About Layoutic Blocks

Essential native custom blocks, extensions, and patterns for Gutenberg Editor.

Layoutic Blocks fills the gaps in the WordPress block editor by providing essential custom blocks and powerful extensions that Gutenberg simply doesn’t include out of the box. Built entirely with native WordPress components, every block feels right at home inside the editor — no bloated libraries, no page builder lock-in.

Whether you’re a freelancer, agency, or site owner, Layoutic Blocks gives you the tools to build richer, more engaging pages without ever leaving the block editor.

Blocks Included

  • Container – A responsive layout container with Flex, Grid, or Block display set per device. Start from a layout variation (Single, Two, Three or Four Columns, Left or Right Sidebar), then control gaps, alignment, min height, content max width, padding, margin, border, position and overflow at every breakpoint. Layer classic, gradient, or video backgrounds with optional Before, Overlay, and After layers, and restyle the whole card on hover — including the colors of the headings, text, links, and buttons inside it.
  • Carousel – A fully responsive image and content slider built on Swiper, configurable entirely within the editor.
  • Icon – Insert and style any icon from a curated library, with full color and size controls. Save your own custom SVG icons to a reusable, site-wide My Icons library and reuse them anywhere from the icon picker.
  • Counter – Animated number counters to highlight stats, milestones, or key metrics.
  • Progress Bar – Visual progress indicators with customizable labels, colors, and fill levels.
  • Toggle – Accordion-style content toggle to organize FAQs and collapsible sections cleanly.
  • Advanced Toggle – An enhanced toggle block with richer layout and styling controls.
  • Unfold – Reveal hidden content progressively with a “read more / show less” interaction.
  • Map – Embed an interactive Google Map directly inside a block with no shortcode needed.
  • Rating – Star rating display for testimonials, reviews, or product showcases.

Block Extensions

Layoutic Blocks also extends existing core blocks with extra controls:

  • Visibility – Show or hide any core block based on device type (desktop, tablet, mobile) without touching a line of CSS.
  • Responsive Alignment – Set text alignment per device (desktop, tablet, mobile) for core Heading and Paragraph blocks.
  • Iconic Button – Add SVG icon to core button block
  • Iconic List – Add SVG icon to core list block
  • Hover Color – Add hover color, background and border for core blocks
  • Image Masking – Add SVG masking to core image block
  • Paragraph Max Width – Set a custom max-width on core Paragraph blocks for desktop; tablet and mobile automatically fall back to 100%.

More blocks and extensions are in active development — new additions ship regularly.

Why Layoutic Blocks?

  • Natively Built – Uses WordPress’s own block API and components. No React frameworks bolted on top, no external page builder required.
  • Performance First – Block assets load only on pages where those blocks are used. Zero overhead on pages that don’t use them.
  • Selective Loading – Enable only the blocks and extensions you actually need, keeping your site lean and your editor uncluttered.
  • No Coding Required – Every block is fully configurable from the editor sidebar. No shortcodes, no custom CSS needed for common tasks.
  • Works With Any Theme – Layoutic Blocks is theme-agnostic and works especially well with Full Site Editing (FSE) themes.

Perfect for: freelancers, agencies, bloggers, and anyone building WordPress sites in the block editor who needs more creative control without leaving Gutenberg.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin require a specific theme?

No. Layoutic Blocks works with any WordPress theme that supports the block editor. It works especially well with Full Site Editing (FSE) themes.

Will it slow down my site?

No. Block assets are loaded only on pages where those blocks are actually used. Unused blocks add zero overhead to your front end.

Can I use only some of the blocks?

Yes. The plugin settings screen lets you enable or disable each block and extension individually so you only load what you need.

Is Layoutic Blocks compatible with WooCommerce?

Layoutic Blocks does not require WooCommerce, but it does not conflict with it either. You can use both plugins together without issues.

More blocks coming?

Yes! New blocks and extensions are actively being developed. Updates are released regularly — keep the plugin updated to get the latest additions.

Changelog

1.1.0

  • Added: Container block – build responsive layouts with Flex, Grid, or Block display, set independently for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile.
  • Added: Container layout variations – start a new container from Single Column, Two Columns, Three Columns, Four Columns, Left Sidebar, or Right Sidebar.
  • Added: Container layout controls – flex direction and wrap, grid columns, align items, justify content, justify items, and separate row and column gaps, all per device.
  • Added: Container sizing – min height, content max width, vertical alignment, and responsive padding and margin.
  • Added: Container child sizing – size a nested container by flex Grow or Width inside a flex parent, or by Column Span and Row Span inside a grid parent. The sidebar offers whichever pair the parent can actually act on.
  • Added: Container backgrounds – classic color and image (with focal point, size, repeat, and attachment), gradient, or video, each configurable per device.
  • Added: Container decorative layers – optional Before, Overlay, and After layers with their own color, gradient, opacity, and stacking order.
  • Added: Container border and position – responsive border and radius, plus position (relative, absolute, sticky, fixed) with inset offsets, overflow, and z-index.
  • Added: Container HTML tag selection (div, section, header, footer, main, article, aside, nav) and an anchor option that turns the whole container into a link.
  • Added: Container hover state – change the background, border, radius, and decorative layers on hover, with a Normal / Hover switch in the sidebar.
  • Added: Container content colors – recolor the headings, text, links, and buttons inside a container in both the normal and hover state, so a whole card changes together.
  • Added: Container transition duration and timing function, applied to the container, its layers, and its content colors.
  • Added: Site-wide Container defaults – set the default padding, row gap, column gap, and content max width per device from the plugin dashboard, and every new container starts from them.
  • Improved: Hover styles also apply on keyboard focus (focus-within), so a container used as a link or card responds to tabbing as well as to the mouse.
