s time.

    Very sorry about this.

    Not a waste, that’s really good information. You may save others a lot of time troubleshooting.

    Am having the same problem, with both Safari and Firefox. I downloaded the latter after reading through this thread. Any solutions anyone? It is driving me nuts.
