About this plugin
PostExtra is a Gutenberg blocks plugin built for magazine, news, and blog sites that want high‑engagement post layouts without a page builder or complex theme.
Instead of wrestling with generic blocks, you get ready‑made “magazine section” blocks that turn your homepage, archive, or landing pages into a professional editorial layout in minutes.
If you publish content regularly (bloggers, publishers, niche site owners, agencies), PostExtra helps you:
– Highlight your most important stories with featured grids and carousels.
– Keep readers clicking with smart post lists, sidebars, and section layouts.
– Build consistent, branded layouts using Full Site Editing templates and archive blocks.
PostExtra works with any modern theme, supports Full Site Editing, and is optimized for performance so your magazine pages remain fast, responsive, and SEO‑friendly.
