WordPress Plugin Activated but Not Visible in Gutenberg Blocks


npx @wordpress/create-block copyright-date-block --template @wordpress/create-block-tutorial-template

After successfully activating the plugin in the WordPress admin panel, I expected to see my custom block ("copyright-date-block") in the Gutenberg editor. However, upon searching for it in the Gutenberg blocks, I couldn't find it anywhere.

Can anyone guide me on how I can see my "copyright-date-block" in my WordPress Gutenberg editor? Are there any specific steps or settings I need to follow?

Steps Taken and Expected Outcome:

Plugin Creation: I used the npx @wordpress/create-block command to generate the plugin named "copyright-date-block" based on the tutorial template.

Plugin Activation: After successfully creating the plugin, I activated it in the WordPress admin panel under the "Plugins" section. I expected the activated plugin to be fully functional and visible in the Gutenberg editor.


Solution

  • Took me a while but got it working downgrade the versions of the WordPress scripts:

    package.json
    @wordpress/scripts": "28.0.0" --> 27.9.0 
    

    then delete node_modules folder, run npm install, then run npm build.
