What problem does this address?
Currently a theme requires a
block-templates/index.html
file to enable the Site Editor UI (which makes sense). However, if a child theme of the block based theme does not have an index.html file, it is opted-out of the experience. This means that child themes will have to duplicate index.html files just to be opted into the Site Editor (which isn't ideal if a child theme does not change the index blogroll view).What should occur?
A parent theme's
block-templates/index.html
file should be available within child themes, which means child themes of Site Editor capable themes can use the Site Editor without having to duplicate that index file.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
