Overview

The default Gutenberg editor covers the basics, but page layouts often call for more specialized blocks, and the block inserter can fill up with tools you never touch. Ocean Gutenberg Blocks addresses both. It adds a collection of custom blocks for content layout and design, and it gives you control over which Gutenberg blocks stay available while you edit.

The plugin also adds modal functionality. You can insert rich content inside a modal with a shortcode and place it anywhere in your content, which suits pop-ups, lightboxes and other interactive elements. Because it is built for the OceanWP theme ecosystem, the blocks and modal content follow the theme's styling, so pages stay consistent without extra coding.

Features

  • Custom Gutenberg blocks: A collection of specialized blocks adds layout and design options to the Gutenberg editor, built to fit within the OceanWP theme.
  • Modal content via shortcode: Insert rich content inside a modal using a shortcode, which works for pop-ups, lightboxes and interactive elements without needing another plugin.
  • Flexible shortcode placement: Customizable shortcodes let you embed modal windows wherever they fit in your content, so you choose where each one appears.
  • Disable unused blocks: Turn off specific Gutenberg blocks you do not need. This reduces clutter in the editor and keeps the tools you actually use in front of you.
  • Built for OceanWP: The plugin works within the OceanWP ecosystem, so blocks and modal content keep consistent styling and theme support.
  • Cleaner editing screen: Removing unneeded blocks and adding extra functionality gives you a more focused Gutenberg interface for building pages.
  • Responsive display: Blocks and modal content are designed to adapt to different screen sizes, so they display properly on all devices.
  • Block assets load when needed: Scripts and styles for individual blocks load on the frontend only when those blocks are used on a page.

Best for

  • OceanWP site owners who build pages in Gutenberg
  • Bloggers and businesses wanting pop-ups and lightboxes
  • Developers customizing sites within the OceanWP theme
