How to remove inspector controls from core blocks

[winefolly]

Hey Zac,

First off thanks for the course – I’m really finding it useful to level up my Gutenberg skills.

Something which I didn’t see mentioned anywhere is how to remove controls from the core blocks. For example removing the dropcap, custom text size, background and color options from the paragraph block.

TIA,
Chris

Hiya!

Yes, when I made the course this wasn’t really possible. They are looking for ways to make blocks more customizable like you want and I hope to cover more hooks in a separate advanced video.

For the time being if you want a custom block you have to build it yourself.

That said, please go ask this question in WP Slack #core-editor channel and see if they have made any progress! Would love to know what you find out.

Once it’s possible I’ll prepare some material on how to do it 🙂

Hey Zac,

Thanks for the replies 🙂 Noted, I’ll go ahead and replace the core blocks with my own variations.

Cheers,
Chris
