Backoffice - Gutenberg blocks displayed by default, non-removable, non-movable WordPress

Reigel Gallarde answers:

function myplugin_register_template() {
$post_type_object = get_post_type_object( 'post' );
$post_type_object->template = array(
array( 'core/paragraph', array(
'placeholder' => 'Add Description...',
) ),
);
$post_type_object->template_lock = 'all';
}
add_action( 'init', 'myplugin_register_template' );

change post in get_post_type_object( 'post' ); to your custom post type.

$post_type_object->template will hold an array of blocks that will be used as default when creating a post in this post type.

$post_type_object->template_lock = 'all'; will do the trick in non-removable, non-movable.

/*Register WordPress Gutenberg CPT */
function cw_post_type() {

register_post_type( 'edition',
// WordPress CPT Options Start
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Edition' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Edition' )
),
'has_archive' => true,
'public' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'edition'),
'show_in_rest' => true,
'supports' => array('editor')
)
);
}

add_action( 'init', 'cw_post_type' );

/* Template with Fixed Gutenberg and other blocks like ACF block */

function fixed_template_blocks() {
$post_type_object = get_post_type_object( 'edition' );
$post_type_object->template = array(
array( 'core/cover' ),
array( 'core/heading' ),
array( 'core/subhead' ),
array( 'core/paragraph'),
array( 'core/image' ),
array( 'core/list'),
array( 'core/video'),
array( 'core/audio'),
array( 'core/embed'),

);
$post_type_object->template_lock = 'all';
}
add_action( 'init', 'fixed_template_blocks' );


I tried this with CPT and seems to be working like a charm. If you are using ACF plugin blocks you need to replace the core gutenberg block names with ACF block names.


array( 'core/heading' ) replace with array('acf_gutenberg_block_here)



get_post_type_object( 'edition' ); replace edition with your own custom post type name.


if you have names for your blocks and the custom post type name send it over I can update and resend the code
