Latest Posts Gutenberg Block not supporting args filter.

[martin7ba]

Shouldn't we add the filter for recent posts widget arguments in the Latest Posts Block?

<?php
$args = apply_filters(
                'widget_posts_args',
                $args
        );

I didn't find it in the core wp-includes/blocks/latest-posts.php

This breaks the functionality in my plugin for hiding posts in the Recent Posts Widget.

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

Moving this to the Editor component for more visibility, as it seems to be more related to the Latest Posts block than the Recent Posts widget.

Also noting that this needs to be fixed in the ​block-library package upstream and then backported to core. Could you create an issue or PR at ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg? Thanks!

Hi, thank you.

Well, the Latest Posts block is used as a Recent Widget in the Widgets Area now that the Widgets area was upgraded to use Gutenberg Blocks as widgets.

The changes need to be applied in the /wp-includes/blocks/latest-posts.php file.

I am still new to contributing to WP Core..once I read the how the PR are added on Git, I will try to create a PR there.

@SergeyBiryukov I mentioned this ticket and PR I had in the core-editor chat and they pointed out to me that all block related updates should be done in the Gutenberg repo.

Therefore I created new PR on the Gutenberg repo
