This PR partially reverts https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/59968 by removing the warning notice and early return in WP_Theme::is_block_theme(), which causes issues if active plugins call wp_is_block_theme() early. It's safe for plugins to call wp_is_block_theme() anytime so the early return and notice should be removed.

  • wp_is_block_theme doesn't need to be called after after_theme_setup, it just needs to be called after theme directories have been registered.
  • The initial issue with the child theme is caused by calling that function after creating post types, which is before the theme directories registration.
  • Moving that logic to after_theme_setup, as we did in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/59968, is enough to solve the issue.
  • Plugins can never break the theme resolution because they are loaded after theme directories registration.

Absolutely agree. This is filling up my logs and not sure it's even effecting function as I'm sure it's used in a plugin.
