Access Listing Links in the WP Block Editor (Gutenberg)

If you care about website performance and easier administration, I recommend using a code snippet plugin like WPCodeBox (or similar) for adding code to your website.

Instructions

Create a new PHP code snippet.
Copy the contents of code snippet below.
Paste the contents into your code snippet.
Review any notes that I’ve provided.
Save and enable the code snippet.
Test.

Snippet

By default, when using the WP Block Editor (Gutenberg), you can’t reference and link to listings, and this snippet fixes that.

<?php 

add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', function( $args, $post_type ) {
    if ( 'job_listing' === $post_type ) {
        $args['show_in_rest']        = true;
        $args['rest_controller_class'] = 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller';
        $args['exclude_from_search'] = false;
    }
    return $args;
}, 10, 2 );

<?php 

add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', function( $args, $post_type ) {
    if ( 'job_listing' === $post_type ) {
        $args['show_in_rest']        = true;
        $args['rest_controller_class'] = 'WP_REST_Posts_Controller';
        $args['exclude_from_search'] = false;
    }
    return $args;
}, 10, 2 );
