Is there any way to set the kind on a Gutenberg post?

[billbennettnz]

I started out writing a post as a Like, but I see it isn't listed in my Like archive (in fact all of the kinds I set up pre-Gutenberg now have empty archives). is there any workaround to fix the post as a Like? If not, are there plans to make the plug-in Gutenberg compatible, or would it be best to disable and remove the plug-in?

[dshanske]

There are plans. No current timetable for this. I am looking for someone to help me figure out how to make this fit into a block paradigm.

[billbennettnz]

Ah... I'd help if I could, but the last code I wrote was Fortran.

@dshanske the challenge I see with blocks is that a user can add any number of blocks, of different kinds. How would it be determined which Post-Kind (supposing more than one, and of different kinds) would represent the whole post?

@mediaformat There is a concept called Post Type Discovery that would work to address that. However, I have not been able to crack it. I have some other preparations I've been pursuing.

Very interesting, I wasn't aware of Post Type Discovery

By using the Classic Editor plugin, you can switch back and forth between the two editors while editing a post. I believe this should make it possible to change the post kind (in the classic editor) and then continue editing in Gutenberg.
