Lazy Blocks Pro extends Lazy Blocks, a visual builder for custom blocks in the WordPress editor. Configure the fields editors use, then choose how each block’s content is rendered. Controls can also create custom meta fields for selected post types.

Build a block from fields to output

1. Set the block’s name, icon, and category.
2. Add the controls the block needs.
3. Choose an output method: custom HTML, PHP, Handlebars, or a template file in the theme folder.
4. Preview the block in the editor.

Export and import block configurations to reuse them.

Connect controls to site content

Pro includes controls for selecting related content and entering structured values:

• Posts searches for posts by post type or taxonomy.
• Taxonomy searches categories, tags, and other custom taxonomies.
• Users searches for users by role.
• Units adds a number input with CSS unit choices.
• Message displays helpful information between controls.
• Code Editor inserts code parts with syntax highlighting.

Keep the editing panel focused

Control conditions display or hide fields based on values in other controls. Panels and dividers group controls in the block panel, helping editors navigate longer forms.

Styles & Scripts lets you add custom CSS and JavaScript to individual blocks. Define styles for the editor and frontend, and scripts for interactive frontend behavior. Assets load only when needed. Blocks Preloading displays block previews as soon as the page editor loads.

Use integrations and developer hooks

SEO enhancements support content analysis in Rank Math and Yoast SEO. Lazy Blocks’ text controls are compatible with WPML and ready for translation. PHP filters and actions let developers tailor parts of custom blocks from the backend.

The older Templates capability can still work on existing websites, but it is deprecated for future use. For new site templates, use WordPress’s native FSE Template Editor.
