Giving this issue a bump as well as describing some additional issues I’m having with reusable blocks since the update…

Like many here, several (but not all of my reusable blocks) are now displaying “block cannot be rendered inside itself”. When I open a post to edit, sometimes the reusable blocks will display as they should. Then randomly change to “block cannot be rendered” or just disappear altogether leaving an empty + box in its place.

I’ve tried updating the blocks in the manage reusable blocks menu to “rebuild them”. This fix works for about 5 minutes and then back to “block cannot be rendered” it goes.
During this work around, I’ve also noticed some of the content in the reusable blocks are completely gone. I’ve had to rebuild these also (using an internet archive tool to see old versions of my pages).

Something else that appears broken is the ability to add certain reusable blocks to groups. It seems like if the reusable blocks had a group itself, it can no longer be added to a group but I’m not certain on that. Just seems to be the case with my blocks.

These are just the issues I’ve run into in the last 24 hours since updating. I waited months to update for a fear the update would break something. I was right.

I really hope the WP development team reads these threads and are working on a solution. There wasn’t an issue with reusable blocks in the first place, so I just don’t understand why they even messed with it in the first place. Every update provides more problems than solutions. Judging by the age of this thread, the update has been out for more than 2 months and no patch fix.

Disappointing yet somehow, not surprising.
