});
</code></pre>
<p>It can also be made available only to specific user IDs.</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'locky_blocky_required_capability', function( $default ) {
    if ( get_current_user_id() === 123 ) {

    }
    return 'do_not_allow'; // Otherwise, not allowed.
});
</code></pre>
<h3>Important Notice</h3>

Locky Blocky


Good news: This is a God send plugin - easy, nice, ingenious, amazing, I feel embarrassed I did not think of this first.



The bad news: This feature will/should be included in the core thus making this plugin redundant.

GenerateBlocks

Great, really great product by an amazing team.

A small number of blocks (what is it 4?) that cover almost any need when it comes to layouts.

Light, straight forward with tons of options and zero bloat. Insanely good.

Combined with GeneratePress Premium theme by the same team ... powerfull solution for wotking with dynamic data too.

The best


A very differnet block plugin then the others

I had to leave a review just because of how stupid the one-star review I saw is below. Inside the dashboard Generateblocks only has links to documentation, because you use blocks inside the editor, not the dashboard! There are minimal settings because the blocks are lightweight and just do what they say. It's very clear what everything does. 

These blocks add some needed functionality to what is included with WordPress without adding huge weight to the CSS like most blocks. Generatepress developers are very responsive to questions, they always get back to me the same day if I have an issue. I would be embarrassed if I had written a 1-star review for this great plugin. 

Works great and lightweight


Came to GenerateBlocks via GeneratePress. The combination of these two have made a world of difference for my site. Core Web Vitals have improved across the board, and I am able to do with CSS and this plugin much of what I did with many plugins. Ended up going with the Pro version. No regrets on this one.



I use it in all my websites. It is super flexible and easy to use to build complex designs.


The best collection of blocks

A small collection of lightweight WordPress blocks that can accomplish nearly anything.
