$can_edit = true;
}
return $can_edit;
}
add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post_type', 'activate_gutenberg_product', 10, 2 );
// enable taxonomy fields for woocommerce with gutenberg on
function enable_taxonomy_rest( $args ) {
$args['show_in_rest'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_taxonomy_args_product_cat', 'enable_taxonomy_rest' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_taxonomy_args_product_tag', 'enable_taxonomy_rest' );
