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.
<h3>Create compelling content faster.</h3>
Create and use content quickly with prebuilt and custom content sections and full-page layouts.
<h3>Enhance the Gutenberg editor.</h3>
Additional content blocks and the layout selector make it easy to get the most value out of the block-based editor.
<h3>Genesis Blocks currently includes the following blocks to help you build content and pages quickly and effortlessly:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Section & Layout Block</li>
<li>Advanced Columns Block</li>
<li>Newsletter Block</li>
<li>Pricing Block</li>
<li>Post Grid Block</li>
<li>Container Block</li>
<li>Testimonial Block</li>
<li>Inline Notice Block</li>
<li>Accordion Block</li>
<li>Share Icons Block</li>
<li>Call-To-Action Block</li>
<li>Spacer & Divider Block</li>
<li>Author Profile Block</li>
<li>Drop Cap Block</li>
</ul>
Breaking change: The Genesis Blocks Button block is deprecated in favor of the Core Buttons block.
When you open the block editor, this will automatically convert your Genesis Blocks Button blocks to the Core Buttons block.
This will not convert Button blocks if you don’t open the block editor.
You might see some styling changes, especially if you have custom styling for classes other than ‘gb-block-button’.

Genesis Blocks

A user installed this plugin on my network without install_plugins capabilities via StudioPress's Genesis theme. Today, I got notified that a security fix had been committed for one of the plugins on my network.

I inspected the security fix, and practically, a user was permitted to install this backdoor. No wonder it got 100k+ installs while being a most obscure addition to WordPress.

The Genesis theme also installed a couple of Awesome Motive plugins via this, a company that goes against everything WordPress that I wouldn't dare to touch with a 10-foot cable. They do this via genesis_do_onboarding_pack_selection(), which checks for manage_options, not install_plugins or is_super_admin(), allowing anyone to hijack an open WordPress Multisite network.

I reported these security issues to them two years ago, but obviously, they still haven't been resolved. They show no care about your website.

Moreover, this plugin pollutes the global namespace with functions like is_heading() (without a namespace). I don't know who StudioPress is hiring nowadays, but the senior developers are long gone since its merger with WP Engine.

Amateurs. 

You shouldn't have ignored my previous calls, so enjoy this stain on your record.

Installed without consent, bad company
