## Description

Enable or disable each Gutenberg block individually. By hiding unused options and
keeping only what you truly need, you can give your editors a clean, focused, and
easy-to-use experience.

**Features:**

 * Toggle ON/OFF for each block with checkboxes
 * List all registered blocks by category
 * “All ON” and “All OFF” buttons for each category
 * “Administrators are exempt from restrictions” option (for cases where administrator
   privileges are granted to the client)
 * Apply uniformly to the entire site
 * Japanese language support (translation file included)

#### Notes

 * This plugin is used only in the administration screen.
 * Only administrator users privileges can configure settings.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `16deza-block-curator` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate **16Deza Block Curator** from the WordPress admin Plugins screen
 3. Settings -> Block Curator: Configure the blocks to restrict

**Exempt administrator users from restrictions**
 Checking “Exempt administrators
from restrictions” allows users with `manage_options` privileges (administrators)
to use all blocks regardless of the settings. **If you have also granted administrator
privileges to clients, unchecking this box will enable block restrictions.**

### Enabling/Disabling Blocks

 * Checked (blue) = Enabled (displayed in the editor)
 * Unchecked (gray) = Disabled (hidden in the editor)
    By default, all are enabled.

## FAQ

### When is this effective ?

Having too many types of blocks that can be inserted (especially for users unfamiliar
with WordPress) can be confusing. The more options there are, the harder it becomes
to find what you need — a dilemma.
 If you are a web developer, you can improve 
usability for your clients by adjusting the settings to match their IT proficiency,
removing unnecessary options and leaving only the essential blocks. To give an analogy,
only a limited number of people can master a console that’s like an aircraft cockpit,
full of instruments and buttons, but a console like that in a private car is something
everyone can intuitively understand and use.

### All blocks are displayed in the edit screen even after configuration.

If you are an administrator user, please check if the “Exempt administrators from
restrictions” option at the top of the settings screen is checked.
