ZenBlocks extends the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) with custom blocks and advanced styling controls. Design responsive, professional buttons and UI elements — without writing any code.

Button Basic Block

Create fully customizable buttons with granular control over every visual aspect:

  • Colors & Backgrounds — Solid color, gradient, or image backgrounds with hover state support
  • Typography — Font family, size, weight, line height, and letter spacing
  • Layout — Width, height, padding, and margin with fine-grained control
  • Borders — Width, style, color, and independent corner radius
  • Icons — 1,500+ built-in icons with size, color, and position options
  • Hover Effects — Separate styling for hover state with smooth transitions
  • 32 Design Presets — Start from professionally designed templates and customize freely

Responsive Design

Every setting supports 4 breakpoints (PC / Tablet L / Tablet / Mobile) so your buttons look great on all devices. Customize values per device or let them cascade automatically.

Performance

ZenBlocks generates optimized CSS per page — only the styles you actually use are loaded on the frontend. No bloated global stylesheets.

Pro Features (Optional)

Additional features such as animations, thumbnails, and background video are available through a separate plugin (ZenBlocks Pro) from zenblockswp.com.

Source Code

This plugin includes compiled JavaScript and CSS files in the build/ directory. The original uncompiled source code is included in the src/ directory of this plugin.

To build from source:

  1. Install Node.js (v18 or later)
  2. Run npm install in the plugin root directory
  3. Run npm run build to generate the production files in build/

The build process uses @wordpress/scripts (webpack-based).

External services

This plugin includes an optional media search feature that connects to third-party image and video APIs. These services are only used when the user configures API keys in the plugin settings and actively searches for media within the block editor. No data is sent to these services during normal frontend usage.

Icon Libraries (bundled, no external requests)

All icon data is included locally within the plugin files — no external HTTP requests are made to any of these services at any time (neither in the editor nor on the frontend).
