List of basic blocks

Joshua Hackett edited this page Jun 17, 2018 · 4 revisions

Wordpress now comes with a range of modular content blocks, useful for creating structured content beyond simple text and images.

Here are some of the most useful.

The site also comes with custom, branded blocks.

Headings

Make your content more readable by creating a hierarchy with headings.

Spacer

Insert arbitrary spacing between other components. Useful for fine-tuning the separation between grid elements, headings and similar.

Columns

Lay other blocks out into custom grids of two or more columns.

Not all content is compatible with a multiple-column layout.

Shortcode

Some classic Wordpress plugins work with shortcodes. You can bridge the gap and make use of those older plugins using this block.

For example, Gravity Forms are traditionally added using a shortcode.
