Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview

About this plugin

Genesis Custom Blocks provides WordPress developers with the tools they need to take control of the block-first reality of modern WordPress.

The WordPress block editor (AKA Gutenberg) opens up a whole new world for the way we build pages, posts, and websites with WordPress. Genesis Custom Blocks makes it easy to harness this and build custom blocks the way you want them to be built. Whether you want to implement a custom design, deliver unique functionality, or even remove your dependence on other plugins, Genesis Custom Blocks equips you with the tools you need to hit “Publish” sooner.

Take control of design – Implement beautiful, custom designs with fine-tuned front-end templating control.

Build unique functionality – Build blocks that function and behave exactly as you need.

Extend & Integrate – Easily extend your custom blocks to integrate with third-party apps and plugins.

Features

Block Fields

Simple Templating

Let the plugin do the heavy lifting so you can use the built-in editor, or familiar WordPress development practices to build block templates.
