Make repeatable posts compatible with Gutenberg.

[thewebprincess]

The new block editor is now in core and the interface by which one interacts with a repeating post (to pause, alter or delete it) is not visible in the post sidebar. Basically it's non-obvious as to how to alter an existing repeating post.

I'm currently assuming that deleting the next post that's due to repeat is sufficient, but that isn't clear.

@thewebprincess could you post a screenshot of where you'd expect the Repeating Post options to appear please?

This screenshot is from the latest, scheduled repeating post in the post view:

If I click into that post to edit it I'd expect there to be an option in the sidebar that a, indicates that this is a repeating, scheduled post, and b, gives you an option to alter it. Actually, as it is, to alter it you have to find the original post (I think it's this one https://updates.hmn.md/wp-admin/post.php?post=11645&action=edit and also then, with the new interface, there's no interaction available to edit it.

Finally, to make any new post a repeating one, I can't see an interface to be able to do that.

@thewebprincess thank you! Apologies for not following up earlier, I'm watching the repo now, so should be getting a better notifications on this.

I'll have some time this December and planning to look at it.

This is affecting the new weekly-updates P2 so I'm working on getting this into gutenberg.

The code i've been working on can be found at https://github.com/humanmade/repeatable-posts/pull/43 .

It currently renders the following screenshot which shows what happens when you click on the repeatable-post state.

The aim is to make something similar to the visibility UI for consistancy.
