Not that this can’t be solved with CSS, but surprising, since it’s not listed in the changelog. ~Sam. * [Bonaldi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bonaldi/) * (@bonaldi) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-function-register_block_script_handle-was-called-incorrectly/#post-16279094) * Hi, This notice appears on my sites also. * [hommealone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hommealone/) * (@hommealone) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-function-register_block_script_handle-was-called-incorrectly/#post-16279553) * Confirmed as well. * This is a well- and actively-supported plugin so I’m sure they’ll have a fix for this soon.
