Alright, a client has asked me to update their blog. They are still using classic editor for all their posts. They have over 1000+ posts currently. I have two objectives that I can’t seem to figure out.
Originally I was going to create a template and then mass apply this template, but it isn’t going to work the way I thought it would. Mainly, I have to manually reconvert all posts to block editor. My objective now is to have new posts automatically have spots for him to fill stuff in, and this can be achieved with PHP coding. However, I don’t know PHP and even if I learned it I don’t want to be responsible for code maintenance long term.
How can I pull off block templates without code, *and* without messing with previous post layouts.
TIA!

If you mean add new fields to posts then you can use Pods or ACF for this.
You can also
– Use a page builder to customise your single post template and apply it to all posts along with integrating the content from the ACF fields above. This won’t mess with the posts themselves.
– Make a child theme and make a new template for single posts. Requires coding knowledge.
Why do you need to change them? Classic is fine for a blog.
