{{{
<?php
if (
isset( $post->post_content ) &&
str_contains( (string) $post->post_content, '<!-- wp:' )
) {
wp_admin_notice(
__(
'This content includes blocks, and some of the
block content might not display in the Visual editor. Please review the
content carefully before overwriting or deleting it.',
'your-text-domain'
),
array(
'type' => 'warning',
'dismissible' => true,
)
);
}
?>
}}}
This code follows WordPress best practices by safely checking if block
content exists before running the logic, which prevents PHP warnings and
improves stability. It also uses proper escaping and translation functions
to keep the admin notice secure, maintainable, and translation-ready.
This is my suggestion for improving the code by following WordPress coding
standards, adding safer checks, and improving maintainability.
