Manage block Category

[amritdeepkaur]

Hi Gutenberg team,
From the link
#7606
i get to know that i can create my own custom category and in Gutenberg 3.4, its working fine,
But recently i update the plugin to version 3.5 and the following code is not working.

add_filter( 'block_categories', function( $categories, $post ) {

if ( $post->post_type !== 'post' ) {
	return $categories;
}
return array_merge(
	$categories,
	array(
		array(
			'slug' => 'my-category',
			'title' => __( 'My category', 'my-plugin' ),
		),
	)
);

}, 10, 2 );


What should i do???

It's working just fine for me with your code (make sure to register at least a block for you category)

Closing as it should be working. Please, reopen if it doesn't.

I also see this as an issue with the exact same code shown above, using v3.9.0

I also had this problem, fixed it by adding a block to the category, building the React package and splitting the add_action hooks into enqueue_block_editor_assets, enqueue_block_assets and init (after the category registration) instead of only init.
