Please note: The Magazine Blocks are still maintained, but will not receive any new features. WordPress Core has released the Query Loop block in the meantime and we recommend to use the Core block for new projects.

You can use this plugin to create a magazine-styled homepage with just a few clicks:

1. Add a new Magazine Block.

Right now you can choose from five different Magazine Layouts, each represented by its own Block.

It is good, but it does not support elementor. It is a major drawback of this plugin.

Easy to use layout blocks

I use a lot of ThemeZee themes and their related supporting plugins. Moving over to blocks, it took a while to get used to leaving the use of magazine formats and widget functions. Once we had this magazine blocks plugin, it has been easy to manage grid layouts in all pages and posts, and the current set meets most of my needs. It would be good to have a block to show a single post and to manage its options (or a 1×1 grid), but other than that, this plugin does it all for my purposes. And it works prefectly well for non-ThemeZee themes.
