 * The most recent work on this was undertaken in [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/67367](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/67367)
   which has not yet been released in the Gutenberg Plugin.
 * That change would prioritise exact search matches which could in theory lead 
   to Attachments being prioritised over Posts (for example).
 * We could weight slightly towards Posts in general search.
 * I have raised an Issue and we can discuss there

 * Hi [@annettepixie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/annettepixie/)
 * Apologies for lack of response.
 * I think perhaps what you might like to explore is the [`rest_{$this->taxonomy}_query` filter](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/rest_this-taxonomy_query/)
   which “Filters get_terms() arguments when querying terms via the REST API”.
 * [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.9/src/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-terms-controller.php#L265](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.9/src/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-terms-controller.php#L265)
 * You could modify the query to use [the `exclude` parameter](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.9/src/wp-includes/rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-terms-controller.php#L193)
   to remove the various categories you don’t wish to retrieve.
 * I haven’t tested this but it should be a good start for removing some of the 
   category checkboxes.

 * Hi [@realgirlreview](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realgirlreview/)
 * Sorry to hear you experienced these issues.
 * As you are probably aware the Gutenberg Plugin is less stable than the version
   of Gutenberg bundled with WP Core.
 * I would advise upgrading to the latest Gutenberg version and seeing if that’s
   resolved the issue.
 * What I would say is that the error message mentions your Plugin Google Analytics
   for WordPress. I would suggest getting in touch with them directly and checking
   whether they are supporting the Gutenberg Plugin.
 * I hope that helps?
 * Many thanks

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for your question. It’s great you’re getting into building a custom block.
 * I would recommend taking the [block building course from Learn.WordPress](https://learn.wordpress.org/workshop/intro-to-gutenberg-block-development/).
 * I’m not aware of any tutorials covering this specifically. However there are 
   a number of components that handle Media:
 * [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/trunk/packages/block-editor/src/components/media-replace-flow](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/trunk/packages/block-editor/src/components/media-replace-flow)

 * [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/trunk/packages/block-editor/src/components/media-upload](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/trunk/packages/block-editor/src/components/media-upload)
 * I would also take a look at the [gallery block source cod](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/82d87ff38c000e877ce5df11771730291898d47a/packages/block-library/src/gallery/edit.js#L449)
   e to see if there are any clues there.
 * I will also reach out to a few folks I know to see if they have any further resources.

 * Hi [@benik67](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benik67/)
 * Thanks for reporting this.
 * Based on the message you’ve provided this is coming from the Freemius Plugin 
   and not Gutenberg specifically.
 * I couldn’t find [the Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/Freemius/) 
   but I think it’s some kind of WordPress eCommerce solution?
 * Either way I would encourage you to get in touch with them for support on this
   matter.
 * Many thanks

   [requisite information](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-see-pictures-on-homepage/#post-15294252)

   whether or not this is a bug?

 * Ah I noticed you have Twenty Twenty-One (twentytwentyone) as your active Theme.
   TT1 is a classic Theme.
 * Perhaps try Twenty Twenty Two (2022) which is the new default Theme which is 
   a block based Theme.

 * I understand that you are asking whether the (Site) Editor is only available 
   for editing when the site is running locally on a computer rather than on a host?
 * I can say that the Site Editor will be available in any standard WordPress installation
   _when using a block Theme_. There have been edge cases recently whereby Themes
   weren’t being recognised as block Themes so if you’ve encountered one of these
   then please do let us know.

 * Hi [@mariej](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariej/)
 * Thank you for your post. Allow me to try and assist you.
 * These messages were added to be displayed to users without sufficient permissions
   when they try to create/update the Navigation. This is inline with the way Menus
   work in classic WordPress where Admin users are the only ones who can access 
   these screens.
 * That said, I recognise you say you are the only Admin on your site. Can you confirm
   you are of [User Role “Admin”](https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/#administrator)?
 * Are you able to provide a list of Plugins you may have active?
 * Many thanks for your time.
