Re-branding the example plugin

[munirkamal]

Hey Zac,

I am trying to rebrand the example plugin. I replaced all the instance of “jsforwp” with something else and I am getting errors and also blocks doesn’t appear in editor. Could you please guide on this?

Regards,
Munir

Interesting. So I just looked through the source and doing find and replace on “jsforwp” turns up

– CSS Style, fine
– Block names and namespace, should be fine
– Enqueue function calls and names, should be fine

My thoughts would be this.. Mmm…

– Check for any errors, of course
– Try wiping the bundled code and run a clean npm run build, just to try
– Try changing it back and see if it works again. If it works you have to gradually go through and change on smaller scope first

If you do a find all in your app do you see anything different that was affected? Were there any errors displaying at all?

Hi Again,

Thank you for your response. I’ve almost made it work. with one issue only which is related to dynamic blocks. After the change I am getting this error.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function register_block_type() in /app/public/wp-content/plugins/blocks-ultimate/jsforwp-blocks.php:137 Stack trace: #0 /app/public/wp-settings.php(305): include_once() #1 /app/public/wp-config.php(87): require_once('/app/public/wp-...') #2 /app/public/wp-load.php(37): require_once('/app/public/wp-...') #3 /app/public/wp-admin/admin.php(31): require_once('/app/public/wp-...') #4 /app/public/wp-admin/plugins.php(10): require_once('/app/public/wp-...') #5 {main} thrown in /app/public/wp-content/plugins/blocks-ultimate/jsforwp-blocks.php on line 137

Also for others who may try to rebrand the plugin, remember two things.

* Do not use Upercase in your string as Block names may not contain uppercase.
* Do not use “-“ as there are functions also which will break

Now just need to fix that above error as well 🙂

What is on line 137 of blocks-ultimate/jsforwp-blocks.php?

Had a feeling that it could be dynamic field related if anything, wasn’t sure what kind of block you were building. Should have asked ;p

ALSO, good tips for others!

Hey Zac,

Yes that code is indeed related to Dynamic block and Dynamic Alt block. So why is it break after changing the brand string only? Any Idea? And well I am trying to build a multi block plugin. I will share with you as soon I got something ready. Still gettingggg staaarteed 🙁

Thanks for you help.
