Overview
Gutenberg's default blocks cover the basics, but many sites need more: testimonial sliders, countdown timers, contact forms or a list of posts filtered by category. PublishPress Blocks Pro adds these as ready-made blocks you place and adjust right in the editor. Beginners can build layouts by choosing options, and experienced users get detailed styling controls.
The plugin also helps teams manage how blocks are used. You can limit certain blocks to certain user roles, schedule when a block appears or disappears, and create custom CSS styles that editors apply with one click. That keeps a site consistent when several people write and edit content. It suits blogs, news sites, portfolios and WooCommerce stores.
Features
- Content display block: Show posts, pages and custom post types in customizable layouts, with filtering by author, category or tag. Pro settings let you reorder content sections and adjust read more links and featured images.
- Role-based block permissions: Decide which user roles can use specific blocks, so editors and contributors only see the tools you want them to have. This helps keep editorial work consistent.
- Scheduling and visibility controls: Set when a block appears or disappears, and control its visibility by user role, page type or term archive, so content shows at the right time to the right people.
- Responsive column layouts: Pick from 23 column layout options built for desktop, tablet and mobile, which lets you arrange page structures that adapt to different screen sizes.
- Custom block styles: Create your own CSS styles and assign them to blocks. Content editors can then apply your design standards from the editor without touching any code.
- WooCommerce products block: Display latest or featured WooCommerce products with customizable filters and column layouts, which is handy for stores that want product lists inside regular pages and posts.
- Forms and login blocks: Add contact and newsletter forms with reCAPTCHA spam protection, email capture and CSV export. Login and registration forms support custom redirect URLs and design options.
- Accordions, buttons and countdowns: Build accordions with anchor links to open sections, buttons using over 1,400 Google Fonts and icons, and countdown timers with custom fonts, labels, colors and images.
Best for
- WordPress site owners who build pages in Gutenberg
- Editorial teams that need block permissions and scheduling
- WooCommerce stores showing products inside content pages
