Gutenberg block in place of CiviCRM shortcode
As of April 2026, Blocks for CiviCRM is a WordPress crm plugin with 70 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 5.0K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 5.4+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2022. Actively maintained — updated within the last month. Top alternative: Flamingo.
CiviCRM uses shortcode in order to insert dynamic content into WordPress pages, such as Petition, Survey, Contribution form, Membership…
As mentioned into the CiviCRM documentation:
“Currently there is no specific CiviCRM block for Gutenberg so there is no interactive way to see the options available for the shortcode.
You will need to know the format and look up IDs and options in CiviCRM before creating the shortcode in WordPress.”
Knowing an object ID is not very convenient. So we’ve made a plugin which uses the CiviCRM API to get and display all attributes for the shortcode, directly in a simple block.
This way, embedding CiviCRM content into any WordPress page becomes a child’s play!
