Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/bradvin/block-editor-mode-indicator/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Readme github.com/bradvin/block-editor-mode-indicator ↗

Shows a red/green status light in the WordPress admin bar that indicates whether the block editor is running in the iFrame (green) or legacy (red) mode.

Useful when testing your plugin blocks, and you want to quickly know which version of the editor is currently in use.

Forcing legacy mode

If needed, you can force the legacy (non-iFrame) post editor by enabling the setting that registers a hidden Block API v2 block. This makes the block editor load without the iFrame.
