Series Doesn’t Appear in New Post Editor Screen
-
Right now, it looks like you can’t add a post to a series in the 5.0 block editor. I suspect this is because of the register_taxonomy() call not setting show_in_rest to true, but I haven’t tested that yet.

The fix is easy. If someone can get ahold of the developer here’s what worked for me. (not heavily tested, but it appears to work.)
Gutenberg uses the REST API so Taxonomy’s must be registered with “show_in_rest => true”.
WP Post Series registers the post_series taxonomy on line 68 of wp-post-series.php..
If you add
‘show_in_rest’ => true,
above line 78 — ‘show_ui’ => true,
you should see the series metabox in Gutenberg.
Note: If you edit the file directly, plugin updates will wipe your changes. However, the plugin hasn’t been updated for 3 years, so it is unlikely that will happen. If you’re worried about it, the register_taxonomy() function can update existing post types as well, so you could fairly easily craft a function in functions.php that would be impervious to updates.
Developer, if you’re out there, thanks for this neat little plugin, hope you find the time to update it for Gutenberg.
