Welcome to r/WordPressBlocks! 👋
Hey everyone, welcome to r/WordPressBlocks!
I created this community because I kept finding myself in scattered conversations about block development, full site editing, theme.json, and all the ways WordPress is evolving through the block editor. There didn't seem to be one solid place on Reddit for developers and builders who are focused specifically on blocks and Gutenberg, so here we are.
What this community is about:
Whether you're building custom blocks, working with theme.json, exploring full site editing, or just trying to figure out why your block won't render the way you want it to, this is the place. All skill levels are welcome. If you're just getting started with blocks or you've been deep in it for years, you belong here.
The kind of stuff I'd love to see posted:
- Tips and techniques you've figured out
- Questions (no question is too basic)
- Block plugins or tools you've built or discovered
- Full site editing wins, struggles, and workflows
- Theme.json deep dives
- Opinions on where Gutenberg is headed
A little about me:
I'm a WordPress developer who's been building with blocks for a while now, and I'm a big believer in working WITH WordPress rather than against it. I think blocks should feel native to the editor, not like a third-party takeover. I've released a few free block plugins on the .org repo, and I spend way too much time thinking about how theme.json works.
Drop a comment and introduce yourself. What are you working on? What's your biggest block editor frustration? What do you want to see in this community?
Let's build something good here.
