Is a gutenberg block editor available in a standard posttype content (Body) ?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: The user wanted front-end form users to enter post body content with Gutenberg blocks, but the form only offered the WYSIWYG editor.

Solution: Toolset Forms cannot show the block editor on the front end, so block content must be written in WordPress admin. Use Toolset Access to control who can edit there, and use only one editor per post.

I use a standard posttpe conten(body) block to enter content text . But the only way to enter content , via an edit form, is a wysiwig editor block.
Is there a possiility to give the end user to enter content with the standard gutenberg blocks ?

Thanks in advance,
Kees

Hi Kees,

Welcome to Toolset support.

Toolset Forms can't show the block editor on the front-end. The post content field in a form only uses the WYSIWYG editor.

If your users need blocks, they would need to write in the WordPress admin. With Toolset Access, you can control which post types their role can create and edit there.

Please also be careful if a post written with blocks is later edited through a front-end form. This can break its block formatting, so it's best to use only one of the two editors for the same post.

Thanks
