block_editor_settings filter

[michaelbourne]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to disable the code editor mode in Gutneberg. Based on old issues here and some PRs, I figured this code would work:

function prefix_custom_editor_settings( $settings, $post ) {

	$settings['richEditingEnabled'] = true;
	$settings['codeEditingEnabled'] = false;
	$settings['titlePlaceholder'] = 'Write a captivating title!';

    return $settings;
}
add_filter( 'block_editor_settings', 'prefix_custom_editor_settings', 10, 2 );

The titlePlaceholder was added as a test and it worked perfectly. Problem is, the code editor is still available.

Any tips?

Hi there and thanks for your report!

Which version of WordPress and Gutenberg are you using?

Hey @swissspidy

This is a default installation of WP 5.2.4 and its bundled Gutenberg version.

It might be good to note that the above code snippet works as intended in 5.3-RC1-46558 (Bleeding Edge update via Beta tester plugin), so this issue may be moot, however I was unable to locate a specific PR that fixed it.

This feature was introduced in #14932, which I don‘t think is in 5.2. Therefore closing as it‘s working in 5.3 / current GB.
