Default Block Editor Preferences for Everyone
Sets sensible defaults for every user of the block editor, such as the top toolbar, the List View opened and button text labels, while each person can still change them.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
// Editor preferences (true or false).
$wpide_editor_defaults = array(
'fixedToolbar' => true,
'showListViewByDefault' => true,
'showIconLabels' => false,
'showBlockBreadcrumbs' => true,
);
add_action( 'enqueue_block_editor_assets', function () use ( $wpide_editor_defaults ) {
wp_add_inline_script(
'wp-preferences',
'wp.domReady(function(){(window._wpLoadBlockEditor||Promise.resolve()).then(function(){wp.data.dispatch("core/preferences").setDefaults("core",' . wp_json_encode( array_map( 'boolval', $wpide_editor_defaults ) ) . ');});});'
);
} );Notes
Only defaults change; anything a user has already set in Preferences wins. Set a value to true or false to taste.
