When I create it in its own folder with its own package.json, everything works as expected. But when I try to create it in a folder with other blocks with a package.json with custom build and start scripts for each block, the block is registered and rendered but the interactivity won’t work. I get a Uncaught TypeError: _wordpress_interactivity__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0__ is undefined.

The script in the package.json is: “start:custom”: “wp-scripts start –experimental-modules –source-path=./custom/src –output-path=./custom/build”.

The difference I’ve seen is in the built view.js files. One starts with import * as WEBPACK_EXTERNAL_MODULE__wordpress_interactivity_8e89b257 from “@wordpress/interactivity”; and the other with (() => { // webpackBootstrap “use strict”; .

Am I missing something? I’m using “@wordpress/scripts”: “^30.14.1”

For this:

The entity being edited (postType, undefined) does not have a loaded config.

I believe what is happening is your code ran before the Post Type could be registered. It is weird because post is a default Post Type and should have worked out of the box.

Maybe you can try out something like this done in core-data test.

Looking at the core/navigation-link source code, it checks whether it’s nested inside a core/navigation block. In the current code snippet, it’s not within a core/navigation block, which is why it’s not appearing in the InnerBlocks.

A possible workaround would be to include core/navigation in the allowedBlocks prop and update the snippet to act as a wrapper for it. This way, the core/navigation-link block will be available again inside the navigation block.

It’s good practice to always keep a known good backup copy of any file you’re editing so site functionality can be easily restored without needing to find and correct an error. If you very frequently test any code edits, the error that needs correction will invariably be the last bit of code you altered.

If it works for you, use it. I would recommend integrating the code via a code snippet plugin if you don’t want to make your own plugin out of it. For future codes, however, it might be better not to rely on an AI, as these could also contain security vulnerabilities.

Its better to create a custom plugin and update when needed. Otherwise, it will be removed when you update the core WordPress version. If the code works, go for it!

Thanks.

I had this idea a while ago to create a plugin to show the posts on today excluding category and year. I asked Gemini to help with the code and this is what it has come up with:

<?php

/**

* Shortcode to display posts published on the current day and month, across all years.

*

* Usage: [daily_on_this_day_posts]

*/

function display_daily_posts_on_this_day_shortcode() {

// Get the current day and month

// 'j' for day of the month without leading zeros (1 to 31)

// 'n' for month number without leading zeros (1 to 12)

$current_day = date('j');

$current_month = date('n');

// Arguments for the WordPress query

$args = array(

'post_type' => 'post', // We are querying standard posts

'post_status' => 'publish', // Only show published posts

'posts_per_page' => -1, // Retrieve all posts that match the criteria

'date_query' => array( // This is the key part for matching the date

array(

'month' => $current_month, // Match the current month

'day' => $current_day, // Match the current day

// Year is intentionally omitted to match across all years

),

),

'orderby' => 'date', // Order the results by their full publication date

'order' => 'DESC', // Show the newest posts first (e.g., from most recent year)

'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1, // Do not let sticky posts interfere with the date order

// By default, WP_Query searches all categories, so no need to specify category exclusion explicitly

);

$daily_posts_query = new WP_Query($args);

// Prepare the output string

$output = '';

// Get the current date formatted nicely for the title (e.g., "May 12th")

$current_date_formatted = date('F jS'); // Using 'F jS' for "Month daySuffix", e.g., "May 12th"

if ($daily_posts_query->have_posts()) {

$output .= '<h2>Posts from ' . esc_html($current_date_formatted) . ' (Across All Years)</h2>';

// Removed the <ul> tag

while ($daily_posts_query->have_posts()) {

$daily_posts_query->the_post();

// Each post is now a separate div block

$output .= '<div class="daily-post-entry" style="margin-bottom: 30px; padding-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; overflow: hidden;">'; // Added overflow:hidden to contain floats

// Display the featured image if it exists, floated to the left

if (has_post_thumbnail()) {

// You can change 'thumbnail' to other sizes like 'medium', 'large', or a custom size

// Added float:left and margin for spacing

$output .= '<div class="daily-post-image" style="float: left; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; max-width: 150px;">'; // Added max-width to control image size

$output .= get_the_post_thumbnail(get_the_ID(), 'thumbnail'); // Using 'thumbnail' size

$output .= '</div>';

}

// Container for the text content, to allow it to flow next to the image

$output .= '<div class="daily-post-content" style="overflow: hidden;">'; // overflow:hidden helps contain content next to float

// Display the post title as a link

$output .= '<h3><a href="' . esc_url(get_permalink()) . '">' . esc_html(get_the_title()) . '</a></h3>';

// Display the full publication date

$output .= '<p style="font-size: 0.9em; color: #555; margin-top: 0;">Published on: ' . esc_html(get_the_date('F jS, Y')) . '</p>'; // e.g., May 12th, 2023

// Display the excerpt

$output .= '<div style="margin-top: 5px;">' . get_the_excerpt() . '</div>';

$output .= '</div>'; // End of daily-post-content

// $output .= '<div style="clear: both;"></div>'; // Optional: explicit clear if overflow:hidden on parent isn't enough in some themes

$output .= '</div>'; // End of daily-post-entry

}

// Removed the </ul> tag

wp_reset_postdata(); // Important: Restore original post data after custom loop

} else {

$output .= '<p>No posts found for ' . esc_html($current_date_formatted) . ' from any year.</p>';

}

return $output; // Return the HTML to be displayed by the shortcode

}

// Register the shortcode so WordPress recognizes it

add_shortcode('daily_on_this_day_posts', 'display_daily_posts_on_this_day_shortcode');

?>

Should I simply post the code in the functions file or would it be better to create a plugin and update on a regular basis please? Is the code ok?

Thanks
