How Block Data Attribute works
Block Data Attribute lets you attach custom data-* attributes to core WordPress blocks straight from the block settings sidebar. No theme edits, no custom code, no block validation errors.
data-* attributes are a standard HTML mechanism for storing extra information on elements. They are widely used for JavaScript interactions, CSS targeting, analytics tagging, accessibility enhancements, and third-party integrations. This plugin brings that capability into the block editor in a clean, structured way.
Key Features
Add any number of data-* attributes to supported blocks.
Name and value fields with input sanitisation built in.
Drag-and-drop reordering of attributes within the sidebar panel.
Attributes are saved directly in block markup — no post meta, no database overhead.
Fully extensible: register additional allowed block types via a JavaScript filter.
No build step required — ships as a single plain JavaScript file.
Translation-ready.
Supported Blocks Out of the box the following core blocks support custom data attributes:
core/button
core/column
core/columns
core/group
core/heading
core/paragraph
