    When creating a new custom post type, I can check the things I want enabled, like “comments”, “editor”, “title”, etc.

    How do I enable the standard (nowadays) Gutenberg editor?

    I want to use custom blocks within the Gutenberg editor inside my newly created custom post types via ACF Extended.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback!

    You have to enable the show_in_rest setting in your Custom Post Type in order to enable the Gutenberg support. As explained in the register_post_type() documentation:

    show_in_rest
    (boolean) (optional) Whether to expose this post type in the REST API. Must be true to enable the Gutenberg editor.

    Default: false

    Hope it helps!

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.
