Please give us a description of what happened.

With Gutenberg 4.1 RC2 the Yoast plugin interferes with displaying reusable blocks on front end.

Tested by plugin elimination.
No display of browser console errors

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

That reusable block appears on front end.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

  1. Yoast SEO is activated.
  2. Add a new post
  3. Create a block (any block will do, tested with cover and horizontal line)
  4. Save & Preview
  5. Make it reusable
  6. Save & Preview

Technical info

  • WordPress version: 4.9.8
  • Yoast SEO version: 4.1 RC2
  • If relevant, which editor is affected (or editors):
  • [ ] Classic Editor
  • [x] Gutenberg
  • [ ] Classic Editor plugin

As Gutenberg 4.1.1 has been released containing a fix, I'm closing this issue.

Please update to the latest Gutenberg version.

Hi @bph

We are trying to reproduce this behaviour, but are unable to.

We have tested it with:

  • Gutenberg 4.1-rc2
  • Gutenberg 4.1
  • Yoast SEO 9.0.2
  • WordPress 4.9.8

Could you confirm that you have this problem with the latest versions of the plugins?
It would be very helpful to have a video or GIF showing the steps that are taken to reproduce this problem.

I'm also experiencing this issue ever since Gutenberg updated to 4.1 (RCs included).

I tested with Yoast 9.0.2, 9.0.1, 8.4, 8.3 and both Gutenberg 4.1 and 4.0. There's no issue with Gutenberg 4.0, but when Gutenberg 4.1 and Yoast is active, reusable blocks don't show up on the frontend (there's no issue when Yoast is deactivated).

There's no console error, and no trace in the page source of where the reusable block was supposed to be. I have a variety of reusable blocks on my site (images, custom html, multiple blocks, paragraphs etc). All of them disappear on the front end, while working perfectly in the editor.

Here's a gif:

@moorscode this will be fixed by https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/11050 and likely show up in a 4.1.1 release.

@bph, @annestk thanks so much for proactive testing and for filing this issue as well as https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/10942 !

I also have this issue, with no Jetpack, no Yoast and no other plugins installed. WordPress 5.2.2 with core Gutenberg (not the plugin).

Hi @wolffe. You've posted in the Yoast GitHub repository but you mentioned that for your case you do not have Yoast installed. Can you please check to make sure the same issue has not already been reported at https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues and could you create a new issue with steps to reproduce in a screenshot if there isn't already one there that covers your case?

Hi @designsimply - this is old news. It's a known bug/feature. I have exposed the Reusable Blocks myself.
