Overview
Content Blocks Builder (CBB) helps you create custom blocks, variations, styles, and patterns — directly in the Block Editor without touching a code editor.
The WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) is a solid foundation for building websites. But when you need more specific layouts or custom functionality not available in default blocks, you’re often forced to write custom code or rely on bloated third-party plugins.
CBB solves this by letting you visually group core or third-party blocks into flexible container blocks — right inside the native Block Editor. These container blocks support native features like typography, spacing, colors, borders, plus advanced features from CBB that help you build layouts like responsive grid, slider/carousel, toggle/accordion, modal/off-canvas/popove…

Very powerful and useful, especially for complex projects

This plugin really helps close some key gaps between Gutenberg and Full Site Editing. For advanced users who are making the switch to FSE, it really is a must-have. We’ve used it significantly cut down on the time and resources it takes to build custom blocks.

Grate plugin and mess at the same time
by Paul Bystrzan·1 year ago·1 reply
5/5, but some words worth to put:
In general experience: I love… few things – the rest is just mess I can’t even as a developer to turn off.
What I love / like:
- Grid Block – it’s almost perfect and far away from other plugins offer the same
- I can develop features NOW that comes in next few releases to WordPress (like: lock binding, easy pattern creation etc.)
What I really hate:
- Pattern library: it could be add-on – not bundled thing in this plugin – for infos for devs like CBB button in toolbar could be a filter to turn it off.
- Disable native plugin’s blocks like carousel – for now it’s possible by another plugin installation (with some random problems).
- Freemius – I understand it, but still it’s the only one plugin I use and contains “Freemius” inside. Maybe it’s worth to switch to own flow (i love the Misha did it and has tutorials how He made it: rudrastyh.com).
Best,
Paul
