Notes

  • The Post Content block is intended for use in Templates and Template parts.
  • It can also be used in the Post Template block within the Query Loop block.

Recursion detection and prevention

  • The Post Content block is one of those blocks that can go recursive.
  • This was a known issue in Gutenberg 9.x
  • I created a Post Content block automatically and it all went tits up with Gutenberg 10.0.0
    • I thought it had been fixed.
    • I must have been mistaken.
    • I’ve updated the issue WordPress/gutenberg#26923.
    • The issue is still open, though work has been done to improve the behaviour.
  • Gutenberg does now contain some recursion detection logic.

Within the block editor
