Gutenberg reusable templates block

    Hi,

    I’m using the Gutenberg visual editor in my WordPress site. I wonder how I’m able to create a template of certain blocks grouped together. Let’s say for example a heading, paragraph and an image with spacer. This template (and blocks) have specific classes added which are easy to add for more advanced users, but for “regular” users this is hard to take in.

    I’m aware of the reusable blocks function, but this is best used for content which is not post-specific. Changing the content of a reusable block changes all instances, which is not what I want. I’m also aware you can convert a reusable block to regular block after putting it in your content, but I’m looking for an easier way as the endusers haven’t used this editor and even WordPress before…

    I figure there should be an easier way to achieve this, for now it seems Gutenberg isn’t as user-friendly as I expected it to be (to my regrets..)

    Thanks for your effort in advance.

  • What you’re describing sounds a lot like Block Patterns. I suggest looking into those:

    The Reusable Block is one of my Favorite but it is not Always worthy. If you Use a Block at 2 Different Article and Edit it according to the new post, It automatically update the code in old post. I sometime Cause error like information lag, i use reusable Block for games like Azur Lane mod Apk, if I use it to other and change data about that game it also change to Azur Lane Article which is not Helpful.

    @jakept That sounds indeed exactly what I am looking for! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’ll look into it.

    This either was hidden very good, or I didn’t search for the right searchterms as I’ve been looking for hours (templates, plugins, workarounds, etc).
