These preview options work on within the editor, so I think we should leave them as they are useful here.

I think adding the isPreviewingTheme() check here and appending the ?theme_preview URL query would work well to resolve #50712. I think #50713 can be addressed later as a separate PR. The View and Previewing the site links are legitimately useful as is, even if the preview link isn't (yet) appended to all links on the site when previewing.

I think the first comment by @jeryj is accurate, the mobile and tablet options work well no reason to hide those as well. I think though that hiding the menu group that opens a new tab is good untill we figure out a way to persist theme_preview while browsing the live website. |
I don't see how this could ever be possible |
|
Can we check:
Another way would be to add a filter for all content and block content if the theme preview param is there. Then append the GET param to all links that match the site url? |
I found a way here: #51412 |
|
I'm closing this PR since #51412 will come as a solution soon, and the interim solution (this PR) is unnecessary. Thank you for all your reviews. |
What?
Hide "View" when previewing a block theme.
Close: #50919
Why?
While we can show a preview on the front of the site with
?theme_previewURL query, I thought we better fix these issues (#50713, #50712) before adding the URL query to the link.So, I'm proposing to hide it until previewing the front of the site works well.
How?
