Block Enable Toggle

Adds an Enabled toggle to every block in the WordPress block editor. When a block is disabled it stays in the editor — so you can keep it as a draft, a seasonal banner, or a work-in-progress — but it is never rendered on the front end.

How it works

• A boolean betEnabled attribute is registered on every block type (default true).
• A Visibility → Enabled toggle is added to the block inspector.
• Disabling a block stores "betEnabled": false in the block delimiter comment. Because the value lives in the comment and not the saved HTML, block validation is never affected.
• A server-side render_block filter removes disabled blocks from front-end output, so disabled content is never sent to the browser.

Disabled blocks are still rendered inside the editor (and its REST-driven previews) so you can see and re-enable them.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.6+
• PHP 7.4+

Development

The JavaScript build uses @wordpress/scripts:

npm install        # install build tooling (@wordpress/scripts)
npm run build      # compile src/ → build/
npm run start      # watch mode
npm run lint:js    # lint the editor source

PHP linting, unit tests, end-to-end tests, and Plugin Check run through a Composer-based gate (composer check) that is set up in the QA scaffold.
