Good Plugin Job

I have been using it for quite some time and it does the job very well. It is a great tool it saves a lot of time but it needs a few more features to become excellent. For example:
I know the team is working on future updates and I would be happy to reconsider my rating when time comes. Keep up the good work!

Admittedly, I never used blocks on my website. I would always just use custom HTML for every post because I have a few advanced elements that I needed to use HTML for.
Just started experimenting with blocks last week to try and improve the workflow of making posts and this plugin works really well to help me create and maintain the custom blocks that I need.

Didn’t know about this plugin, but it makes it really easy to use custom Gutenberg Blocks. If you have to make then yourself, it quite hard to setup. Hope the pro version comes out soon though. Thanks!

Thanks,
Gutenberg is now easier to work with.

I found this plugin after struggling for a while with the custom approach, which mostly relies on JavaScript. Suddenly I’m able to progress and (importantly) use PHP instead of JS.
I really like that I can generate blocks programmatically, which allows (e.g.) select controls to be populated with values from the WP database rather than hard-coded.
It’s also good to see that I can use the block values to generate a shortcode, which helps to make them easier for users to manage.
The templating system for output is neat, and like I said, it means that I can use my PHP/WP skills instead of having to rely on complex JS.
Thanks to the authors, and I look forward to seeing how the plugin develops.

Time saver, it makes the work flow hundred times easier.
It’s so easy for someone who’s not so code-experienced to get used to and working with the blocks that we set up.
Their support is very fast and helpful as well!

Blocks? OMGWTF… ??
function loadMyBlock() {
wp_enqueue_script(
'my-new-block',
plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . 'test-block.js',
array('wp-blocks','wp-editor'),
…(code snippet taken from a comprehensive tutorial by Flywheel.)
Before you go crazy and lose your mind over complicated code, there is an easier way to create your own blocks for WordPress’ block editor (aka Gutenberg):
Block Lab provides you with an easy form builder to set up your blocks and the documentation tells you, how you can add custom templates for rendering your new block. Forget about REACT and “learn JavaScript deeply” – this plugin is a big time saver and you only need very basic skills in PHP and CSS.
Great tool. Strong recommendation.

Didn’t know it could be so easy to build your own blocks. This plugin makes a lot of fun when creating new blocks. I used it to setup blocks for Bootstrap cards and alerts.
Feature request: responsive images with srcset.

This plugin is a game changer if you want to use the Gutenberg Editor. I’d go as far as saying that this plugin is even a requirement. Before Gutenberg, Shortcodes were the way to add custom elements to the content. Blocks are their evolution in Gutenberg, with many advantages in terms as editing WYSIWYG, data handling etc. However with a big disadvantage which is that it is not easy to create a block by yourself (on top of PHP, you need to know about REST, Javascript etc). Don’t judge my developer skills, but I didnt manage to set up a simple block myself.
That’s where Block Lab comes in. With Block Lab, creating the backend entry form is drag&drop without a single line of code. You only code the output in PHP (and CSS), and a simple block can be a one-liner.
As a result, we now have approx. 10 blocks live, setting up a post is now much faster, leaner and – above all – clearer. Before using Blocks, we entered a lot of information as we wanted, even for repetitive information (e.g. an FAQ). Now we have an FAQ block that we just fill and the output always looks the same.
I highly recommend this plugin to any developer or skilled wordpress user. We use the Pro version and wouldn’t downgrade.
Please note that you need basic PHP skills to run it.

The idea has sooo much going for it and I hope for this plugin to become a standard for block development. I think that for that to happen import needs to be a free function and export and can remain paid. I love to also see a repository of premade block sets that can be imported to sites. Make it as friendly for clients as possible and I will continue to pay for the plugin and try my best to participate in the community.

I’ve been using Block Lab for a few months, and I don’t think I’ll build another site without it. It makes block creation simple and straightforward, but allows for much flexibility. Clients love using blocks created in Block Lab, because it allows them to fill out a few fields in the page editor, then see their field inputs styled, responsive, and beautiful on the front end. The developers of the plugin have been great, and I’m excited to see Block Lab continue to grow.

Has a wide range of possibilities to create personal blocks and to expand the scope of the ‘BLOCK’. Easy to use and understand

I’m designing my own theme for a business and this plugin has been a life saver. I’ve coded my own custom blocks before using JavaScript but theres very little documentation and support on how to add images. So, this plugin is the best of both worlds – super easy to use yet offers almost the same versatility as coding your own block type. This plugin has saved my sanity! ??

If you use tag “more”, and try post content with strip teaser <?php the_content(null, true); ?> blocks are not displayed – WP bug.

Great work! Love the simple UI and the easy and enjoyable process of creating blocks. Hope to see its future growth and the pro version export feature.

Very good Plugin Job. If there is an export function, it would be perfect. Still 5 stars.

I wanted to try a beginner method of making custom blocks, and BlockLab was perfect. Clear interface, clear instructions, and everything went smoothly. I got my first custom block working in less than half an hour. I LOVE how the plugin tells you the location and filename it expects for the template – that’s really handy. I like the 2-template system for front end display and preview too. The block I made was an inset/aside, and interacted weirdly with other blocks in the editor GUI, but I was able to address those issues in the preview template. I feel confident that I can easily create custom blocks for clients.

So much better to work with custom blocks and templates for those who don’t want to go the boilerplate route and touch a lot of code

THANK YOU… after days of strugging to convert my shortcodes , trying to understand the multitude of differing ways to create blocks, I stumbled across your site. I can only say that it has saved me from even more sleepless nights and thicker glasses. Great product and so easy to use cannot wait for more features. 5-star

the above site is using Block-Lab for displaying posts in the News and Course section, Showing YouTube videos and the face book plugin at the end of the main page.
We have created many more blocks and will show when the sites are live.
Great Work
