Blocksy Theme Blocks extend the WordPress block editor with additional blocks for navigation, dynamic content, post listings, social information, newsletters and WooCommerce functionality.
They can be inserted anywhere the WordPress block editor is available, including posts, pages, widget areas and Content Blocks.
Blocksy Companion required
Theme Blocks become available after installing and activating Blocksy Companion. Some blocks additionally require Blocksy Pro or specific Blocksy functionality, as noted below.
Available Theme Blocks
Open the WordPress block inserter and search for the block you want to use. Each Theme Block provides its own settings in the editor sidebar.
Content & Navigation
- About Me – display information about a WordPress user or a custom profile, including an image, description and social links.
- Advanced Search – add a configurable search field with features such as live results, taxonomy filtering and post-type restrictions.
- Breadcrumbs – display Blocksy’s breadcrumb trail inside posts, pages, templates and other block-editor layouts.
- Contact Info – display structured contact information such as addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and opening hours.
- Newsletter – insert a newsletter subscription form connected to the Newsletter Subscribe extension.
- Share Box – provide visitors with links for sharing the current content across supported services.
- Socials – display links to your social profiles using Blocksy’s social-network configuration or custom values.
Dynamic Content & Listings
- Advanced Posts – create custom listings for posts and other supported post types, with flexible queries and editable post-card layouts.
- Advanced Taxonomies – display categories, tags and other registered taxonomies using configurable grid or slideshow layouts.
- Content Block (Blocksy Pro) – insert an existing Blocksy Content Block directly inside another block-editor layout.
- Dynamic Data – output contextual information such as titles, excerpts, dates, authors, featured images, taxonomy terms and supported WooCommerce data. Additional custom-field sources are available with Post Types Extra.
WooCommerce Filters
The following blocks are designed for WooCommerce product filtering and require the corresponding Blocksy Pro functionality.
- Active Filters (Blocksy Pro) – display the product filters currently applied by the visitor and optionally provide a way to reset them.
- Filter by Price (Blocksy Pro) – let customers narrow the product catalogue using an interactive price-range control.
- Shop Filters (Blocksy Pro) – filter products using categories, tags, attributes, brands and other supported product taxonomies.
Using Theme Blocks
Theme Blocks behave like other WordPress blocks and can be inserted from the regular block library. Once added, select the block to access its configuration and design options from the editor sidebar.
Some blocks are context-aware. For example, Dynamic Data can automatically retrieve information from the post, taxonomy term or queried entry represented by a template, while WooCommerce filtering blocks are intended for product archive and filtering interfaces.
Theme Blocks can also be combined with Blocksy’s Content Blocks system to build more advanced archive, Single Template, header, footer and hooked-content layouts.
Gutenberg Patterns
Blocksy also includes a collection of Gutenberg Patterns. Patterns are not individual Theme Blocks; they are ready-made arrangements of WordPress blocks that can be inserted as a starting point for common page sections.
You can find them in the WordPress pattern library under the Blocksy category, then modify their blocks and content like any other WordPress layout.
