 * Hi,
 * First off, thanks for the plugin, this is exactly what I was looking for — if
   it worked…
 * I have close to 800 posts, all made in the times before Gutenberg, which I’d 
   like to convert to blocks so I don’t have to do so manually whenever I open a
   post.
 * Those posts are in a custom post type with `'show_in_rest' => true`. However,
   and here comes the thing I don’t understand: When I activate your plugin, all
   posts of this custom post type are being switched back to the classic editor.
   I was expecting a button or something where I can batch-convert all posts into
   blocks, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
 * In fact, I’ve not found a way to turn any classic posts into block-style posts.
 * Do I use your plugin wrongly, perhaps? I’m using WP v5.6 since v5.6 > makes Gutenberg
   unusable due to JS errors.
 * Thanks,
 * Kolja

 * [@thaikolja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thaikolja/) By default the plugin
   doesn’t alter the default Gutenberg behavior for custom post types. The plugin
   provides a ‘post_type_supports_convert_to_blocks’ filter hook that you can use
   to extend support to your CPT.
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'post_type_supports_convert_to_blocks', function( $supports, $post_type ) {
         if ( $post_type === 'my-cpt' ) {
           return true;
         }
   
         return $supports;
       }, 10, 2 );
       ```
   
 * Can you try the above code and let us know if that helps? Thanks.

 * Thank you, [@dsawardekar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsawardekar/). 
   Maybe make this a bit more obvious? I could imagine I’m not the only user looking
   for this function.

 * Makes sense [@thaikolja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thaikolja/) The 
   filter hook was the first step. We’ll probably end up with a Settings Page to
   configure the list of post types that should be enabled.

 * Hi,
 * I have installed the plugin, however, I don’t get how to use it.
 * I went into the edit mode of a single regular post and the Classic editor still
   appears there, even though, I pressed update.
 * I have no idea how to bulk convert the posts neither how to do it one by one.
 * Help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Wow, I just submitted a ticket for this. This is a bug, not an enhancement request.
   Your plugin should NOT disable default functionality
