Spectra Blocks is a complete rebuild of Spectra on WordPress’s modern core-block APIs – an AI website builder built directly into the Block Editor. Describe the page you want. Zip AI, our AI companion plugin, generates a complete first draft using Spectra blocks right inside the Block Editor. You install and connect it in a couple of clicks from the AI area in the Spectra Blocks dashboard. From there, you edit everything the normal way – no separate builder, no proprietary layout system, no plugin you have to keep forever just to keep your site working. That’s the whole idea: get the speed of an AI builder without giving up the editor WordPress already gives you. If you’re already using the original Spectra plugin, it hasn’t gone anywhere – it’s now called Spectra Legacy, and it keeps working and keeps getting maintenance updates. Spectra Blocks is a separate, new plugin. You move to it whenever it makes sense, not because you have to. What you can do with it Generate a full page from a text prompt Generate individual sections (hero, pricing, FAQ, testimonials, etc.) instead of a whole page Rewrite or improve copy on an existing page Convert an existing HTML page into native Spectra blocks Fine-tune every block afterward using the native block editor — colors, spacing, typography, layout Why Spectra Blocks Rebuilt on core, not built around it. Spectra Legacy was one of the first block plugins ever built – before many of today’s WordPress APIs existed, so it had to build a lot of that groundwork itself. Spectra Blocks takes the opposite approach: it’s built directly on WordPress’s modern core-block APIs, so it naturally stays in step with WordPress as the platform evolves. AI where it actually helps. Zip AI removes the blank-page problem. You still make the final call on every layout, section, and line of copy – the AI gets you a strong starting point, not a locked-in template. Composable, not bloated. Instead of dozens of single-purpose blocks, Spectra Blocks gives you a smaller set of flexible blocks plus Extensions that add advanced design controls on top of them. Fewer moving parts, less to maintain, more design freedom. Native by design. Everything is built and edited in the WordPress Block Editor, and your content is stored as standard block markup: no shortcodes, no proprietary page format, no separate interface to learn. Key Features AI page generation – describe a page, get a full first draft in native blocks AI section generation – generate individual sections instead of full pages AI content rewriting – improve or rewrite existing copy in place HTML-to-blocks conversion – turn an existing HTML page into native Spectra blocks Extensions – advanced spacing, border, shadow, and responsive controls for Spectra blocks Container block – build any custom layout by nesting core, Spectra, or third-party blocks inside it Design Library – ready-made patterns (info boxes, testimonials, pricing tables, comparisons, and more) built entirely from Spectra blocks, so you’re not starting from scratch Global Styles – set colors, typography, and spacing once, apply them site-wide Popup Builder – build popups using the same native blocks Animations – fade, slide, zoom, flip, and more, applied directly to blocks Build with Zip AI Zip AI is the AI companion for Spectra Blocks, and it’s how most people will start a page. You install and connect it from the AI area in the Spectra Blocks dashboard, then generate right inside the editor. Here’s what it actually does: Full-page generation – give it a prompt, get a complete page draft Section generation – generate just a hero, pricing table, FAQ, or any other section Content improvement – ask it to tighten, rewrite, or expand existing copy HTML conversion – upload an existing HTML page and get it back as native blocks Global Styles setup – when you build with AI, Zip AI sets up your site’s colors, typography, and spacing as Global Styles automatically, so everything stays organized and editable afterward Every layout Zip AI produces is made entirely of Spectra Blocks. That means it’s fully editable afterward – nothing is locked behind an AI-only interface. A note on pricing: the core plugin, all blocks, and all Extensions are completely free and don’t require an account. AI features come from Zip AI, a separate free plugin you install and connect from the Spectra Blocks dashboard. Using AI requires a ZipWP account and runs on credits, including for Spectra Blocks Pro users. AI requests are processed by the ZipWP service. See ZipWP’s terms of service and privacy policy. How Spectra Blocks Works Spectra Blocks doesn’t ship dozens of single-purpose blocks the way Spectra Legacy did. Instead, it gives you a focused set of flexible blocks, plus Extensions that add advanced design controls to WordPress’s own core blocks. Text and Buttons are Spectra’s own content blocks. The Text block handles everything from headings (H1 to H6) to paragraphs, and the Buttons block creates fully customizable button groups. Extensions for core blocks add advanced spacing, border, shadow, and responsive controls to the core blocks you already use, like Image. You keep WordPress’s own blocks and get more design power on top. Container is the foundation for custom layouts — nest any block inside it, including core WordPress blocks and other plugins’ blocks. Layout and content blocks include Accordion, Tabs, Slider, List, Icon, Separator, and Google Map. Dynamic and engagement blocks include Post (grid, masonry, and carousel layouts), Countdown, Counter, Modal, and Popup Builder. Design Library provides pre-built patterns for testimonials, info boxes, pricing tables, and comparisons, all built from Spectra Blocks. Missing a block you used in Spectra Legacy? It’s probably not gone – it’s just built differently now. A testimonial is a Container with an Image, Text, and Buttons inside it. A pricing table works the same way. If you’d rather use the original dedicated block exactly as it was, Spectra Legacy still has it. Compatibility Works well with these themes: Astra Spectra One Kadence GeneratePress Blocksy Neve Flatsome Works well with these plugins: WooCommerce SureCart Gravity Forms Fluent Forms LearnDash Tutor LMS Yoast SEO The Events Calendar GiveWP PrestoPlayer SureMembers MemberPress Easy Digital Downloads Spectra Blocks works with any standards-compliant WordPress theme. It has been tested for compatibility with WPML. Coming from Spectra Legacy? Spectra Legacy (the original plugin, published as “Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg”) isn’t going anywhere — it keeps getting maintenance updates, compatibility fixes, and security patches. Spectra Blocks is a separate new plugin, not an update to your existing install. Running both side by side is normal during a transition: existing pages keep working on Legacy while you build new ones in Blocks. Once no pages use Legacy blocks, you can deactivate it. A few things to know when you move: Global Colors, Typography, and default block settings are not shared between the two plugins — you’ll set them up fresh in Spectra Blocks. Custom CSS written for Legacy block classes will need updating for any sections you rebuild in Spectra Blocks. Legacy pages are unaffected as long as Legacy stays active. Rebuilding a page doesn’t change its URL, so links and SEO stay intact. There’s no deadline. For new projects, start with Spectra Blocks — it’s the actively developed version. Support Need help?
