<p>Genesis Custom Blocks provides WordPress developers with the tools they need to take control of the block-first reality of modern WordPress.</p>
<p>The WordPress block editor (AKA Gutenberg) opens up a whole new world for the way we build pages, posts, and websites with WordPress. Genesis Custom Blocks makes it easy to harness this and build custom blocks the way you want them to be built. Whether you want to implement a custom design, deliver unique functionality, or even remove your dependence on other plugins, Genesis Custom Blocks equips you with the tools you need to hit “Publish” sooner.</p>
<p><strong>Take control of design</strong> – Implement beautiful, custom designs with fine-tuned front-end templating control.</p>
<p><strong>Build unique functionality</strong> – Build blocks that function and behave exactly as you need.</p>
<p><strong>Extend & Integrate</strong> – Easily extend your custom blocks to integrate with third-party apps and plugins.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<h3>A Familiar Experience</h3>
<p>Work within the WordPress admin with an interface you already know.</p>
<h3>Block Fields</h3>
<p>Add from a growing list of available fields to your custom blocks.</p>
<h3>Simple Templating</h3>
<p>Let the plugin do the heavy lifting so you can use the built-in editor, or familiar WordPress development practices to build block templates.</p>
<h3>Developer Friendly Functions</h3>
<p>As an alternative to the built-in editor, there are simple functions, ready to render and work with the data stored through your custom block fields.</p>
<h3>Currently available block fields</h3>

<p>Extends the ACF Flexible Content Field by transforming the layout list into a modal with image previews. Editing the fields layouts also happens in a modal for a better editing user experience.</p>
<h4>Image Conventions</h4>
<ul>
<li>The size of the image should be 730 x 300.</li>
<li>They should be named based on the layout’s name (<code>text_block</code>) with underscores converted to dashes (<code>text-block.jpg</code>).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Image Location</h4>
<p>Images should be placed in your theme. By default, images are located here: <code>THEME/lib/admin/images/acf-flexible-content-extended</code>.</p>
<p>Also note that you can filter this path, but it <strong>MUST</strong> be in your theme:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'acf-flexible-content-extended.images_path', $path );
</code></pre>
<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> The path should not have a trailing beginning or trailing slash!</p>
<p>Additionally, you could filter all keys and/or images:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'acf-flexible-content-extended.images', $images );
</code></pre>
