Thanks Corey that’s very helpful.

I guess the difficulty in my case is that the ref or post ID for reusable blocks identifies the individual reusable block but not the original block type. My template just needs a simple conditional test for block type within the post loop. In practice I doubt that I’ll need more than one reusable block per post anyway so the conditional has_block( 'block' ) works quite well. I’m also testing for get_post_gallery() to pick up those galleries that have not been made into reusable blocks and has_block( 'core-embed/vimeo' ) to flag up my videos.

I’ll take a look at Gutenberg on GitHub with a view to putting in a feature request. Thanks for your help.

Hi

Thanks for responding so quickly. An option to set excerpt length would be very helpful but in the meantime your tweak works perfectly.

I case it’s useful for your ongoing development I found that I wanted to add items to the ‘follow’ menu. It wasn’t hard to do but it might be a nice feature for future implementation.

You can see what I mean here: trailanderrors.com/podcasts/.

Thanks again for a really useful plugin. I’ve posted a 5 star review.
