Editor Styles Not Loading in Correct Sequence for Blocks

[susanwrotethis]

In the block editor, styles loaded by WP core are overriding those from editor-style.css in a custom theme I'm building, causing particular display issues with line heights and margins for header blocks.

It appears as though this is due to an error at line 190 of edit-form-blocks.php, the file that sets up $editor_settings. The line:

if ( $editor_styles && current_theme_supports( 'editor-styles' ) ) {

The current_theme_supports check should be for 'editor-style' rather than 'editor-styles'. As a result, styles from editor-style.css are being skipped.

(Some earlier sequence is loading the styles from editor-style.css, so they do exist in the block editor. However, the WP core styles loaded in edit-form-blocks.php are overriding them.)

Hi @susanwrotethis and thanks for opening the ticket!

Please confirm whether you have both of these:

add_theme_support( 'editor-styles' );
add_editor_style();

​A similar report is on GitHub regarding the documentation for add_theme_support plus add_editor_style with the block editor. The theme support function is supposed to include editor-styles, and add_editor_style does not have the s.

• ​block editor documentation for both these functions
• ​add_editor_style documentation

Thank you for reporting this. However, after reviewing it now, I tend to agree with the last comment that this is most likely not a default setting, but rather an implementation issue.

As no other information is available, I will move this to closed for now, but we can always reconsider its status at a later point.
