What can you build in the block editor?

PublishPress Blocks Pro extends the WordPress block editor with extra blocks and tools for managing how editors work and how content appears. Block Permissions control which user roles can use selected blocks, including default WordPress blocks. Block Controls set when and under what conditions a block is visible to users.

Pro blocks and the wider collection

The Pro edition adds a Countdown block for an event or scheduled occasion, a Feature List block for items included with a product or service, and a Pricing Table block for purchase or subscription settings. It also adds Google Fonts support to selected core Gutenberg blocks, including paragraph and heading blocks.

The wider PublishPress Blocks collection includes more than 20 extra blocks, such as accordions, galleries, sliders, tabs, maps, tables, recent posts, buttons, columns, contact forms, images, and videos. The WooCommerce product block has Grid and Slider views.

How can you arrange posts and control visibility?

Use the Content Display block for blog layouts, author-specific post lists, or newspaper-style front pages. Choose Grid, Frontpage, List, Newspaper, Masonry, or Slider layouts, then filter content by author, category, or tag. Layouts can display details such as posted and updated dates, images, authors, excerpts, intro text, and comments.

Block Controls can use user roles, dates and times, device type or screen width, day of the week, browser, operating system, cookies, user or post data, query strings, capabilities, term archives, and specific pages as visibility conditions.

How do publishing tools fit into the process?

Block Styles lets you define CSS styles that editors can apply to blocks. Block Usage scans posts to find where blocks appear. Reusable Blocks offers a central place to access and edit reusable content, while Auto-Insert Blocks can place blocks in posts according to position, categories, tags, or other criteria.

To use the extension, install it on a WordPress website, open a post or page in the block editor, add a block, and configure its content and settings. Use the management screens to review reusable blocks, scan block usage, define styles, and set automatic insertion options. PublishPress Blocks Pro is the upgrade to the free PublishPress Blocks extension and includes additional capabilities and faster support.
