Timed Event Block adds a server-rendered parent block for scheduling event content by date/time, plus dedicated child blocks for dynamic date, time, and countdown output.
Ideal for event listings such as movie showtimes, class schedules, workshops, conferences, livestreams, and similar use cases. It requires no global configuration: install the plugin and start using the block directly in FSE workflows.
This plugin is designed for full site editing workflows where content creators need:
<ul>
<li>A single event container that can hold any core block (text, media, embeds, columns, groups, etc.).</li>
<li>Automatic status handling based on current server time:</li>
<li>Scheduled</li>
<li>Active</li>
<li>Ended</li>
<li>Optional automatic hiding of ended events (<code>Hide when ended</code>).</li>
<li>Child blocks that can be used only inside the Timed Event parent:</li>
<li>Event Date</li>
<li>Event Time</li>
<li>Event Countdown</li>
<li>Dynamic frontend updates for status/time/countdown without page refresh.</li>
<li>Native Gutenberg style controls (spacing, color, typography, border, dimensions) on parent and child blocks.</li>
</ul>
How it works:
<ol>
<li>Add a Timed Event block.</li>
<li>Set start date/time and duration.</li>
<li>Insert any content you want.</li>
<li>Optionally insert child blocks:</li>
</ol>
* Event Date for date display with site/custom format. 
* Event Time for scheduled time and active/ended label transitions. 
* Event Countdown for countdown to start/end and status transitions. 
5. Publish. Frontend output is resolved server-side, and dynamic text updates via lightweight view scripts.

Otter Blocks – Gutenberg Blocks, Page Builder for Gutenberg Editor & FSE

Great and reactive support. Congratulations !

Great and reactive support


There are way many Block Editor plugins now but Otter stands out. While most other plugins have the same generic set of Blocks, Otter Blocks are niche and focused on user needs.



I have been using it regularly for more than six-months now on my site, and I can proudly say that it is the backbone of my site now.



While most blocks are useful, special credit to Product Review block, which is next level. Customer support is top-notch too.


Backbone of my site now


I installed this beacuse the Riverbanks theme told me to. Found it very useful. Blocks are helpful, without having so many options they are impossible to figure out. Didn't run into anything strange. I like.







5 stars


Easy To Use, Looks Good, No Problems


Are you kidding me? This is the best plugin ever I seen around because it can really touch up your pages. I'm so addicted to it!
