Doesn’t work with reusable (group) blocks

    Hi there,

    Converting a ToC block to a reusable block results in the following error message (my translation):

    Update failed. You are probably offline

    After exiting Gutenberg and trying to edit the same page again, the Gutenberg editor doesn’t show up at all anymore. If I remove the reusable ToC block (outside of Gutenberg) everything works fine again.

    Converting a Toc block itself to a reusable block isn’t probably that useful. But I have a use case for including a ToC in a reusable group block which also doesn’t work.

    I use WP 5.4.2 and Easy ToC 2.0.11

    I have tested such a use case… but I am not entirely surprised it did not work. A reusable block is basically just a WP Post which is loaded within a post/page. So the TOC is not actually ever part of the post/page, as it exists is a completely separate post. So even if an error did not occur I would not expect it to work in the post that the reusable block (post) was inserted into.

    It just occurred to me, It might work if you convert your reusable block group to a pattern (new in 5.5) instead. There are plugins already available to convert reusable blocks to patterns.

    I hope this helps!
