Last 5 releases mentioning Gutenberg

• 7.2.3 Jun 6, 2026
  • New Gutenberg blocks injected with mode:append could be invisible in the block editor even though they were saved. complexify_blocks() used an agent-supplied simplified content field verbatim as a block's innerHTML, so a
• 7.1.4 Jun 4, 2026
  • Nested Gutenberg blocks were dropped when updating or appending. A group, columns/column, or any container block round-tripped through the block simplifier came back as an empty wrapper, silently discarding every nested
• 7.0.59 May 27, 2026
  • Gutenberg update_element with {content: "..."} now persists to post_content. The universal interface wrapped any flat patch missing a "structural" key into the adapter's attrs bucket. For Gutenberg that meant {content: "
• 7.0.54 May 23, 2026
  • Gutenberg is_builder_used() disqualifier checks values, not just key presence. Each "other-builder" meta key now carries a predicate matching the source builder's own activity convention:
  • Verified the failure mode against M.P.'s exact scenario: a post duplicated from an original that has _et_pb_use_builder=off will, pre-v7.0.54, fall through Gutenberg's claim check despite Gutenberg being the only sensibl
• 7.0.53 May 23, 2026
  • Gutenberg inject_content now guards the write against third-party save_post reverts AND verifies persistence. The customer report: 9 successive duplicates (340148, 340151, 340153, 340155, 340157, 340159, 340161, 340163,

Tools

Gutenberg uses the universal toolset

Gutenberg edits run through Respira's universal tools: respira_find_element, respira_update_element, respira_update_page (for full-page replacement only), respira_get_snapshot, and respira_create_page_duplicate. See the complete tool catalog.

Example prompts

Three prompts you can paste right now

Each one assumes Respira is connected to your WordPress site through the MCP server below. Copy a prompt, paste into your MCP client, run.

For every post in the "campaign-q3" category, find the first heading block and replace its content with "Ship faster, ship calmer." Snapshot each one before the change.

Read the HTML at https://drive.example.com/post.html and convert it to native Gutenberg blocks (paragraph, heading, list, image). Create a new draft post titled "Q3 product update".

List every image block on every published post or page where the alt attribute is empty. Group by post title.

Setup

Connect Respira's MCP server

Drop this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf — any MCP-compatible client). Generate an API key from your Respira dashboard first.
