Description
Custom Action Block is a powerful WordPress plugin that adds a new block type to the Gutenberg editor. This block allows users to insert custom action hooks anywhere on their WordPress site, not just in posts and pages. This flexibility enables developers to add dynamic content or functionality at any location where blocks can be used, including:
– Posts and pages
– Custom post types
– Widget areas (if block-based widgets are enabled)
– Site-wide areas in block-based themes (header, footer, sidebar)
– Reusable blocks that can be inserted anywhere
By providing this level of flexibility, Custom Action Block opens up endless possibilities for customizing and extending your WordPress site’s functionality.
Usage
For Content Creators:
- Edit a post or page using the block editor
- Click the ‘+’ icon to add a new block
- Search for “Custom Action” in the block inserter
- Add the Custom Action block to your content
- In the block settings, specify a unique name for your action (e.g., “my_custom_action”)
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/custom-action-blockdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
