What it does
The default block editor covers the basics, but many sites need more: post grids, accordions, testimonials, countdowns, forms and maps. Without a block plugin, that often means custom code or a mix of single-purpose add-ons. This plugin puts those layouts inside Gutenberg as ready blocks, with settings for fonts, colors, columns and filters, so you can build pages without writing code. It includes 23 responsive column layouts that adapt to desktop, tablet and mobile.
The management side matters just as much for teams. You can limit which user roles can access specific blocks, schedule blocks to show or hide at set times, and control visibility by role, page type or term archive. Site owners can also create custom CSS styles and assign them to blocks, which lets editors apply your design standards consistently. It suits blogs, news sites, portfolios, business sites and WooCommerce stores.
Best for
- Blogs and news sites that need flexible post layouts
- Editorial teams that want control over block access
- WooCommerce stores that display products within page content

Questions about PublishPress Blocks Pro
Do I need WooCommerce to use this plugin?
No. Most blocks, such as the content display, forms, accordions, maps and countdowns, work on any WordPress site. WooCommerce is only relevant if you want to use the WooCommerce products block to show your latest or featured products.
Can I stop certain users from using some blocks?
Yes. Role-based block permissions let you decide which user roles can access specific blocks. This helps keep editors and contributors working with an approved set of tools and keeps your content consistent.
Can blocks be shown only at certain times?
Yes. You can schedule blocks to appear or disappear, and you can also control their visibility based on user roles, page types or term archives. That is handy for time-limited notices or role-specific content.
What kinds of forms can I build?
You can create contact forms and newsletter sign-up forms with reCAPTCHA spam protection and email capture, and export entries as CSV. There is also a login and registration block with custom redirect options.
