Block Finder vs Bootstrap Blocks

Ever needed to track down where a specific block is being used? Block Finder adds a dashboard widget that searches your entire site for any core or custom block. Pick a block, click Search, and instantly see every place it appears — along with a count of how many times it’s used, whether it’s nested inside another block, and a direct link to edit that content. No more manually opening posts one by one hoping to find the right block. Block Finder does the searching so you don’t have to. Who is this for? Content editors and site managers — need to update every post that uses a specific call-to-action block? Wondering which pages are still using a block you’re about to change? Block Finder gives you the answer in seconds, with one-click access to edit each result. Developers and theme builders — auditing block usage across templates and template parts in the Site Editor, checking registered patterns, or running automated checks from the command line. Block Finder has you covered. Features Search your way: Type-ahead block picker powered by WordPress’s native Combobox — no hunting through a long list Search Posts, Patterns, Templates, and Template parts all from one form Filter by post type to narrow results, or search across everything at once Filter by post status — include drafts, pending, scheduled, and private content alongside published Understand what you find: See the total number of times a block appears in each piece of content InnerBlock detection shows how many of those instances are nested inside another block Source badges make it clear at a glance whether a result came from a post, a pattern, a template, or a template part Status badges surface non-published content so nothing gets missed Act on results quickly: Direct edit links open any result straight in the block editor or Site Editor Paginated results keep large result sets easy to browse Filter between all instances and nested-only with a single click For Developers and Theme Builders WP-CLI — run wp block-finder search from the command line. Supports --post-type, --post-status, --sources, and --format=table|json|csv|count|ids. Use --format=count in CI pipelines or --format=csv for export and audit reports. Template and template part search — find blocks inside Site Editor templates on any block theme. Both file-based and database-stored templates are included. Pattern search — covers user-saved synced patterns and every pattern registered by your theme or plugins via WP_Block_Patterns_Registry, not just the ones saved to the database. Developer hooks — extend or modify search behaviour without touching plugin code: block_finder_sources — add or remove sources before the search runs block_finder_results — modify the assembled result set before it is returned REST API — GET /wp-json/block-finder/v1/search is available for custom integrations. Requires edit_posts capability.

Bootstrap Gutenberg Blocks for WordPress. This plugin adds Bootstrap components and layout options as Gutenberg blocks.

Fluid Breakpoint: Used to enable responsive containers. This feature only works with Bootstrap v4.4+. The container will use 100% of the width until the specified breakpoint is reached, after which the defined max-widths will apply for each of the higher breakpoints. Margin After: Define a margin which should be added after the container. Row Options: Template: Choose from a predefined template for the inner column blocks.

CSS Grid Gutters: Size of gutters when CSS grid is used. Column Options: Sizes for all breakpoints (xxl, xl, lg, md, sm, xs): How much space the column should use for the given breakpoint. Equal width for all breakpoints (xxl, xl, lg, md, sm, xs): If enabled column will spread width evenly with other columns. Background Color: Set background color to column. Content vertical alignment: Align content vertically in column. This option is only needed if a background color is set. Otherwise use the Alignment option of the outer row block. Padding: Define padding inside the column. Button Options: Style: Choose the styling of the button. Open in new tab: Choose if link should be opened in a new tab. Rel: Set rel attribute of the link. Alignment: Horizontal alignment of the button. Supported Bootstrap versions This plugin supports Bootstrap v4 and v5. The version can be selected in the plugin settings (Settings > Bootstrap Blocks) or by defining the WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION constant in the wp-config.php file: Bootstrap 4: define( 'WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION', '4' ); Bootstrap 5 (default): define( 'WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_BOOTSTRAP_VERSION', '5' ); Possible values right now are '4' or '5'. By default Bootstrap version 5 is selected. CSS Grid The CSS grid (supported with Bootstrap >= 5.1.0) can be enabled in the plugin settings (Settings > Bootstrap Blocks) or by defining the WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_ENABLE_CSS_GRID constant in the wp-config.php file: eg. define( 'WP_BOOTSTRAP_BLOCKS_ENABLE_CSS_GRID', true ); When the CSS grid is enabled the row and the column blocks will use custom templates for the rendering process: Row: row-css.grid.php Column: column-css-grid.php The support is still experimental since it’s also marked as experimental in the Bootstarp library. Please read the official Bootstrap documentation to get more information on how to use it. Bootstrap library Please be aware that this plugin does not include the Bootstrap library in your website. You need to do this by yourself. We decided not to include the library so that you can modify Bootstrap to your own needs before loading it. You’ll find an example how to include it in your theme’s functions.php in the documentation. Templates All blocks are implemented as dynamic blocks. This makes it possible to overwrite the template of a block in your theme. To overwrite a block template create a folder called wp-bootstrap-blocks/ in your theme directory. You can copy the original template from wp-bootstrap-blocks/src/templates/ .php as a starting point and adjust it to your needs.
