Comment:
`edit_form_after_title` is a classic editor PHP hook that fires within the
post editing form rendered by `edit-form-advanced.php`. The Block Editor
(Gutenberg) replaces that PHP-rendered form with a React-based JavaScript
UI, so classic editor hooks like this one are not expected to fire.
This appears to be intended behavior rather than a bug. For extending the
Block Editor, the recommended approach is to use the Block Editor's own
extensibility APIs such as [SlotFills](https://developer.wordpress.org
/block-editor/reference-guides/slotfills/) (e.g., `PluginPostStatusInfo`,
`PluginDocumentSettingPanel`).
Changing type from **defect** to **enhancement**. Needs dev feedback on
whether providing a Block Editor equivalent for this hook is something
worth pursuing.
