What the author says it does

Genesis Blocks is a collection of page building blocks for the Gutenberg block editor. Building pages with the block editor and Genesis Blocks gives you more control to quickly create and launch any kind of site you want!

Installing the customizable Genesis Blocks plugin adds a collection of beautiful, site-building blocks to help you customize page layouts, increase engagement, and get results for your business. Genesis Blocks provides everything from customizable buttons, to beautifully-designed page sections and full-page layout designs via the Section & Layout block.

Along with the blocks themselves, Genesis Blocks extends the content creation experience by providing a library of page sections and full-page layouts, all available from within the block editor.

Create compelling content faster.

Create and use content quickly with prebuilt and custom content sections and full-page layouts.

Questions the author answers

Can Genesis Blocks be used with any theme?

Yes, you can use Genesis Blocks with any theme, but we recommend using one of the Gutenberg-ready StudioPress themes such as Revolution for the best presentation. Both of these themes have beautiful styles built in specifically for Genesis Blocks.

Do I need the new block editor to use Genesis Blocks?

Yes, you will need to have WordPress 5.3 or later installed to take advantage of Genesis Blocks.

Latest changelog entry

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
