This plugin adds a Gallery Posts menu to your WordPress dashboard. To add content to the rotating gallery:
<ol>
<li>Add a new Gallery Post for each image/headline to be shown in the rotating gallery</li>
<li>Attach one or more images to the gallery post by uploading the image(s) with the media uploader while editing the post</li>
<li>Enter the title & content that you would like to overlay the image</li>
<li>Publish the post(s)</li>
<li>Add the Rotating Post Gallery widget to widget area on your home page</li>
<li>Enter the number of Posts to rotate in the gallery (default = All).</li>
<li>Choose the size of image to display in the gallery (based on your Media Settings)</li>
</ol>
When multiple images are attached to a Gallery Post one of the images is randomly selected to be shown on each page view.
In the initial verion, you will have to add some CSS to your theme’s stylesheet:
<pre><code>.slideshow {
 width: 123px;
 height: 456px;
}
</code></pre>
Substitute 123 & 456 with the width & height in your Media Settings.

Custom Block Builder – Lazy Blocks

This plugin is excellent. That's what WordPress team should have done; but will never ever do. Luckily, there are skilled developers to build such needed features. Thanks for making it!

Simply excellent

Lazy Blocks is a great plugin working out of the box, with an amazing user interface and a lot of great options, allowing to build custom rich blocks very easily. 
It's build for developers and documentation is great too.

Almost perfect !

I really like the direction the new Site Editor in Wordpress is developing - building custom blocks for Gutenberg though can be a nightmare. With the Lazyblocks plugin on the other hand this could not be easier! I'm using it in many of my clients websites, when i quickly need to implement a feature using blocks.
And i couldn't help myself getting my hands on the Pro version just to support the development of this awesome piece of software. Full recommendation!

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Brilliant and useful tool!


We have made some advanced blocks mixed with custom PHP functionality and this plugin has saved us a tremendous amount of time. Highly recommend for devs and non devs.


Fantastic Plugin For Developers

Easily create custom blocks and custom meta fields for Gutenberg without hard coding.
