Custom block not showing in "insert block" list

    Hello and thanks for the support.

    The custom blocks I’ve defined in my plugin stopped showing in the “insert block” menu. The code has worked before but no longer showing after WordPress update.

    The custom block (called hmslhf/hmslhf-accblock-script) is defined exactly as described in the Gutenberg handbook: a function in the plugin index.PHP file using wp_enqueue_script and register_block_type, and the corresponding JavaScript methods registerBlockType in the respective JavaScript file (called accblock.js).

    There is no visible reason for the custom block to not show in the insert block menu in new site pages. The debugger shows that the PHP functions run without errors. Chrome’s inspect list of sources shows that the JS source file is loaded without errors. Yet there’s no way I can insert the custom block to new pages.

    I enclose the code below but the code has worked before. What could be the reason for not showing the custom block? Could WP version 5.6 fail to show custom blocks?

    Ruling out the following problems:

      The custom block’s category was changed from ‘common’ to ‘TEXT’ and to an empty string

    • A new WordPress page was created and reloaded several times immediately after loading the plugin

      • Your advice would be most appreciated.
