<p>ZenBlocks extends the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) with custom blocks and advanced styling controls. Design responsive, professional buttons and UI elements — without writing any code.</p>
<p><strong>Button Basic Block</strong></p>
<p>Create fully customizable buttons with granular control over every visual aspect:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Colors & Backgrounds</strong> — Solid color, gradient, or image backgrounds with hover state support</li>
<li><strong>Typography</strong> — Font family, size, weight, line height, and letter spacing</li>
<li><strong>Layout</strong> — Width, height, padding, and margin with fine-grained control</li>
<li><strong>Borders</strong> — Width, style, color, and independent corner radius</li>
<li><strong>Icons</strong> — 1,500+ built-in icons with size, color, and position options</li>
<li><strong>Hover Effects</strong> — Separate styling for hover state with smooth transitions</li>
<li><strong>32 Design Presets</strong> — Start from professionally designed templates and customize freely</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Responsive Design</strong></p>
<p>Every setting supports 4 breakpoints (PC / Tablet L / Tablet / Mobile) so your buttons look great on all devices. Customize values per device or let them cascade automatically.</p>
<p><strong>Performance</strong></p>
<p>ZenBlocks generates optimized CSS per page — only the styles you actually use are loaded on the frontend. No bloated global stylesheets.</p>
<p><strong>Pro Features (Optional)</strong></p>
<p>Additional features such as animations, thumbnails, and background video are available through a separate plugin (ZenBlocks Pro) from <a href="https://zenblockswp.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">zenblockswp.com</a>.</p>
<h3>Source Code</h3>
<p>This plugin includes compiled JavaScript and CSS files in the <code>build/</code> directory. The original uncompiled source code is included in the <code>src/</code> directory of this plugin.</p>
<p>To build from source:</p>
<ol>
<li>Install Node.js (v18 or later)</li>
<li>Run <code>npm install</code> in the plugin root directory</li>
<li>Run <code>npm run build</code> to generate the production files in <code>build/</code></li>
</ol>
<p>The build process uses <code>@wordpress/scripts</code> (webpack-based).</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin includes an optional media search feature that connects to third-party image and video APIs. These services are only used when the user configures API keys in the plugin settings and actively searches for media within the block editor. No data is sent to these services during normal frontend usage.</p>

SiteOrigin CSS


This is one of the best CSS plugins out there. It's WAY better for custom CSS than the built in WP way. 



While writing this review, I made two feature requests which would bump it up to five stars. 



One thing I'm personally missing is a sort of CSS guide. As in, links to the W3C page of that properity for people to read up upon.


Amazing stuff

Powerful, simple CSS editing for WordPress. Visual controls & real-time previews for effortless site customization.
