Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Blocks – Reusable Content, Shortcodes & Site Variables

Create a source item under the Blocks menu, copy its shortcode (for example [block id="42"]), and paste it wherever the content should appear. Edit the source item to update every placement that uses it. See how it works.

Yes. Blocks ships integrations for the block editor (Gutenberg), Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Oxygen, Zion, Thrive, Breakdance, and Fusion (Avada). Add the shortcode or the native builder element where the content should appear.

A global content shortcode displays content managed in one source block. The same shortcode can be placed on multiple pages, widgets, templates, or supported builder layouts, and every placement updates when you edit the source.

Define a site variable such as a phone number, email address, price, or current year and display it with a token like {{blocks:phone}} or with [blocks var="name"]. Updating the stored variable changes every supported placement. Built-in tokens cover your site info, and an optional "resolve variables everywhere" setting makes tokens work typed directly into regular content, widgets, and any page builder.

Yes. The Import / Export page downloads all your blocks and variables as one JSON file and imports the same file on any other site running Blocks. Existing blocks are matched by title and are not overwritten unless you choose to.

Yes. Blocks supports categories and tags, so large libraries stay manageable.

Yes. The Performance settings can opt selected local WordPress script handles into PHP minification. Blocks writes immutable cached copies under uploads while preserving each handle's dependencies, loading strategy, inline data, and footer placement. Remote scripts are never fetched, and a source or compiler failure keeps the original script URL.
