Spectra Legacy – Gutenberg Blocks vs Bootstrap Blocks

This plugin was previously called Spectra. It’s now Spectra Legacy. Nothing on your website has changed. Your blocks, pages, settings, and content all continue to work exactly as they did before. There’s nothing to migrate and nothing to configure. Spectra Legacy vs. Spectra Blocks We’ve split Spectra into two products. Spectra Legacy is this plugin — built for existing Spectra users. It receives security and compatibility updates and full support, but no new features. Spectra Blocks is a new, separate plugin where all new feature development happens, aimed at new installs and anyone who wants ongoing additions. If you’re already using this plugin, no action is needed; installing Spectra Blocks is entirely optional whenever you’re ready. If you’re already using this plugin, you don’t need to do anything. If you want new features as they’re released, you can install Spectra Blocks separately, whenever you’re ready. There’s no deadline and no required migration. What’s included Spectra Legacy includes the full block library your site is already built on: layout tools, content and post blocks, form and SEO blocks, social blocks, and site tools like Popup Builder and Coming Soon mode. Blocks included Core — Container, Heading, Image, Icon, Buttons, Info Box, Call To Action, Countdown Content — Sliders, Content Timeline, Google Maps, Inline Notices, Tabs, Taxonomy List, Price List (Loop Builder in Spectra Pro Legacy) Post — Counter, Modal Popup, Post Carousel, Post Grid, Post Timeline Social — Instagram Feed, Blockquote, Social Share, Team, Testimonials Forms — Contact form, newsletter signup, suggestion form, reCAPTCHA (registration/login forms in Spectra Pro Legacy) SEO — FAQ, How-To, Review, Table of Contents Dynamic content — Archive feed filtering by date, author, category, and post type Site tools — Popup Builder, Coming Soon mode, block animations, local Google Fonts, global styling defaults About the AI block The AI block previously included in this plugin is now called ZipAI. It still works in Spectra Legacy for compatibility. New AI features are being built in Spectra Blocks going forward. Compatibility Works with most standard WordPress themes, including Spectra One, Astra, Blocksy, and GeneratePress. Compatible with common plugins including WooCommerce, SureCart, Gravity Forms, LearnDash, MemberPress, and Yoast SEO. See our documentation for the full compatibility list.

Bootstrap Gutenberg Blocks for WordPress. This plugin adds Bootstrap components and layout options as Gutenberg blocks. Features Supports Bootstrap v5 and v4 Support for CSS grid (experimental) Fully customizable with filters Configuration via option page or programmatically with constants Block templates can be overwritten in your theme The full documentation of this plugin can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/tschortsch/bootstrap-blocks-wordpress-plugin#readme Available Blocks Container Options: Fluid: If enabled the container will use the full available width, spanning the entire width of the viewport. 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. No Gutters: Disable gutters between columns. Alignment: Horizontal alignment of inner column blocks. Vertical Alignment: Vertical alignment of inner column blocks. Editor stack columns: Displays stacked columns in the editor to enhance readability of block content. Horizontal Gutters: Size of horizontal gutters. Vertical Gutters: Size of vertical gutters. 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.
