FAQ

In your selected block’s inspector controls (Block settings) scroll all the way to the bottom and click on “Advanced”. It should contain a section called “Additional attributes”.
Type an attribute name into the “Add attribute” field and press “Add” to add an attribute for the block. A new input with the attribute’s name should appear below, into which you can optionally insert the attribute value.
Example attributes: style, title, target, class, id, onclick, data-*, aria-*.

The afb_unsupported_blocks filter can be used in your child theme’s functions.php file to disable block support for adding additional attributes.

add_filter('afb_unsupported_blocks', function($blocks) {     $blocks[] = 'core/button';     return $blocks; });

You can modify which roles have the unfiltered_html capability using custom code in your theme’s functions.php file or via a custom plugin. Only grant this capability if you trust the current and future users of that role to not do anything malicious.

add_action('init', function() {     if($role = get_role('contributor')) {         $role->add_cap('unfiltered_html');     } });
