Pillar Press – Content Blocks for Gutenberg

The cornerstone of content creation with Gutenberg.

Marin Matosevic

<p><strong>Snap Blocks</strong> is a lightweight plugin that lets you create reusable content blocks in WordPress.</p>
<p>Each block is its own post and can be edited with the free version of <strong>Elementor</strong>, or now also with <strong>WPBakery Page Builder</strong>. You can group them, duplicate them, and insert them anywhere using a shortcode or a built-in widget.</p>
<p>If you’re familiar with reusable blocks in the Gutenberg editor, this works in a similar way — but built for popular page builders.</p>
<p>🛠️ Built for developers, designers, and content editors who want a smarter way to manage repeatable content across their WordPress sites.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Custom post type: <code>snap_block</code> for managing standalone content blocks</li>
<li>Edit blocks with <strong>Elementor</strong> or <strong>WPBakery</strong></li>
<li>Insert blocks via <strong>shortcode</strong>, Elementor widget, or WPBakery element</li>
<li>Widgets include a dropdown selector for easy block selection</li>
<li>Organize blocks using a <code>Group</code> taxonomy</li>
<li>Built-in <strong>Duplicate</strong> action for faster block creation</li>
<li>Clean, minimal UI — integrates seamlessly with the WordPress dashboard</li>
