@fabiankaegy, which bundled theme are you using for testing? |
|
@Mamaduka I'm using 2024 (a block theme but logged in as a user with a role lower than admin) |
|
@draganescu Yes and no, even if this check were to check for See #58301 for more details on the actual long term fix I would like to land instead of this "hotfix" here |

Thank you, @fabiankaegy!
The changes test well for me, and I think it is a cute short-term fix.
Like you said a better solution would be introducing proper capabilities for templates and utilizing them in the editors.

What?
Make it possible for non administrators to switch between templates again.
Closing: #58037
This fix is an alternative approach to #58301. #58301 tries to solve it whilst still retaining the ability for editors to preview the template in the editor where as this PR here only restores the old behavior.
I personally would very much preffer #58301 since I think the template preview is a very valuable feature that editors should have access to. But as far as 6.5 goes this here may be the stop gap solution we need.
Why?
Because a regression was introduced in #56817
How?
By checking if the current user can view the templates post type and if not rendering the classic control.
