Need custom WordPress blocks with fields tailored to their content? Genesis Custom Blocks lets developers define block fields in WordPress admin and use templates to control how that content appears. Genesis Pro adds six field types, block-level import and export, and 24/7 support.

Choose fields for each block

Genesis Pro adds Repeater, Taxonomy, Post, User, Rich Text, and Classic Text fields. Use a repeater for content groups that recur within a block, or connect block content to WordPress taxonomies, posts, and visitors. Rich Text and Classic Text provide various ways for editors to enter text.

Genesis Custom Blocks also includes Inner Blocks, File, Text, Image, URL, Toggle, Textarea, Select, Range, Radio, Number, Multi-select, Email, Color, and Checkbox fields. Together, these field options let you define the content editors can enter for reusable sections in pages, posts, and landing pages.

Control how block content appears

Build a block template with the built-in editor in WordPress admin or use familiar WordPress development practices. PHP functions can render and work with data saved through custom block fields, and PHP templates such as block-example.php remain an option. This gives developers control over a block's front-end styling and behavior while editors work with its defined fields.

Custom blocks can also be extended to integrate with third-party apps and plugins. Block-level import and export lets you move custom block configurations between relevant environments or projects.

What your WordPress website needs

Genesis Custom Blocks can be used independently; the Genesis Framework and other Genesis themes or plugins are not required. The WordPress block editor must be enabled. Genesis Pro includes 24/7 support and access to developer documentation covering setup, FAQs, block fields, and PHP functions.
