What?
Fixes handling of the old
core/freeformblock syntax by the missing block logic.Why?
This is part of the experiment to disable TinyMCE loading by default, while still making it load where necessary.
How?
In addition to handling raw code blocks in the editor as freeform blocks, we're now also handling explicit
wp:core/freeformones.You'll also need the fix from #72966, otherwise you'll be getting some errors when attemtping to load a post that has a classic block.
Testing Instructions
core/freeformblock as shown on the video.<div class="notice">You can include <em>raw HTML</em> here.</div>without thecore/freeformwrapper and verify it continues to recognize it as a "Classic" block.Here's the block markup I'm testing with in the video:
