I'm new to Mage 2 but familiar with M1. This is a M2.1.1 site
I'm attempting to output a static block in the product description by entering short code in the wysiwsyg editor like so:
{{block class="Magento\\Cms\\Block\\Block" block_id="block_identifier"}}
Even entering it in non-wysiwyg mode results in the same output:
{{block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" block_id="block_identifier"}}
is outputted rather than the static block.
However, if I use a widget to render the static block, all is ok.
Am I missing something fundamental - do I need to assign permissions to static blocks like in M1? Or is it possible that the template is at fault?
ps - what happened to the add widget/block buttons on the wysiwyg editor??
