Blocks Product Editor for WooCommerce

Blocks Product Editor for WooCommerce plugin enables the Gutenberg Editor for WooCommerce products.

WooCommerce shipped its own block-based product editor and then removed it in 11.0 with no replacement, so a product description is edited in the classic editor again. This plugin brings the WordPress block editor back to the product screen: every product, its description, its short description and the product taxonomies are edited with blocks, and the classic editor is one switch away when a shop needs it.

Works with the WooCommerce versions that still ship a product block template (7.7 – 10.x) as well as with 11.0 and newer, which have none – the plugin only edits that template away where it exists.

FREE Features

• Enable or disable the block editor for WooCommerce products, with one switch
• WooCommerce’s own Variations tab is kept wherever it is still needed – and when another plugin forces the classic screen, the screen says so, by name
• An integrity guard for the variation description: a vendor screen, an import or another plugin that cannot edit blocks can no longer silently replace a description written with blocks. The refused value is kept for review, and the admin is told which variation was affected
• For such a description the classic variations screen shows a readable preview and an explanation instead of a textarea that would display markup and destroy it on save
• A way out of blocks, always: a variation description written with blocks can be turned into plain text from the classic screen, with one click and a warning that the formatting goes – nothing is ever locked inside the panel
• A diagnostics report on the settings page – WooCommerce and its version, the block editor, the product metadata boxes, the Professional bundle, the variations mode and the measured plugins, each with a status, an explanation and what to do next
• wp bpe status, wp bpe enable and wp bpe disable from the console – the way out when the product screen itself is what broke – and wp bpe integrations, which lists every measured plugin with its state and the reason for it

PRO Features

The PRO version includes all FREE features, plus:

• A variations table: attributes, SKU, prices, stock, gallery images and bulk editing, saved through WooCommerce’s own variation request – so fields added by other plugins keep travelling with the row
• A gallery for every variation: add, reorder and remove the images of a single variation
• A block editor for the variation description, in a modal window, with a preview in the row
• A product fields panel in the editor sidebar – price, sale price, SKU, stock, dimensions and relations – that respects the shop’s decimal separator
• The Catalog visibility box, so the “Catalog visibility” and “Featured” product settings are available next to the other product data instead of only in the sidebar
• A per-product switch back to the classic editor – the store keeps the block editor for products in general, but a single product can still be edited the old way
• Restricting the block editor to selected user roles, so e.g. shop managers can keep the classic editor
• Restricting the block editor to selected product types, so e.g. only simple products are edited in blocks
• The rich “Product short description” box – the short description gets the full WordPress editor instead of a plain textarea
