Summary

The classic editor wrapped the whole #titlediv (title field and the permalink/View box) in a post_type_supports( $post_type, 'title' ) check, so public post types without title support never showed their permalink. This keeps #titlediv always rendered and only gates #titlewrap (the title input) on title support. The permalink box, edit_form_before_permalink and the sample permalink nonce remain governed by the existing $viewable / public checks.

Notes

  • edit_form_before_permalink now also fires for post types without title support, matching its documented purpose.
  • Added a Playwright e2e test registering a title-less and a titled post type. The title-less test fails on trunk and passes with the change.
  • Props grosbouff (original patch) and SirLouen (testing).
