Now working on disabling in Customizer widgets. |

The "Site Logo" block doesn't work as well. Changes aren't saved from the widgets screens. |

I think reusable blocks would also need to be disabled (as they use entities), so I'm not sure how valid this option is. |
Contributor

Yes, ➕ 1️⃣ for reusable block kind of making this option less viable. Nevertheless, we can come back later to all entity blocks. Disabling reusable blocks from widget areas now does not prevent them to be enabled later. |

@draganescu I've removed all the entity blocks including reusable blocks. I'll leave this PR here as an "option" if a better solution can't be found prior to 5.8. |

I don't think we can feasibly implement an entity saving flow in time for 5.8. I'm OK with adding support for these blocks in 5.8.x or 5.9. |

Does that mean we want to look to merge this? If so please could I have a review 🙏 🙇♂️ |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I tested this and it works as described. Given that this is definitely going to be added back later the code looks good as well. With the exception of reusable blocks, all the theme blocks may still need real world exposure, while widget areas contain all kinds of data today, therefore I believe we're good moving forward with this PR for 5.8. 👍🏻

Description
Currently FSE blocks don't play well with the Widgets Editor because the required entities aren't there. Moreover, we'd need to support the multi-saving flows/UI from the Site Editor in order to support these blocks.
For 5.8 we could consider disabling all "FSE" blocks. This PR does just that.
It doesn't mean we go with this approach, but this PR allows it to be an option.
Fixes #32756
How has this been tested?
