I use a Builder plugin on the site. Members are editors and can create their own page. I want to disable Gutenberg so that they can only edit pages with Buldir. I would also disable the properties of the page for them and I would enter it automatically. When I create a new page, I disable comments, the template is Blank Page, do not access the Custom fields. You can practically just add a featured image and title to your page, then click on the Bulder link and edit it. In the page menu, I disabled Editing and Quick Editing, and I also disabled editing the page URL. However, I can't specify the properties of the new page and I have no idea how to disable it without creating a new page with the builder.
I'm trying to influence the properties of the page with this code:
function my_default_content( $post_content, $post ) {
if( $post->post_type )
switch( $post->post_type ) {
case 'page':
$post->comment_status = 'closed';
$post_meta->_wp_page_tamplate = 'page-template-blank.php';
break;
}
return $post_content;
}
add_filter( 'default_content', 'my_default_content', 10, 2 );
I could update, but it's too late after editing the page - eg Blank Page template. And even though I ban Gutenberg in vain, there is still an editing interface :(
add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post', '__return_false' );
Could you help me? Thanks
**EDIT:**
The WP engine changed completely in this respect around 2019. See Removing panels (meta boxes) in the Block Editor I have to approach the problem differently.
I was able to disable certain options using the code, but editors can overwrite the author of the page, which I can't disable for now. I also have problems with basic page settings - see e.g. Blank Page above.
In addition, I can't disable the Gutenberg textarea input field for editors :(
