Content-Only Editing of Pages for Non-Administrators
Locks the layout of pages in the block editor for everyone except administrators, so editors can change text and images but cannot move, delete or restyle blocks and break the design.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
// Post types whose layout is locked.
$wpide_content_only_types = array( 'page' );
add_filter( 'block_editor_settings_all', function ( $settings, $context ) use ( $wpide_content_only_types ) {
if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) || empty( $context->post ) || ! in_array( $context->post->post_type, $wpide_content_only_types, true ) ) {
return $settings;
}
$settings['templateLock'] = 'contentOnly';
return $settings;
}, 10, 2 );Notes
Applies to the post types in $wpide_content_only_types; administrators edit normally.
