Dream Theme

<p>Better Block Editor (BBE) adds responsive layout controls, hover effects, on-scroll animations, and ready-to-use site templates to Block Editor. It’s not another page builder. It doesn’t replace core blocks or add bloat — BBE just adds the missing settings where needed. It works with your current block theme and plugins, so your existing content stays intact.</p>
<h3>Highlights</h3>
<ul>
<li>Responsive Settings for Row, Stack, Grid, Columns, Button, Navigation, and text (Heading, Paragraph) blocks — choose a breakpoint, then adjust orientation, spacing, and alignment at that breakpoint.</li>
<li>Responsive Visibility for any block — set the default visibility state and change it at a chosen breakpoint.</li>
<li>Prevent Shrinking for elements set to Fixed or Fit-content sizes — keeps complex layouts intact on small screens.</li>
<li>Animation on Scroll — configurable animation effect, easing, duration, and delay.</li>
<li>Hover colors for Button and Navigation.</li>
<li>Pre-made Sites and Partial Import — bring over a full site or a single page/section; assets import automatically.</li>
<li>One-click customization for imported content — set primary, secondary, and neutral colors; BBE creates a balanced palette in one click.</li>
<li>Native Block Editor integration — no lock-in, lightweight, GPL, and free.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Responsive Settings for Row and Stack — change orientation (convert Row <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">↔</span> Stack), justification, vertical alignment, and spacing at a chosen breakpoint. This panel is key to controllable responsive behavior in Block Editor sites.</li>
<li>Prevent Shrinking — available when a block’s width/height is set to Fit content or Fixed; prevents fixed-size elements from collapsing on small screens.</li>
<li>Responsive Visibility for any block — set the default visibility state (visible/hidden) and change it at a chosen breakpoint.</li>
<li>Responsive Settings for Grid — replaces the core Stack on mobile with a dedicated panel to choose the stacking breakpoint and adjust spacing at that breakpoint.</li>
<li>Improved Stack on mobile for Columns — choose the breakpoint and optionally reverse the column order at that breakpoint.</li>
<li>Navigation overlay menu — replaces the fixed Mobile option with Responsive; pick the exact breakpoint when navigation collapses to a menu icon (useful for headers).</li>
<li>Hover color for Navigation — add hover color controls for menu and submenu items.</li>
<li>Responsive Settings for Button — control the orientation of inner buttons (stack or reverse), plus justification and vertical alignment at a chosen breakpoint.</li>
<li>Hover colors for Button — set text, background, and border colors on hover.</li>
<li>Responsive Settings for Post Template (Grid view) — stack posts and adjust spacing at a chosen breakpoint.</li>
<li>Animation on Scroll for any block — subtle reveal on scroll with configurable effect, easing, duration, and delay.</li>
<li>Responsive text alignment — add alignment controls at a chosen breakpoint for Heading, Paragraph, and select text-based blocks.</li>
<li>SVG Icon block + sanitized SVG upload — place SVG icons anywhere; control size, color, hover color, and linking.</li>
<li>Breakpoints — edit built-in breakpoints and add or remove custom breakpoints.</li>
</ul>

Better Block Editor (BBE)


The template importer is amazing! I was able to set up a whole site in just a few clicks. The designs look great, and now I just need to customize the content. I also love the control the responsive settings give, super helpful. Really impressed overall. Expecting more nice templates and blocks. Great job, team!


Wow!

<p>Insert a widget or multiple widgets or a entire widget area (sidebar) into a page using a shortcode.</p>
<p>Set up your widget first in a normal sidebar.  Check it works.<br />
THEN Drag your chosen widgets to the sidebar called “widgets for shortcode”.</p>
<p>Add the do_widget shortcode to the page where you would like the widget to appear (or the do_widget_area)</p>
<p>To use in the block editor, add a shortcode block, then type in (including the square brackets [do_widget widgetname]  or copy the do_widget tip from the widget in the ‘Widgets for Shortcodes’ sidebar.</p>
<p>Please see detailed info on shortcodes and parameters under the installation tab (depending what the plugin directory developers have most recently done, this may be under the FAQ, or at the very least under the readme.)</p>
<p>Using a widget more than once?</p>
<p>Reference a specific widget instance from the do_widget shortcode, or the chosen sidebar from the do_widget_area shortcode.  Eg: [do_widget id=widget-n]</p>
<p>For example: You could use the query posts widget in the page to create a archive within a page, or the rss widget to list feed content from other sites.  For more details see <a href="http://webdesign.anmari.com/category/plugins/shortcode-any-widget/" rel="nofollow ugc">anmari.com</a></p>
<p>The plugins default action is that it will magically find the settings for your themes sidebar and use the sidebar html to control the widgets output.  In most cases this means the widget will be styled as per the rest of your theme.  If that does not look good, parameters exist to try override this behaviour.</p>
<p>EG: in twenty-fourteen theme widget text ends up being white on white! widget_classes=none fixes that. Eg: [do_widget widget_classes=none yourwidget]</p>
<p>Changed your theme and worried about losing the sidebar settings ?</p>
<p>No problem, the plugin will save and restore the widgets_for_shortcode settings.  On display it will then pick up the new themes sidebar settings.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong></p>
<p>PLEASE get your widgets working in a sidebar BEFORE activating this plugin, and please read https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/installation/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/faq/ and/or see the settings page.  To see a list of your widgets in their sidebars, add ?do_widget_debug to the page with the do_widget shortcode.</p>


amr shortcode any widget

This tool works flawlessly. I was wondering about this kind of solution for a long. Thanks for creating this. I'll prepare a tutorial on it.

Great Life Saving Tool
