Post Content: Use the default block appender for empty content - #80026
Conversation
Replace the empty paragraph template prompt with an always-visible default block appender when the content is empty. The appender writes nothing to the entity until the user types, unlike the template paragraph, which flowed into entity edits on load. Mount the inner blocks area only once the entity record has loaded, so that an empty block list means an empty post rather than one that has not arrived yet.

Explicit renderAppender components already bypass the selection gating when rendering; the stylesheet hid the default block appender inside unselected blocks regardless, which defeated the always-visible writing prompt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rendering of the default block appender inside nested blocks has been gated on selection in the block list itself since the appender subscription rework, so an implicit appender is never in the DOM while its block is unselected. The stylesheet rule from the original clickthrough work only affected appenders explicitly provided through renderAppender, which are meant to be visible without selection.

In my tests, the main difference here compared to trunk, is that the first click on the post content block selects the block, and the second the appender. While in trunk, clicking once selects directly the appender which feels more natural maybe. |
…tate The click-first state exists so that clicking an empty Group or Columns selects the container instead of opening the inserter, so it only applies to button appenders. The default block appender inserts a paragraph and moves the selection into it on the first click, which covers selecting the container, so the writing prompt in an empty Content block responds immediately.

This PR fixes a regression we noticed while testing WooCommerce with WordPress 7.1 beta. The regression The cart and checkout templates don’t render the checkout blocks; instead, they read the post content from the page where the block sits. see here With git bisect we determined that #77100 was the culprit. The ask Thank you! |

We can certainly add the backport label here, it's a well contained PR. |
