Blocks – Reusable Content, Shortcodes & Site Variables
Blocks creates reusable content blocks, global content shortcodes, and site variables for WordPress. Create content once, insert it with a shortcode in pages, posts, widgets, or page builders, and update every placement by editing the source block. Use site variables for values such as a phone number, support email, address, price, site title, or current year. Update the variable once as a token like {{blocks:phone}} and every enabled placement displays the new value. Blocks also supports import and export for moving reusable content and variables between sites as a single JSON file. Blocks is focused on reusable site-wide content, not on providing another decorative Gutenberg block collection. Because a block renders through a plain shortcode, the same content follows you across theme changes and builder migrations. Full documentation, examples, and release notes live in the Blocks guide. Reusable Content Blocks and Global Shortcodes Create reusable content once: manage a source block and display it in multiple locations. Insert content with a shortcode: use a shortcode such as [block id="42"] in posts, pages, widgets, templates, and builders. Update every placement: edit the source block instead of changing repeated content one page at a time. Define site variables: reuse values such as phone numbers, email addresses, prices, and the current year. Built-in tokens for your site info: {{blocks:phone}}, {{blocks:email}}, {{blocks:address}}, {{blocks:year}}, {{blocks:site_title}}, and more; the blocks: prefix means tokens never collide with other plugins. Resolve variables everywhere (optional): tokens also work typed directly into regular content, widgets, and page-builder text. Work across editors and builders: ships integrations for Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Oxygen, Breakdance, Zion, Thrive, and Fusion (Avada). Import and export: move blocks and variables between sites using a single JSON file. Organize reusable content: use categories and tags for larger content libraries. Blocks is one of our free WordPress plugins. Browse the full plugin collection.

Content Blocks (Custom Post Widget)
The Content Blocks allows you to display the contents of a specific custom post in a widget on in the content area using a shortcode. Even though you could use the text widget that comes with the default WordPress install, this plugin has some major benefits: The Content Blocks plugin enables users to use the WYSIWYG editor for editing the content and adding images. If you are using the standard WordPress text widgets to display content on various areas of your template, this content can only be edited by users with administrator access. If you would like non-administrator accounts to modify the widget content, you can use this plugin to provide them access to the custom posts that provide the content for the widget areas. You can even use the featured image functionality to display them in a widget. The Content Blocks plugin is compatible with the WPML Multi-Language plugin and automatically shows the correct language in the widget area. The Content Blocks can be included in posts and pages using the built-in shortcode functionality. This plugin creates a ‘content_block’ custom post type. You can choose to either display the title on the page or use it to describe the contents and widget position of the content block. Note that these content blocks can only be displayed in the context of the page. I have added ‘public’ => false to the custom post type which means that it is not accessible outside the page context. To add content to a widget, drag it to the required position in the sidebar and select the title of the custom post in the widget configuration.
