Toggle and Checkbox always initially false

@ryankienstra

Hi Ryan – I think that has done the trick. I see what you mean, that when creating the block, the default is now “false”, but that’s not the issue that I had.

My issue was when using the block. Although the default was “true”, and the UI was showing the Toggle / Checkbox controls as checked, they were passing “false” to the block.php handler.

I did have to delete and recreate the block with the updated plugin before it worked as expected, but that’s no big deal in my case.

Happy to do some more checks/diagnostics if that would help.

Hi @ryankienstra

All good, as far as I can see. I set up a block with two Checkboxes and two Toggles, with one of each defaulting “True” and the other “False”.

My block.php code runs like this:

<?php
echo 'Check false: ',block_field( 'check-false' ),'<br>';
echo 'Check true: ',block_field( 'check-true' ),'<br>';
echo 'Toggle false: ',block_field( 'toggle-false' ),'<br>';
echo 'Toggle true: ',block_field( 'toggle-true' ),'<br>';
echo 'Check false: ';var_dump(block_value( 'check-false' )); echo '<br>';
echo 'Check true: ';var_dump(block_value( 'check-true' )); echo '<br>';
echo 'Toggle false: ';var_dump(block_value( 'toggle-false' )); echo '<br>';
echo 'Toggle true: ';var_dump(block_value( 'toggle-true' )); echo '<br>';

I add the block to a page and click away, and see this (as expected):
Check false: No
Check true: Yes
Toggle false: No
Toggle true: Yes
Check false: bool(false)
Check true: bool(true)
Toggle false: bool(false)
Toggle true: bool(true)

I won’t use this pre-release version on the live site as yet though.
