Adds Gutenberg (REST API) support to the portfolio post type created by the Portfolio Post Type plugin by Devin Price and Gary Jones.
Description
Portfolio Post Type is a bare-bones plugin for creating a portfolio post type and portfolio taxonomies (categories and tags). It has 100,000+ active installs. My WP Fangirl site is one of them.
Unfortunately, the plugin is not compatible with Gutenberg, because the REST API is enabled. This plugin checks for the Portfolio_Post_Type class and sets show_in_rest->true for the post type and taxonomies.
The plugin also adds a block template to the portfolio. If you plan to use this on your site, you may want to edit the plugin to use different blocks in the template.
Installation
- Upload
gutenberg-ppt.zipvia the 'Plugins | Add New |Upload' in the WordPress admin, or unzip the file and upload thegutenberg-pptfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory by FTP or SSH. - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- There are no settings for this plugin.
FAQ
Is there a UI for choosing, customizing, and saving the blocks in the template?
That would be an amazing feature. Unfortunately, I don't know how to build it. If you do and would like to, let's talk.
This plugin can be used as-is by an end user who wants to use this format for a portfolio, but it's really designed as a proof of concept and to provide an exampe for developers who want to use block templates in their CPTs.
Will this plugin be in the WordPress.org repository?
I don't have plans to submit it at this time. The REST API support should really be added to the original plugin.
