FrontBlocks is a lightweight toolkit that extends the WordPress Block Editor (aka Gutenberg) with layout controls, interactive blocks, and content enhancements. Build richer pages with the blocks you already use, without relying on a page builder or custom code. Turn Query Loops and grids into carousels, add animations and visual effects, improve layouts, and enable practical site utilities. FrontBlocks works with native WordPress blocks as well as supported GenerateBlocks elements, with optional integrations for WooCommerce, GenerateBlocks/GeneratePress and Gravity Forms. Container Edge Alignment Add custom controls to GenerateBlocks Container blocks and native WordPress Group/Container blocks to remove padding from the left or right side, creating edge-to-edge layouts. This feature only appears for containers using GeneratePress global max-width settings, perfect for creating asymmetric layouts where content extends to one browser edge while maintaining proper spacing on the other side. Carousel/Slider for GenerateBlocks Grid and Query Loop We have added options to Gutenberg blocks that enable you to create a carousel or slider using your preferred blocks. Supported blocks include GenerateBlocks Grid, GenerateBlocks Element, core/group, and the native WordPress Query Loop (core/query). To start using the carousel, go to the grid block or Query Loop block and select the ‘Carousel’ or ‘Slider’ option in the ‘FrontBlocks Grid Options’ section. Carousel/Slider attributes: – Autoplay: automatically changes the slides after a certain amount of time (in seconds). – Items to view: configure the number of items to display for different screen sizes: * Desktop (>1200px): number of items to show on desktop screens. * Laptop (992px-1199px): number of items to show on laptop screens. * Tablet (768px-991px): number of items to show on tablet screens. * Mobile ( , , , ) and event-handler attributes (on*) are stripped before saving, protecting against XSS attacks. Login Block: Add a native Gutenberg login form block to any page or post. Insert the block from the Gutenberg inserter under the FrontBlocks category. Features a toggle to switch between login form and registration form views, with fully customizable labels and styles. Ideal for membership sites or pages requiring a clean, integrated login experience without a shortcode. Post Meta (Native) — FrontBlocks PRO: Display custom field values from post meta inside native WordPress blocks directly in the editor. Select any registered meta key and output its value inline within heading, paragraph, or other text blocks — no shortcodes or custom PHP required. Useful for displaying dynamic data such as prices, dates, or any custom field stored in post meta. Available in FrontBlocks PRO. FAQ Schema (JSON-LD): Automatically generate FAQPage structured data for search engines. Enable the “FAQ Schema” toggle in any accordion block (core/details) to mark it as an FAQ item. FrontBlocks collects all enabled items on the page and outputs a valid FAQPage JSON-LD script in the footer, improving your chances of appearing as rich results in Google Search. Gravity Forms Inline Layout: Display Gravity Forms with fields and buttons on the same line. Perfect for newsletter signup forms (email + subscribe button) or search forms (input + search button). To use this feature: 1. Select a form in the Gravity Forms block 2. Find the “FrontBlocks Gravity Form Options” panel in the block settings where you can: – Enable inline layout with a simple toggle – Adjust the gap between elements (0-50px) – Responsive design: automatically stacks on mobile devices This feature eliminates the need for custom CSS to achieve inline form layouts. Stacked Images Block: Display a set of images with an animated stacking effect. Images appear layered on top of each other and animate in from a configurable direction (top, bottom, left, or right). Insert the block from the Gutenberg inserter under the FrontBlocks category and upload multiple images. Features: – Configurable animation duration and delay between each image. – Container height control to fit any layout. – Smooth entrance animations driven by CSS/JS with no dependencies. Events: Register and manage events directly from WordPress. Enable the Events feature from the FrontBlocks settings page and choose between two modes: a dedicated Custom Post Type (with its own menu and category taxonomy) or storing events as regular posts. Each event includes meta fields for: – All-day toggle – Start and end date and time – Cost – Event website URL Language Recommendation Banner: Display a smart banner that detects the visitor’s browser language and suggests switching to the matching version of the site. Enable the banner from the FrontBlocks settings page. The banner only appears when the site has a translated version matching the user’s browser language, and respects user dismissal via a cookie. Cookie Notice: Show a lightweight, configurable cookie consent banner with Accept and Reject actions. Choose between a full-width bottom bar, a boxed panel (bottom-left or bottom-right) or a centered popup, and customize the message, button labels, cookie policy page, accent color and cookie expiration. Google Tag Manager and/or GA4 are only requested and loaded after a visitor accepts — never before — and returning visitors who already accepted get the scripts on normal page load. The settings page also shows a simple accepted/rejected acceptance-rate stat (admins are excluded from the count). Implements Google Consent Mode v2, so it also holds back tracking from other analytics/ads plugins that respect it — including Google Site Kit — until the visitor decides. Advanced Cookie Management (FrontBlocks PRO): Extend Cookie Notice with separate Necessary, Analytics and Marketing preferences, a customizable preferences dialog and a reusable trigger that lets visitors update their choices later. Google Ads, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity only run after the relevant category is accepted. It also supports the official Meta Pixel for WordPress plugin by holding its Pixel and Conversions API signals until Marketing consent.

It includes additional features and improvements over the free version.
