# JPKCom Enable Block Editor — Guide & Tips > Enable the Block Editor specifically for the admin (user ID 1) — JPKCom Enable Block Editor as a Blockstudio companion: installation, requirements and tips. Source: https://www.jpkc.com/db/en/guides/jpkcom-enable-block-editor/ JPKCom Enable Block Editor enables the Block Editor (Gutenberg) specifically for the admin with user ID 1. The plugin complements Blockstudio and uses its users filter. ## Guide ### Requirements - WordPress **6.9** or newer (tested up to WordPress 7.0) - PHP **8.3** or newer - [Blockstudio](https://blockstudio.dev/) must be installed and active (`Requires Plugins: blockstudio`) ### Installation 1. In your admin panel, go to **Plugins → Add New** and click **Upload Plugin**. 2. Choose the plugin's ZIP file and click **Install Now**. 3. Make sure the **Blockstudio** plugin is active. 4. Click **Activate**. ### How it works Once active, the plugin enables the Block Editor for the admin with user ID 1. It does so via the Blockstudio users filter — see the [Blockstudio documentation on users settings](https://blockstudio.dev/documentation/settings/#users) for details. ## Tips & Tricks - **Targeted at a single account:** The plugin specifically addresses user ID 1 (the first admin account). This lets you enable the Block Editor for that account while Blockstudio governs the rest of the editor experience. - **Mind the order:** Blockstudio must be active for the plugin to take effect (hence `Requires Plugins: blockstudio`). - **Reproducible updates:** Since version 2.0.3 the plugin uses secure self-hosted updates via GitHub with SHA256 checksums and runs with `declare(strict_types=1)`. ## Further reading - Source code on GitHub: - API documentation (PHPDoc): - Background: [Blockstudio — users settings](https://blockstudio.dev/documentation/settings/#users) - [This project's changelog](https://www.jpkc.com/db/en/changelog/jpkcom-enable-block-editor/)
