Links on wordpress.org/gutenberg don't open

[ben.greeley]

If you go to ​https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ and click on a link such as "Try Gutenberg Today in WordPress", it tries to load the linked page within the editor and then reloads the page. It should open the page outside of the editor. This seems to happen with all other links on the page.

Thanks for the report, @bengreeley!

Here are some additional details related to this issue:

• JS console inspection shows the error: Block validation: Block validation failed for 'core/button'.
• When not logged in to WordPress.org, editor API requests result in 401 (unauthorized).
• When logged in, editor API requests result in 403 (forbidden).

This is likely related to this Gutenberg change: ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/46212

I've temporarily set all the links to open in a new tab (​https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-gutenberg/commit/3e5bb1de6fc2dda297aaca68283fe72268862aca)

Hi @dufresnesteven

I checked all the links and all are opening in a new tab but except one. I attached the screenshot of that.

It's the link of Ma.tt and once clicked, it shows the link it was hyperlinked to. Then one have to click on the original link to navigate to the destination.

I don't know was it intentionally kept it that way or it's a bug.

It should be opening a new tab, definitely a bug.

HI @dufresnesteven

Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking the same. I hope this will be considered with the whole issue here.

I tried it with several PC to see if it's the same for everywhere and as it was the same, I thought to put a comment here.

They are currently opening in a new tab and as long as this page is coded this way (which isn't idea but was the only option at the time), I don't think the effort is worth it. I think ultimately this page will be replaced with Playground so for now I'll be closing this as wontfix as users can still navigate to their destination.
