No response from $block->isHidden()?

jonl · June 1, 2021, 10:38am

Hello,

I am trying to return all blocks, even those set to hidden, but it seems that toBlocks() only returns visible blocks. Is there a way to return all blocks regardless of whether or not they are hidden in the panel?

Thank you,

The toBlocks() method filters out the hidden blocks, so you would need a custom field method that does the same as toBlocks() but without filtering the hidden ones.
