Hi @matssparky
Sorry for your adoption pain with the block editor. You are right, it has changed very often, and there has been revisions to the styling.

There are two developments, I wanted you to be aware off:
Now that the full-site editing experience is at least in it foundation released, there are a few initiatives on revamping the styling especially for theme developers. Mark Root-Wiley published a proposal that could use your consideration and input “Proposal: Standardized block markup, theme.json design tokens, and CSS classes to improve interoperability”

The other is a feature that has been newly released with version 1 in 5.8 and version 2 in 5.9 and that is using theme.json to control the block editor. The documentation page is available in the handbook: Global Settings & Styles (theme.json).

It is now much easier to switch off pieces of the block settings and controls, with just as few lines.

Hope this gives you a little hope of things to get settled soon later this year when all the site editor and theme changes are more refined.

You are certainly welcome. Let me know how I can help.

As this seems to be, in fact, related to the plugin nitro pack you might need to ask in the plugin’s support forum

Hi there,
It might be that your capabilities might have changed?
I assume you were able to do all those things before, and then something changed.

To learn more about user capabilities, here is a support article about those.

Your site owner or administrator might be able to help you with this…

Hi there,
To add options to a core block, you would need to ‘extend’ the specific block.
Developer Handbook has this page: Extending the Block editor

This page from the Developer Handbook, “Block Controls: Toolbar and Settings Sidebar“, should get you started on offering your users controls for your additional options.

While it’s true that there is no menu item for the Customizer, you can still access it by adding ‘/wp-admin/customize.php’ to your site’s URL
Or you click on

• Appearance > Themes and
• use the “Customize” button on the TT1 Blocks Theme card.

Hi there,
If I understand the problem correctly, this seems to be a known issue. The team closed it as there was a work around.

add_filter('rest_url', function ($url) {
      $url = str_replace(home_url(), site_url(), $url);
      return $url;
});

It might not match your use case entirely. Maybe it gets you started on the right track?

@style960 This was bugging me again, and I did some further testing. This is what I found:
Block based navigation in WordPress 5.8
Only the “Navigation Menu Block” would be available in the Widget Screen. You would need to create a menu via Appearance > Menus and that will be available via drop down list.

This is not yet available in the Post Block Editor. That’s what I mis read earlier

Post Block Editor

• WordPress 5.8 – only provides a Page List block
• Gutenberg Plugin – has two Navigation blocks available for the block editor out of the box: Navigation (horizontal) and Navigation (vertical)

Navigation Screen is part of the Gutenberg Plugin Experiments and needs to be switch on

This might be a bit confusing, I am afraid. The reason is that the navigation block and screen are still under active development and only is partially available for users.

I asked in the WP Slack channel (#eature-navigation-block-editor) if there is a method to enable the “Navigation Menu Block” as well for the post editor and will update this thread, with the answer.

All the best, Birgit

Hi there,
There are quite a few affiliate plugins available that might fit your use case.

You might find the right one while reading through description or documentation. In the end, I would install them on my test site, one at a time, and create a test case for your needed functionality.

You can see a list by searching for “Affiliates”

Hi Paul,
The navigation block is still in the experimental stage in the Gutenberg plugin for the block-editor. If you have the plugin installed, you could switch it on.
WP-Admin > Gutenberg > Experiments

Sorry, that I wasn’t able to respond in Spanish.
You can also consult with the volunteers in the Spanish WordPress Support forums

Support Forums

Hi there! Thanks for the greetings!
Sounds you have a nice mystery at your hands.
This is also a bit hard to troubleshoot from the distance without more specifics.
Can you please share the error message, if there is one, and browser versions?

Furthermore, could you please test if the error message appears after you clear the browser cache?
Once you can share so more specifics, that are different between your laptop and your other computer, support volunteers could make more suggestions to troubleshoot this with you.

Good luck!
Birgit

Hi Oliver,
I took a look at your site and found that there might be a residue from you Google Tag Manager lingering around, from a plugin/service called “nitropack”
Does that sound familiar?

You are welcome! Good luck!

Yes, WordPress creates the initial value of the nickname automatically for a new user.
After you saved the new user information, only the username is not changeable. You should be able to change the nickname via the User Edit screen.
