Gutenberg is good, and with PublishPress Blocks, it’s great! PublishPress Blocks has everything you need to build professional websites with WordPress. The blocks include layout options, sliders, buttons, icons, image galleries, maps, tabs, testimonials, accordions, and much more.v
Reusable Blocks / Synced Patterns are one of my favorite features in the WordPress block editor. They allow you to easily re-use content in multiple places across your site. However, WordPress does place access control limits on Reusable Blocks (that’s what I’ll call them in this post, although Synced Patterns is more commonly used). We…
We just released something really cool for the WordPress block editor. You can just create your own styles for any block. For example, I want some blocks with the purple and yellow colors of the PublishPress band. That’s super-easy. Check out this screenshot below. In the right menu, I can pick from dozens of different…
In the middle of 2025, I wrote a post saying that we have big, new plans for the PublishPress Blocks plugin. Our goal with the plugin is to provide a complete set of management tools for blocks.

The Gutenberg block editor makes it easy to add and edit content in WordPress. However, sometimes you want to do just the opposite! Sometimes your content should not be updated. With the PublishPress plugins, you can completely prevent some users from adding new blocks to your WordPress content. In this guide, I’ll share two ways…
“Block Permissions” is one of the most popular features in the PublishPress Blocks plugin. This feature allows you to control which blocks are available to different user roles. For example, if you want to prevent some user roles from adding “Table” blocks, you can block them from doing that with this feature. The system is…
PublishPress Blocks is one of our most popular plugins. Honestly, that’s a little surprising to me. One reason that’s surprising is because the plugin has a smaller potential audience than most.
